I disagree. Instead of a screen dimmer which is readily accessible, guys on a new civilian ship started just throwing their jackets over the screen because they could not readily dim it at night. Turns out that they needed to go to a sub-menu of a sub-menu. The red light should be a quick and easy switch not a time consuming hunt through several screens.
Used to be you got in a high-end British or Italian car, driving was simple. Controls were exactly where you expect them to be and you don’t have to go looking for them in the dark.
that’s poor software design.
what I said.
