title: Android switches - making thumb height larger than track height, how?
body: <p>Is there any way to make the height of the thumb of a switch bigger than the track height in Android versions prior to Lollipop ?</p>
  
  <p>I am essentially trying to create a material design-like switch widget in Kitkat (and older versions- the problem here is the thumb by default 'fits' inside the track). I have been working on this for quite some time now but I can't seem to arrive at the correct design.</p>
  
  <p>I followed the solutions on this SO post: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10173590/how-to-change-the-size-of-a-switch-widget">How to change the size of a Switch Widget</a>. </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions or a solution would be most appreciated.</p>
