use switches for checkboxes about kirki HOT 3 CLOSED

I absolutely love this framework. Thank you so much for your hard work.

imho use switches like this is problematic for at least 2 main reasons:

1. It's not "The WordPress way" - I think frameworks such as this should stick to the way WordPress handles options as much as possible. It makes for a more consistent user experience across the platforms
2. There's no solid research on how good or bad switches are for accessibility or general UX. However there is a metric crap-tonne for a standard checkbox.

My personal preference here would be to stick to checkboxes. However, if you wanted to go with switches, I would go with a solution which would allow me as a developer to use them or not'

'use_switches' => true

As part of the settings array, for example.

My 2 cents. Again, thanks for your hard work on this.

hey there!
I'm glad you like Kirki. 😄

IF we finally implement switwes, of course there's going to be an argument that will allow you to enable them on a per-setting basis.
For consistency we'll probably use 'mode' => 'switch' since we use 'mode' on radios as well.

2 new modes have been added: switch and toggle.
