If I remember correctly Borland claimed compliance with some standard for the TUI toolkit provided as part of Turbo Pascal. I cannot remeber which ISO it may have been, or if details like checkboxes were covered by it. Does the current ISO 9241 cover that topic? The three recent main losses of clarity/usability seem to be: 1) links no longer visually identifiable, 2) changes applying instantly instead of only when pressing apply/ok and no cancel button to revert, 3) now the loss of visually identifiable checkboxes. Shouldn't things become easier and more clearly identifiable to use with todays user base of 100% of mankind compared to limited few persons 30 years ago? Why is the opposite happening?
