Sizing and Spacing

Sizing and Spacing settings are enabled by default, but you can disable them if you need to customize them. 


Sizing settings control the size of the switch items you've used (Figure 4). There are settings for the height and width of the bar (the background) and control (the "switch"), so in this example the bar would be 50 pixels wide and 24 pixels high.

Spacing settings manage the space between each switch item (Figure 5), so in this example each item would be spaced 15 pixels apart.
