SWITCH
A SWITCH widget is a toggleable switch with two states. The widget is similar to the switches seen on most modern smartphones, e.g. in a phone settings application. A SWITCH widget can have two states, a 'left' state when the thumb is on the left and a 'right' state when the thumb is on the right. Optionally, each state has its own text that is shown inside of the switch.
The widget can be clicked to be toggled, or its thumb can be dragged from one side along to the other side, as seen on most smartphones.
