Creating Your Own Themes

With Vue Switches, you can create your own themes. Each switch has a base class of .vue-switcher and uses specific classes based on the props you set. For a custom theme, you could define styles like this:

scss
.vue-switcher-theme--custom {
    .vue-switcher-color--blue {
        div {
            background-color: lighten(blue, 10%);
            :after {
                background-color: darken(blue, 5%);
            }
        }
        .vue-switcher--unchecked {
            div {
                background-color: lighten(blue, 30%);
                :after {
                    background-color: lighten(blue, 10%);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
