I'm designing an element for a plugin called elementor. This project is really just to help me learn the functionality of developing for wordpress.

What I'm making is a "toggle content" slider that can toggle between text or predefined html. I've used the slider according to this guide: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_switch.asp Right Now the size of a switch is very big. I want a small switch. How Can change it? Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

.switch {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  width: 60px;
  height: 34px;
}

.switch input { 
  opacity: 0;
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
}

.slider {
  position: absolute;
  cursor: pointer;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  background-color: #ccc;
  -webkit-transition: .4s;
  transition: .4s;
}

.slider:before {
  position: absolute;
  content: "";
  height: 26px;
  width: 26px;
  left: 4px;
  bottom: 4px;
  background-color: white;
  -webkit-transition: .4s;
  transition: .4s;
}

input:checked + .slider {
  background-color: #2196F3;
}

input:focus + .slider {
  box-shadow: 0 0 1px #2196F3;
}

input:checked + .slider:before {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(26px);
  -ms-transform: translateX(26px);
  transform: translateX(26px);
}

/* Rounded sliders */
.slider.round {
  border-radius: 34px;
}

.slider.round:before {
  border-radius: 50%;
}

I used calc(); and var();, so you don't have to do a lot of work
Mozilla documentation: calc() explanation and var() explanation and --var: ; explanation .

just change ONE value the height of switch for change all responsively!!!

* {
    --switch-height: 34px; /* change the value */
      
    /* other code, pls see it then */
}

if you want a smaller switch, the 8px default padding, will take a lot of space,
so I simplified it for you! just change the --switch-padding: 8px; to something smaller...
automatically CSS calculates all things for you, for making the switch look good for all dimensions :)

the same thing if you want the switch to be bigger, remember to make the padding also bigger (the padding var)

enter image description here

I know This is not a site "we-are-doing-your-work.com" but I really want to help you!

here the complete fixed code:

* {
  --switch-height: 34px;
  --switch-padding: 8px;
  --switch-width: calc((var(--switch-height) * 2) - var(--switch-padding));
  --slider-height: calc(var(--switch-height) - var(--switch-padding));
  --slider-on: calc(var(--switch-height) - var(--switch-padding));
}

.switch {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  width: var(--switch-width);
  height: var(--switch-height);
}

.switch input {
  opacity: 0;
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
}

.slider {
  position: absolute;
  cursor: pointer;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  background-color: #ccc;
  -webkit-transition: .4s;
  transition: .4s;
}

.slider:before {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  height: var(--slider-height);
  width: var(--slider-height);
  left: calc(var(--switch-padding) / 2);
  bottom: calc(var(--switch-padding) / 2);
  background-color: white;
  -webkit-transition: .4s;
  transition: .4s;
}

input:checked+.slider {
  background-color: #2196F3;
}

input:focus+.slider {
  box-shadow: 0 0 1px #2196F3;
}

input:checked+.slider:before {
  transform: translateX(var(--slider-on));
}

.slider.round {
  border-radius: var(--slider-height);
}

.slider.round:before {
  border-radius: 50%;
}

You can change the size by changing the css

.switch {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  width: 35px;
  height: 22px;
}

.switch input { 
  opacity: 0;
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
}

.slider {
  position: absolute;
  cursor: pointer;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  background-color: #ccc;
  -webkit-transition: .4s;
  transition: .4s;
}

.slider:before {
  position: absolute;
  content: "";
  height: 10px;
  width: 10px;
  left: 4px;
  bottom: 6px;
  background-color: white;
  -webkit-transition: .4s;
  transition: .4s;
}

input:checked + .slider {
  background-color: #2196F3;
}

input:focus + .slider {
  box-shadow: 0 0 1px #2196F3;
}

input:checked + .slider:before {
  -webkit-transform: translateX(16px);
  -ms-transform: translateX(16px);
  transform: translateX(16px);
}

/* Rounded sliders */
.slider.round {
  border-radius: 34px;
}

.slider.round:before {
  border-radius: 50%;
}
