OnOffSwitch Problems

I decided to switch my app preferences from CheckBox to OnOffSwitch for a more current look and feel. I am running on Android, several different devices.

With the default implementation I get these ugly On Off boxes which don't look anything like the on/off implementation in modern Android versions. Any plans to update this component?

I tried setting the onOffIOSModeBool theme constant as mentioned in the developer guide. I get absolutely nothing.

Images attached.

Thanks.

Yes it's on our top list of components to rewrite. Feel free to file an issue as I don't think we have an open issue on that.

I could not find an issue, so I added one here

I have the code for an OnOffSwitch component with a material design style by default. It is not polished yet (It is part of a larger components collection that I still regularly modify when I need a new functionnality or find a bug) but I can share the code as a starting point for your rewrite if you want to.

Thanks!

You can attach it to the issue or submit a PR so we have the log of where the code came from.

As I am not sure you saw it, just wanted to inform you that I attached the code to the Github issue 2 days ago.

Yes. It's assigned to Steve right now as I have a few things on my plate. He'll decide the best strategy for this.
