Passed in container style only applies to the slider, not the track

It is good that there are different options for style and trackStyle so that you can customize the slider more, but this causes some problems with styling. When you pass in style={{paddingTop: 8}}, The track will move down 8 units but the slider will remain in place, causing the slider to be off the track.

The expected behavior here would be if I pass positioning style into the style prop, the whole component is repositioned instead of only piece of it.

Workaround: wrap your Slider component in a View and apply the positioning style to the wrapper, like so:

<View style={{paddingTop: 8}}>
    <Slider {...mySliderProps} />
</View>
