First, after improvement A, the information is easier to understand visually because of the icons.
Furthermore, after improvement B, the buttons are easier to see because they are separated by color in addition to the icons.

Tip:
Be careful not to overuse icons or use icons that do not serve their purpose, as this can end up overwhelming users with too much information.

, however, related information is organized and prioritized, making it easier for users to find what they need.

Information from movement
Animations, hovers, and other movements are used to attract attention and guide the viewer's gaze.
Among these, movements that are most commonly used on the web are those that allow users to understand the situation, and play an important role in interface design. The presence or absence of such movements can make a big difference in ease of understanding and usability. For example

, if the color is inverted and the button becomes highlighted when the cursor is placed over it, as shown below, it will be easier to physically understand what happened and how it turned out.


Visual information such as color, shape, layout, and movement have different levels of attention.
By understanding the characteristics of each and combining them effectively, you can design a UI that is easier for users to understand.
