How to change jQuery Mobile flipswitch size

Question

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?

Answer 1

As exemplified here you might need to introduce in CSS

• custom indentations
• custom widths

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;
}
