   Does anyone know how to change the size of the checkboxes and maybe even the style on the tick using a png file?

   It'd be done through the CSS, for example, take a look here:

   http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4148499/how-to-style-checkbox-using-css

   A whole heap more from a Google search.

   I presume that's the sort of thing you're after. I think you'd modify the css for the form in Machform, or in a custom CSS file. You'd have to know the 'element' you're styling and add the CSS to the appropriate places.

   Thank you for your reply,

   Although I can get a checkbox styled with CSS in a html page I can't seem to style them in Machform.

   In CSS I style using the following:

   input[type="checkbox"] {
   display:none;
   }

   input[type="checkbox"] + label {
   color:#f2f2f2;
   font-family:Arial, sans-serif;
   font-size:14px;
   }

   input[type="checkbox"] + label span {
   display:inline-block;
   width:19px;
   height:19px;
   margin:-1px 4px 0 0;
   vertical-align:middle;
   cursor:pointer;
   background-image: url(check_radio_sheet.png);
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
   background-position: left top;
   }

   input[type="checkbox"]:checked + label span {
   background-image: url(check_radio_sheet.png);
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
   background-position: -19px top;
   }

   But it doesn't seem to work with Machform. Has anyone else come up with a work around?

   I figured it out... below for anyone else wanting to do the same. Insert the following in view.css

   input[type="checkbox"] {
   	-webkit-appearance: none; /* webkit */
   	visibility: hidden;
   }
   
   input[type="checkbox"] + label::before {
   content: "";
   display: inline-block;
   width: 58px;
   height: 60px;
   background: url(../checkbox_untick.png) no-repeat;
   
   }
   
   input[type="checkbox"]:checked + label::before {
   
   content: "";
   display: inline-block;
   width: 58px;
   height: 60px;
   background: url(../checkbox_tick.png) no-repeat;}

   Hi, thanks for this post. Two questions:

   1) Can you do this per theme, like using the advanced css area of the theme?
   2) Does this also work for radio?

   Thanks

   Yes, you can put them into each of your form's theme. Use the Advanced CSS area.
