+//
+// the layout is similar to this:
+// [()---[()===========]----]
+//
+// where - is the native input and the == is the material track
+// at 0 we want to shift the native knob right (padding + knob-size / 2):
+// [----[(())===========]----]
+//
+// at the end we want to shift the native knob left by the same amount:
+// [----[===========(())]----]
+//

+// and in RTL we want to do the the same * -1
