Airplane Mode Toggle
The knob is a little plane: switch it on and it takes off across the track, growing as it climbs, with a dashed contrail behind it and clouds drifting past while airplane mode is on.
Also known as: airplane mode switch css, flight mode toggle, plane toggle animation.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--tgl-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Size: set
--tgl-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing24px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
