Android Toggle Switch
The classic Android switch: a thin track under a bigger round thumb that overhangs it and turns your accent when on. A soft halo spreads around the thumb while it is pressed or focused.
Also known as: material 1 switch css, thin track toggle switch, android switch css.

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.
