For the handle to be visible in Windows High-Contrast Mode, we apply a Size the round handle according to the diameter custom property. Width : calc ( var (-diameter ) * 2 + var (-offset ) * 2 ) /* 2 */ The default state is considered unchecked, hence why this pale red is Give a pill-like shape with rounded corners, regardless of the size. Grant a position context for the pseudo-element making the handle. * Kind thanks to Adrian Roselli for the tip: * thin semi-transparent (or fully transparent) border. For the toggle to be visible in Windows High-Contrast Mode, we apply a * could use `border-box` but the border would have to be considered Size the display according to the size of the handle. * horizontal space, essentially giving something like: Vertically center the icons and space them evenly in the available To make it easier to tweak its styles, we rely on some CSS custom properties for the offset around the handle, and the diameter of the handle itself. * a right margin on `.Toggle_display` in LTR, and left margin in RTL. If browser support is considered insufficient, use Provide spacing between the toggle and the text regardless of layout Grant a position context for the visually hidden and absolutely Make sure the toggle remains clean and functional even if the label is Vertically center the toggle and the label.

To avoid conveying the status of the checkbox relying solely on color ( WCAG Success Criteria 1.4.1 Use of Color), we are going to use a couple icons. Now, we are going to need a little more than this.

Sara Soueidan goes more in details about designing and building toggle switches. For instance, it is possible to use 2 radio inputs instead. It is worth mentioning that this is not the only way to mark up such interface component.
