Additional context
Greetings! I noticed that the Stack app has received a new update, which includes the introduction of switches for Crashlytics and Event logging. However, the switches appear to be a bit unusual. Allow me to explain how to fix them, as I have encountered a similar issue in my own Android apps.

First, create a file called preference_switch_widget_layout.xml in the layout folder. This file should contain the following code:

<com.google.android.material.materialswitch.MaterialSwitch
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/switchWidget"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@null"
    android:clickable="false"
    android:focusable="false"/>

Next, add the following line to the theme used by the settings activity:

  <item name="switchPreferenceCompatStyle">@style/switchPreferenceCompatStyle</item>

Then, add this style to themes.xml:

 <style name="switchPreferenceCompatStyle" parent="@style/Preference.SwitchPreferenceCompat.Material">
        <item name="widgetLayout">@layout/preference_switch_widget_layout</item>
    </style>

After completing these steps, the switch should display normally (assuming I haven't forgotten anything). 😊

Hey @D4rK7355608, thanks for the heads up! I believe the appearance is the default for what the Material library from Google provides. However I have noticed that they don't look quite like the system switches. I'll look into this. Thanks for the code snippets!
