To create a custom themed toggle switch in .NET MAUI using the Switch class, you can define properties such as OnColor and ThumbColor to customize its appearance. You can instantiate the switch in XAML or C# and set these properties to achieve the desired theme.

Here’s an example of how to create a themed toggle switch in XAML:

<Switch OnColor="Orange" ThumbColor="Green" IsToggled="true"/>

And in C#:

Switch themedSwitch = new Switch 
{ 
    OnColor = Colors.Orange, 
    ThumbColor = Colors.Green, 
    IsToggled = true 
};

You can also define visual states for the switch to change its appearance based on the IsToggled property. This allows for a more dynamic and visually appealing design.

For more advanced theming, you might consider using styles and templates to create a consistent look across your application.
