I get the reasoning to move away from the j3 style especially the red/green etc But it doesnnt work in all cases and the use of grey makes it look disabled.
See images below for the menu client - it looks ok when you have selected admin but it looks like its a disabled option when you have selected site

You really shouldn't use dropdowns when you only have a choice of two items. Radio options (or something emulating it with a "fancy" UI like this toggle) are better for that.
@mbabker where do you see that though? This is an option so until you switch you don't know what you are switching to and thus it looks like you are turning on / off. But this is actually and this or that?
It would need to display the value of both options which it doesn't. and if you use red/green that means right/wrong. Not this or that.
So we need to rebuild how the toggles work so it displays the values which it currectly doesn't do. and instead it's currently more like and on/off.
unless its an obvious binary such as on/off and show/hide using toggles is not good usability as you cant see what the other options are without toggling. I did point this out back in october or november
exactly. In J3.7 we use btn-group and group multiple buttons for a single selection with the text shown. We need this for all these types of radios, that are more than yes/no.

I can make the grey darker so it doesn't look disabled. May add a slight box shadow to give it some depth.
