Description

Hi,

Thanks a lot for sharing the library, it is working great.

What I would like to do is to have two different background colors, one for the part of the switch button before the thumb drawable and one for the part after the thumb drawable.

So far, I just managed to change the background color of the whole button depending on wether it is selected or not. But what I want is, for instance, if the thumb drawable is at the middle of the button, the left side of it to be red and the right side to be blue.

Thanks in advance.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the Android switch widget's drawing and thumb/background handling, then determine how the track is rendered on each side of the thumb. Done means the switch can display distinct colors before and after the thumb, including when the thumb is centered.
