John Link Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 How can I darken the X in a check box so that when the box is checked the X can be clearly seen? I find the very light grey to be almost invisible, and therefore ridiculous. John Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 The x in the checkbox, as well as the bounding rectangle, has the same attributes as the field's borders. I suspect you have "Hairline" selected as the border's line width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Link Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) The x in the checkbox, as well as the bounding rectangle, has the same attributes as the field's borders. I suspect you have "Hairline" selected as the border's line width. Your guess was very close. The line width was 1 point but the color was grey. I changed the color to black so now I can see the X. But how silly that the border that surrounds the box is forced to be the same color as the box and the X! In a text field the text can be black and the border can be a different color. Why not the same freedom for check boxes? John Link Edited July 28, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Most people wouldn't put a border around a checkbox - so it would be silly to waste resources and clutter the interface just for that. And you can always draw a rectangle around the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
