In the context of the desktop I don't see this as making much difference, but on phones could it not be argued that making OK harder to press is good design? It could force the user to read what they're agreeing to, which could be potentially harmful or unwanted.
>could it not be argued that making OK harder to press is good design?
No. The lazy, dopamine-seeking psychology of end users should be utilized for maximum profit and exploitation. Apple knows this.
>It could force the user to read what they're agreeing to, which could be potentially harmful or unwanted.
That's called an anti-pattern. You're not supposed to do that. UIs should be predictable, not hostile.
window controls are more equivalent to the cancel button, and the right side of the title bar often has buttons integrated into it for app-specific actions
Depends on environment. On Windows, buttons on the window ribbon are handled by host Win32 application. They send the WM_CLOSE message to the WndProc and, if caught, can be used the same way as a Cancel button. But naturally, that would give way for misinterpretation if the user isn't given a dedicated and obvious Cancel.
Default should be last one you read so it's freshest in your memory. That means it's on the right in left-to-right languages and on the left in right-to-left languages.
>desktop
OK - Cancel because most people read left to right, so OK will come first. >mobile
Cancel - OK because most people are right-handed and it's easier to tap OK if it's on the right.
The bottom one is on smartphones. The assumption there is that you're holding it in the right hand, so the default OK button is closer to your thumb.
The top one is on a desktop, where there are no such assumptions. So the order is left->right simply because that's how western writing works.
Cancel - OK
It's how we read/scroll menus/flip pages. We go backwards on the left and forwards on the right. To continue is to go right, therefore the button to continue should be on the right.
Easier to hit OK on mobile if its on the right, because im (like most other people) right-handed.
Cancel to the right on desktop because the close button is to the right.
It should always be cancel and it should automatically click itself and turn the computer off and throw itself in the garbage for even thinking about putting one of those up.
I agree with Cancel-OK but I firmly believe in and pro actively advocate for inclusive computing by design, so that would mean to add an option (think of a toggle switch) under the Cancel-OK buttons to switch around the Cancel-OK sequence to OK-Cancel.
if you present someone a binary choice in text or speech, you will always present the positive choice first
the civilized world reads left-to-right
can we close this question?
Giving the user the option to cancel considered harmful
I thought Nielsen was the standard

Cancel - Ok cuz 90% ppl are right thumbed so its a better UX/UI experience. Apple is knows this

That's why they put Window controls on the left huh
window controls are more equivalent to the cancel button, and the right side of the title bar often has buttons integrated into it for app-specific actions
That's done because many interactive elements which are unique to macintosh are primarily on the left. English is read from left to right.
ok, cancel
ok - skin cancer
OK OK, and cancel button flying around the screen like DVD logo.
Based, and with the title bar "X" disabled
X is handled by the window manager ok/cancel by the application

The least harmful option should be on the right.
Neither answers the question. Yes, No.

This except on desktop the reason is that the left-most button will be focused first so you can just press enter to continue or tab + enter to cancel
Any of them, just make sure the least harmful one is the one selected by default

Random so you don't just click one side or the other on instinct and actually have a moment to think about your choice before you make it.

Although you are a fricking moronic homosexual for posting a soicuck, I agree with the point you are making.

Cancel - OK for mobile because right-handed people using their thumb.
OK - Cancel for desktop because everyone reads left to right
Make it consitent. If Windows uses Ok on left and you write for Windows then Ok should be on the left.
If there is HIG then follow it. If there is no such thing then do what is the most common on the platform.
