@kslazinski thank you. Great timing as I’m about to build bottom tabs for the first time in my SwiftUI app.

@kslazinski It never occurred to me until your article that indicating a tab is selected by toggling between filled/not filled calls attention to which tab they’re on better. I’ve felt frustrated in an app I’m just prototyping, because making the selected tab blue didn’t feel clear enough.

Thanks for your article and code, I believe this will help me. I had played around with a partial-opacity blue square toggled over the selected tab, but alternating the symbol feels classier.

@Roblisenko Thanks, Rob 😊 And although I’ve decided to keep all the icons filled in my app, I also like this icon switch pattern nice. And many “big” apps use it as well 🙂

@kslazinski The change can be so subtle it’s almost hard to notice, but those can be the kind of interactions that help me as a user get used to an app. I love having the option, thanks again!
