Previous Behavior
If the author doesn't have an icon in their ToggleButton, or doesn't change the icon between visually distinct variants for checked vs. unchecked, the ToggleButton doesn't meet a11y requirements for color contrast / not color alone for checked vs. unchecked in any appearance variant:
unchecked:
checked:
Note: the outline variant does increase the border thickness, but since the border itself has less than 3:1 contrast, it doesn't help. In our story we do have an icon change so these specific buttons would be OK, but would fail without the icon.
New Behavior
An opt-in variant to each appearance that has actual contrasting color changes (or a stroke) to indicate the checked state. This was done w/ the design team, and checked w/ partners. In the future/v10, we should make the opt-in behavior the default, but for now it's opt-in.
unchecked:
checked:
I also added a story for the variant, and a11y docs for ToggleButton that explain when & why to use it.
