Solution 2:

Technically, it is possible to change the color of anything with CSS. As mentioned, you can't change the background-color or color but you can use CSS filters. For example:

input[type="checkbox"] { /* change "blue" browser chrome to yellow */
  filter: invert(100%) hue-rotate(18deg) brightness(1.7);
}

If you are really looking for design control over checkboxes though, your best bet is to do the "hidden" checkbox and style an adjacent element such as a div.

Solution 3:

Checkboxes are not able to be styled. You would need a third party js plugin there are many available.

If you want to do this yourself it basically involves hiding the checkbox creating an element and styling that as you want then binding its click event to two functions one to change its look and another to activate the click event of the checkbox.

The same problem will arise when trying to style that little down arrow on a drop-down select element.

Solution 4:

I had the same issue, trying to use large inputs and had a very small checkbox. After some searching, this is good enough for my needs:

input[type='checkbox']{
  width: 30px !important;
  height: 30px !important;
  margin: 5px;
  -webkit-appearance: none;
  -moz-appearance: none;
  -o-appearance: none;
  appearance:none;
  outline: 2px solid lightblue;
  box-shadow: none;
  font-size: 2em;
}

JSFiddle

Maybe someone will find it useful.

Solution 5:

One line of CSS is enough using hue-rotate filter. You can change their sizes with transform: scale() as well.

.checkbox { filter: hue-rotate(0deg) }

Codepen

.c1 { filter: hue-rotate(0deg)   }
.c2 { filter: hue-rotate(30deg)  }
.c3 { filter: hue-rotate(60deg)  }
.c4 { filter: hue-rotate(90deg)  }
.c5 { filter: hue-rotate(120deg) }
.c6 { filter: hue-rotate(150deg) }
.c7 { filter: hue-rotate(180deg) }
.c8 { filter: hue-rotate(210deg) }
.c9 { filter: hue-rotate(240deg) }

input[type=checkbox] {
  transform: scale(2);
  margin: 10px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

/* Prevent cursor being `text` between checkboxes */
body { cursor: default }
<input type="checkbox" class="c1" />
<input type="checkbox" class="c2" />
<input type="checkbox" class="c3" />
<input type="checkbox" class="c4" />
<input type="checkbox" class="c5" />
<input type="checkbox" class="c6" />
<input type="checkbox" class="c7" />
<input type="checkbox" class="c8" />
<input type="checkbox" class="c9" />
