Steps to reproduce

0. Have a theme with warm colors
1. Have a poll
2. Vote on that poll
3. Close the dialog by visual style, not reading

Expected behaviour

I shall not be confused with an destructive action i cannot undo.

Actual behaviour

When I am about to sumbit my poll the primary color and the big red end button are very similar. But because the submit button is disabled before I select the option, I see the change and survive this step.

Then, I read the results and want to close the dialogue, so i click on the lower right button, expecting close. While I do not expect to be able to close the poll (I did not start, but am moderator), I also would expect a close button there, rather an end one.

Eventually, I cannot undo ending the poll.

While you can argue it is my fault to have an orange primary color, the styling, positioning and incorrectability of my action may be considered nevertheless.

I guess that is a general problem with theming atm.

But yeah gets more complicated when the buttons are next too each other.

Not only with theming, as I tried to point it out. Such uncommon but decisive action could be hidden behind a ⚙️ icon or something, but not be shown by default in such dominant manner.

Option1: Move "End Poll" to a 3-dot menu like it is done in Media Settings

Option2 : Change the button type to tertiary with no background

Option3: Move both buttons in a menu-button like this (bottom right)

IMO, I prefer the 3rd option as it leaves a room for scalability and also doesn't emphasize any action that causes confusion in some way. Beyond this issue, I would like to bring these points

• Share results automatically after closing the poll should be an option
• "Private Poll" means "keep responses anonymous" (rewording)
• At least Moderator/Poll creator should see who voted when the poll is open (when it is not anonymous ofc)
• Option to export results after Poll is closed ( already mentioned in a discussion)

If they are valid, I will create a new issue.

This sounds like the best option from the things still doable atm

The menu button is also doable ( NcActions )

[nickvergessen]

yeah but I don't want the button to submit the poll to be that hidden.

I think that this is us being too permissive with themes. All "error" buttons are going to look like primary with such theming colors. I don't think that hiding all of them is a workable solution.

We can also use the same technique as in Call button ( showing a default button text and clicking brings the menu)

I think the Change your vote and the Submit Vote should be clearly visible. However I would indeed hide the End Poll button in a 3-dot menu...
