Activity dot

Keyboard

ActivityDot displays status. It does not need keyboard interaction or focus of its own.

Semantics

Describe the status with label. Show important changes in nearby text too.

Checklist

• Explain active and idle states in nearby text as well as color.
• If the dot is decorative, avoid repeating the surrounding status announcement.
• If a change needs an immediate announcement, add a status message in your app.

For contrast, zoom and screen reader checks, see the common accessibility checklist.
