If checkbox is checked, you can see that by using the checkbox pseudo-class ::checked. You need to specify the width, height, background, margin, and borderradius property of the label. Set the position as “relative”.
The solution (in principle)Wrap your checkbox in a label element. This will mean that even when it is hidden, you can still toggle its checked state by clicking anywhere within the label. Hide your checkbox. Add a new element after the checkbox which you will style accordingly.
Style the label with the width, height, background, margin, and border-radius properties. Set the position to "relative". Style the "checkbox-example" class by setting the display to "block" and specifying the width and height properties. Then, specify the border-radius, transition, position, and other properties.
You can use accent-color property in css to change background color of both checkbox and radio buttons.
I suggest using "outline" instead of "border". For example: outline: 1px solid #1e5180.
You should use
-moz-appearance:none;
-webkit-appearance:none;
-o-appearance:none;
Then you get rid of the default checkbox image/style and can style it. Anyway a border will still be there in Firefox
If something happens in any browser I'd be surprised. This is one of those outstanding form elements that browsers tend not to let you style that much, and that people usually try to replace with javascript so they can style/code something to look and act like a checkbox.
You can use box shadows to fake a border:
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 1px rgba(255,0,0,1);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 1px rgba(255,0,0,1);
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 1px rgba(255,0,0,1);
Here is a pure CSS (no images) cross-browser solution based on Martin's Custom Checkboxes and Radio Buttons with CSS3 LINK: http://martinivanov.net/2012/12/21/imageless-custom-checkboxes-and-radio-buttons-with-css3-revisited/
Here is a jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/DJRavine/od26wL6n/
