Zero Trickery Custom Radios and Checkboxes

Many custom radio buttons and checkboxes simply enlarge and recolor the standard elements. SurveyMonkey is a prime example of this approach, using large, visually distinct options throughout its interface.

Interestingly, achieving this basic customization often requires minimal CSS. Simply increasing the size and adjusting the color can suffice:

input[type="radio"],
input[type="checkbox"] {
  width: 3em;
  height: 3rem;
  accent-color: green;
}

This code effectively increases the size and applies a green accent color. However, compatibility issues arise, specifically with Safari's rendering. While functional, the visual output differs.

For truly custom designs that overcome browser inconsistencies, Stephanie Eckles' resources are invaluable:

• Pure CSS Custom Styled Radio Buttons
• Pure CSS Custom Checkbox Style

On a related note, toggle UI controls are essentially enhanced radio buttons. However, a dedicated native slider toggle isn't available, as Michelle Barker's work highlights.
