}Goal: Create a "Balloon" toggle switch.
Visual behavior: A lift off switch drawn as a hot air balloon: the burner flares, the slumped envelope fills out, then the balloon rises and bobs as its shadow shrinks; off lets it sink back down.
Technique:
- A native checkbox with role="switch", visually hidden but focusable, sits inside a <label> before an aria-hidden drawing and the visible text. Every on state is styled from the input's :checked state through the adjacent sibling combinator, so Space and clicks both work.
- The burner flares with a keyframe while the envelope and the climb are transitions on the checked state with staggered delays, so it fills first and lifts second; once up, a slow keyframe bobs it.
- The shadow on the ground shrinks and fades as it rises. Pure CSS.
Accessibility: A native checkbox with role="switch" inside a <label>, so Space toggles it and the visible text names it; :focus-visible on the input outlines the drawing, which is aria-hidden. Under prefers-reduced-motion it lifts at once and does not bob.
