Size

Use the size prop to control the size of the checkbox.

<Flex align="center" gap="2">
<Checkbox size="1" defaultChecked />
<Checkbox size="2" defaultChecked />
<Checkbox size="3" defaultChecked />
</Flex>

Variant

Use the variant prop to control the visual style of the checkbox.

<Grid rows="2" gap="2" display="inline-grid" flow="column">
<Checkbox variant="surface" defaultChecked />
<Checkbox variant="surface" />
<Checkbox variant="classic" defaultChecked />
<Checkbox variant="classic" />
<Checkbox variant="soft" defaultChecked />
<Checkbox variant="soft" />
</Grid>

Color

Use the color prop to assign a specific color, ignoring the global theme.

<Flex gap="2">
<Checkbox color="indigo" defaultChecked />
<Checkbox color="cyan" defaultChecked />
<Checkbox color="orange" defaultChecked />
<Checkbox color="crimson" defaultChecked />
</Flex>

High-contrast

Use the highContrast prop to increase color contrast with the background.

<Grid rows="2" gap="2" display="inline-grid" flow="column">
<Checkbox color="indigo" defaultChecked />
<Checkbox color="indigo" defaultChecked highContrast />
<Checkbox color="cyan" defaultChecked />
<Checkbox color="cyan" defaultChecked highContrast />
<Checkbox color="orange" defaultChecked />
<Checkbox color="orange" defaultChecked highContrast />
<Checkbox color="crimson" defaultChecked />
<Checkbox color="crimson" defaultChecked highContrast />
</Grid>

Alignment

Composing Checkbox within Text automatically centers it with the first line of text.

<Flex direction="column" gap="3">
<Text as="label" size="2">
<Flex gap="2">
<Checkbox size="1" defaultChecked /> Agree to Terms and Conditions
</Flex>
</Text>
<Text as="label" size="3">
<Flex gap="2">
<Checkbox size="2" defaultChecked /> Agree to Terms and Conditions
</Flex>
</Text>
<Text as="label" size="4">
<Flex gap="2">
<Checkbox size="3" defaultChecked /> Agree to Terms and Conditions
</Flex>
</Text>
</Flex>

It is automatically well-aligned with multi-line text too.

<Box style={{ maxWidth: 300 }}>
<Text as="label" size="3">
<Flex gap="2">
<Checkbox defaultChecked /> I understand that these documents are
confidential and cannot be shared with a third party.
</Flex>
</Text>
</Box>

<Flex gap="2">
