The UX is confusing, but when the button is grey, it is meant to mean that the button is pushed down and active. So it's intended to be that way.

Kevin the grey one always looks like inactive, if we change it I think we will get better UX. 

NI'ing Liz to opine on this.

Either way, it will be confusing. Preferably we'd change it to a slider, or just get rid of the toggle.

Slider looks better option :) Shall I log different bug for this?
Part of the confusion with the toggle is that the selected state is clickable. The selected state should NOT be clickable - only the active state (the view I want to change to) should be clickable.

Use of gray is also confusing. For another piece of work, I've suggested a lighter blue tone for the selected state. NIing Phil to get you that color - it doesn't exist yet in our palette.

A slider is not recommended at this time - we're trying to move away from this list/grid toggle altogether.

This will be fixed as part of MOW P1. Light blue colour for reference: #40ADFF
