What do you mean by wrong? I guess this is subject 😅 If you percept it as the current display mode, it is correct. If you perceive it as an action button, it is wrong.

If i remember correctly, this behaves just like the similar switch in Windows Explorer, which displays the current display mode, instead of the mode that it would trigger. Personally I think this is more intuitive. But ideas are welcome 😊

ah............If that is the case, it's correct

But, I felt like it's a switch since it's a button.

Don't you feel like it's better if it's a switch. I mean.............

In windows explorer, it has a drop down, and showing the selected mode.

But, if you check in google drive or gmail, the same implementation is there as a switch. And also, when it's a button, I think it should show what's it's action more than it's status.

Hmm, now both way seems fine to me 😳

I guess the reason why I would consider it as status is because this button does not has borders. When you hover on it, it does not show borders to indicate that it is an action, whereas Google Drive does that.

Let's see what @davidbau thinks.
