Two Label Toggle Switch
Two words side by side in one pill, with a colored highlight that slides under whichever is active. Reads like a two-option segmented control but it is one checkbox, so it submits as on or off.
Also known as: css toggle switch with two labels, segmented toggle switch, sliding pill toggle.

}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.
