I\'ve searched extensively on here for an answer to this but haven\'t quite come across what I\'m looking for. Found this CSS - How to Style a Selected Radio Buttons Label? but
IMHO best way to do this without messing up with html by PURE CSS is
input[type="checkbox"] {
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
padding: 0;
margin-right: 10px;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:before {
content: '';
margin-right: 10px;
display: inline-block;
margin-top: -2px;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
background: #fcfcfc;
border: 1px solid #aaa;
border-radius: 2px;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:hover:before {
background: #f5821f;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:focus:before {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12);
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked:before {
background: #f5821f;
border-color: #f5821f;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:disabled {
color: #b8b8b8;
cursor: auto;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:disabled:before {
box-shadow: none;
background: #ffffd;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
left: 5px;
top: 8px;
background: white;
width: 2px;
height: 2px;
box-shadow: 2px 0 0 white, 4px 0 0 white, 4px -2px 0 white, 4px -4px 0 white, 4px -6px 0 white, 4px -8px 0 white;
transform: rotate(45deg);
}
