How to style a checkbox using CSS

Answer 1

Simple to implement and easily customizable solution

After a lot of search and testing I got this solution which is simple to implement and easier to customize. In this solution:

1. You don't need external libraries and files
2. You don't need to add extra HTML in your page
3. You don't need to change checkbox names and id

Simple put the flowing CSS at the top of your page and all checkboxes style will change like this:

input[type=checkbox] {
  transform: scale(1.5);
}

input[type=checkbox] {
  width: 30px;
  height: 30px;
  margin-right: 8px;
  cursor: pointer;
  font-size: 17px;
  visibility: hidden;
}

input[type=checkbox]:after {
  content: " ";
  background-color: #fff;
  display: inline-block;
  margin-left: 10px;
  padding-bottom: 5px;
  color: #00BFF0;
  width: 22px;
  height: 25px;
  visibility: visible;
  border: 1px solid #00BFF0;
  padding-left: 3px;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

input[type=checkbox]:checked:after {
  content: "\2714";
  padding: -5px;
  font-weight: bold;
}
