CheckBoxPreference with own layout

I have PreferenceScreen with some PreferenceCheckBoxes. I want to change the textColor and textSize for title and summary and the images for the CheckBox checked and uncheckes. So I am using android:layout to change this attributes.

My ChceckBoxPreference:

<CheckBoxPreference
    android:layout="@layout/preference_checkbox"
    android:key="temp"
    android:title="@string/title"
    android:summary="@string/summary"
    android:defaultValue="true" 
/>

When I use android:widgetLayout it looks strange. And this is my preference_checkbox.xml:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:padding="10dp"
>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
>
<TextView 
    android:id="@+android:id/title"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:textColor="@color/gray"
    android:textSize="20sp"     
    />
<TextView 
    android:id="@+android:id/summary"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:textColor="@color/gray"
    android:textSize="14sp"
    />
</LinearLayout>
<CheckBox
    android:id="@+android:id/checkbox"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
/>  
</RelativeLayout>     

Title with id @+android:id/title and summary with @+android:id/summary are showing correct values. However the checkbox despite of default value and id @+android:id/checkbox is not working properly. It isn't showing correct value and I can't change the value kept in preferences. Without using any layout, I can change value of checkbox by touch at the whole CheckBoxPreference. But now (with my layout) I can change value of checkbox only by touch on this checkbox. How can I make layout for CheckBoxPreference in properly way with all the functionalities?
