How to change jQuery Mobile flipswitch size

I need a jQuery Mobile flipswitch with custom width & height. I managed to change the size of it by wrapping the flipswitch in a div and applying the following CSS:

   #flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch {
       position:absolute;
       width:400px;
       height:100px;
   }

   #flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch-active {
       padding-left:0px;
   }

   #flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch .ui-flipswitch-on,
   #flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch.ui-flipswitch-active .ui-flipswitch-on{
       width:98px;
       height:98px;
   }

   #flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch.ui-flipswitch-active .ui-flipswitch-on {
       padding-top:0px;
       margin-left:300px;
   }

However the text is not positioned correctly. Check the jsfiddle here:

I think I might not be doing the correct thing. Can you advise if that is possible in jQuery Mobile?

Solution

  • As exemplified here you might need to introduce in CSS

    because the length of custom labels differs from the length of the standard labels

    You can position the text by correcting the indentation in the CSS

    #flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch .ui-flipswitch-on,
#flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch.ui-flipswitch-active .ui-flipswitch-on{
    width:98px;
    height:98px;
    text-indent: -20em;
}

#flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch.ui-flipswitch-active .ui-flipswitch-on {
    padding-top:0px;
    margin-left:300px;
    text-indent: -18em;
}

    Position the text in the middle (see comment below):

    #flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch {
    position:absolute;
    width:400px;
    height:100px;
    line-height: 100px;
}
#flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch-active {
    padding-left:0px;
}
#flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch .ui-flipswitch-on, #flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch.ui-flipswitch-active .ui-flipswitch-on {
    width:98px;
    height:98px;
    text-indent: -20em;
}
#flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch.ui-flipswitch-active .ui-flipswitch-on {
    padding-top:0px;
    margin-left:300px;
    text-indent: -18em;
    line-height: inherit;
}

#flipswitchWrapper .ui-flipswitch-off {
    line-height: inherit;
}

    With vertical alignment of labels: https://jsfiddle.net/8czs4qzn/3/
