How to style the angular2 material slide-toggle button
I've found you can use /deep/ in the css but you also have to target the specific classes.
/deep/ .mat-slide-toggle-bar {
height: 7px !important;
}
/deep/ .mat-slide-toggle-thumb {
height: 10px !important;
width: 10px !important;
}
Something else to keep in mind is viewEncapsulation because deep allows you to break this convention since the styles are set in such a way with Angular that they are applied inline.

@tallgeese117 's answer is really very helpful. I would like to add few more lines of code to the their answer so that it will display the toggle in the required size and look:
/deep/ .mat-slide-toggle-bar {
height: 7px !important;
width: 28px !important;
}
/deep/ .mat-slide-toggle-thumb {
height: 10px !important;
width: 10px !important;
}
/deep/ .mat-slide-toggle.mat-checked .mat-slide-toggle-thumb-container {
transform: translate3d(18px,0,0) !important;
}
/deep/ .mat-slide-toggle-thumb-container {
width: 12px !important;
height: 12px !important;
top: -2px !important;
}
I used the solution provided by @tallgeese117 above. But in VScode, the CSS file was showing in red (\deep\
), which was annoying. I couldn't find a way to ignore this css lint check. Thus I tried an alternative (altering css dynamically). I am pasting it below for others:
ngOnInit() {
let eleArray = document.getElementsByClassName('mat-slide-toggle-content');
for(let i = 0 ; i < eleArray.length; i++) {
// @ts-ignore
eleArray[i].style.cssText = 'font-size:6vw;';
}
}
