Appearance
In this article, you will find information about the styling options and rendering of the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Switch.
For a complete example, visit the Appearance Demo of the Switch.
Options
The Switch HtmlHelper provides the following styling options:
-
Size()—configures the overall size of the component. -
TrackRounded()—defines the radius of the track's border. -
ThumbRounded()—sets the radius of the thumb's border.
Size
The Size() method allows you to adjust the size of the Switch. The default size is Medium.
@(Html.Kendo().Switch()
.Name("switch")
.Size(ComponentSize.Medium)
.Messages(c => c.Checked("YES").Unchecked("NO"))
)
The option adds a class k-switch-md to the span.k-switch element:
<span class="k-switch k-switch-on k-switch-md">
</span>
The following values are available for the Size option:
SmallMediumLargeNone
TrackRounded
You can control how much border radius is applied to the component's track by using the TrackRounded() method. The default value is Full.
The example below demonstrates how to set the TrackRounded option:
@(Html.Kendo().Switch()
.Name("switch")
.TrackRounded(Rounded.Full)
)
The option adds a class k-rounded-full to the span.k-switch-track element that wraps the On/Off labels:
<span class="k-switch-track k-rounded-full">
</span>
The TrackRounded option supports the following values:
SmallMediumLargeFullNone
ThumbRounded
The ThumbRounded() method controls how much border radius is applied to thumb of the Switch.
@(Html.Kendo().Switch()
.Name("switch")
.ThumbRounded(Rounded.Full)
)
The option adds a class k-rounded-full to the span.k-switch-thumb element for the Switch handle:
<span class="k-switch-thumb k-rounded-full">
</span>
The ThumbRounded option supports the following values:

Rendering
Starting with version R1 2022, the component has a new rendering. For additional information on the decision behind these changes, visit the Components Rendering Overview article.
To review the latest rendering of the component, refer to the HTML specifications in the Kendo UI Themes Monorepo. The tests folder of the repository contains the rendering for all flavors of the components, providing a clear reference for how their elements are structured. The rendering information can help you customize a component's appearance and behavior by applying custom CSS or JavaScript to suit specific design or functional requirements.
