Making a switch toggle darker using CSS - html

Question

I have this basic switch toggle script which I found online and have implemented into my project. My sites background seems to be a bit too bright for the button to sit nicely without it being difficult too see, so my question is, how can I edit this switch toggle CSS code to make the it a little bit darker so I can use it on my site?
I'm only really worried about darkening the actual toggle button - that's the worst part and I have tried fiddling with the script but just cannot seem to find any part that changes the toggle?
Here is my JSfiddle
.container {
margin: 50px auto;
width: 280px;
text-align: center;
}
.container > .switch {
display: block;
margin: 12px auto;
}
.switch {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
width: 56px;
height: 20px;
padding: 3px;
background-color: #03C;
border-radius: 18px;
box-shadow: inset 0 -1px white, inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);

Answer 1

You need to change backgroud:#yourcolorcode of class.switch-label
.switch-label {
position: relative;
display: block;
height: inherit;
font-size: 10px;
text-transform: uppercase;
background: #000;
border-radius: inherit;
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12), inset 0 0 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
-webkit-transition: 0.15s ease-out;
-moz-transition: 0.15s ease-out;
-o-transition: 0.15s ease-out;
transition: 0.15s ease-out;
-webkit-transition-property: opacity background;
-moz-transition-property: opacity background;
-o-transition-property: opacity background;
transition-property: opacity background;
}
Also if you want to change the color of the circle of the radio button update the .switch-handle and .switch-handle:before classes
.switch-handle {
position: absolute;
top: 4px;
left: 4px;
width: 18px;
height: 18px;
background: #000;
border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #000 40%, #000);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #000 40%, #000);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #000 40%, #000);
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #000 40%, #000);
-webkit-transition: left 0.15s ease-out;
-moz-transition: left 0.15s ease-out;
-o-transition: left 0.15s ease-out;
transition: left 0.15s ease-out;
}
.switch-handle:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin: -6px 0 0 -6px;
width: 12px;
height: 12px;
background: #000;
border-radius: 6px;
box-shadow: inset 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.02);
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee, #000);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee, #000);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee, #000);
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #eeeeee, #000);
}
I hope this is what you want https://jsfiddle.net/mam1yj1f/8/

Answer 2

add
.switch {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
width: 56px;
height: 20px;
padding: 3px;
background-color: #03C;
border-radius: 18px;
cursor: pointer;
background-color: black;
}
to your CSS style, jsfiddle

Answer 3

Just change the switch label color as follows:
.switch-label {
position: relative;
display: block;
height: inherit;
font-size: 10px;
text-transform: uppercase;
background: magenta;
....
}
P.D. I used magenta color just for making the example

Answer 4

You want to edit the .switch-handle and .switch-handle:before.
This makes it darker, you just need to fiddle about the background colours to get what you want.
.switch-handle::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin: -6px 0px 0px -6px;
width: 12px;
height: 12px;
/* change these!*/background: #F9F9F9 linear-gradient(to bottom, #A8A8A8, #959595) repeat scroll 0% 0%;
border-radius: 6px;
box-shadow: 0px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.02) inset;
}
.switch-handle {
position: absolute;
top: 4px;
left: 4px;
width: 18px;
height: 18px;
/* change these!*/background: #FFF linear-gradient(to bottom, #CCC 40%, #F0F0F0) repeat scroll 0% 0%;
border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
transition: left 0.15s ease-out 0s;
}
