Why can't modern UI designers design buttons that LOOK like actual buttons?

So my mother, is presently studying the #RSCDS courses for doing teaching, as there is a shortage of teachers in the Queensland branch.

The exams, use the Microsoft Office365 system. Not my preference, but fine… it just needs a web browser. The laptop here is a Lenovo B590 running Windows 7 … not new, but it's functioning.

She commented she couldn't go back to the previous sections of the exam, only forwards. Sounded like a very draconian limitation … but others could? Oookay, is Firefox too old? Maybe we need to consider an OS update.

I downloaded Debian yesterday just in case (Ubuntu doesn't fit on 4.7GiB DVD-Rs anymore). Had a look today… this is how the UI Geniuses at Microsoft designed the Back/Next buttons. (a rough re-creation)

The next button is obvious, but the back button just looks like plain unclickable text. No wonder it was missed!

Even Windows 1.0 had more obvious looking buttons than this! #UI #UX #Rant

Approximate re-creation of the back/next buttons on the exam.

The "Next" button is shown in white text on a blue rounded rectangle.

The "Back" button is just the word "Back" in black text, with no obvious button… it looks like a heading.

Not so sure if there are any #Scottish #dancers in my #Dutch Mastodon circle, but this is to let you know that a Scottish Country Dancing #ball is coming up in #Eindhoven at the end of the month. Alas, I will not be able to go, but I hope it's going to be a success. #RSCDS
