How do I style a custom checkbox in Bootstrap 4? I've tried everything but I can't even change its background color.
This is my code outline:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-alpha.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-rwoIResjU2yc3z8GV/NPeZWAv56rSmLldC3R/AZzGRnGxQQKnKkoFVhFQhNUwEyJ" crossorigin="anonymous"> <label class="custom-control custom-checkbox"> <input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input"> <span class="custom-control-indicator"></span> <span class="custom-control-description">Check this custom checkbox</span> </label>
What do I target here? Could someone just show me how to change its background?
Thank you.
It worked for me with
.custom-checkbox .custom-control-input:checked~.custom-control-label::before {
background-color: #caca4c;
}
.custom-control-input:checked~.custom-control-label::before {
color: #fff;
background-color: #caca4c;
}
.custom-control{ background-color: grey; }
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-alpha.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-rwoIResjU2yc3z8GV/NPeZWAv56rSmLldC3R/AZzGRnGxQQKnKkoFVhFQhNUwEyJ" crossorigin="anonymous"> <label class="custom-control custom-checkbox"> <input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input"> <span class="custom-control-indicator"></span> <span class="custom-control-description">Check this custom checkbox</span> </label>
You simply just had to override custom-control-indicator
style.
try as below
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-alpha.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-rwoIResjU2yc3z8GV/NPeZWAv56rSmLldC3R/AZzGRnGxQQKnKkoFVhFQhNUwEyJ" crossorigin="anonymous"> <style> .custom-control-input:checked~.custom-control-indicator{ color:white; background-color:red; } </style> <body> <label class="custom-control custom-checkbox"> <input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input"> <span class="custom-control-indicator"></span> <span class="custom-control-description">Check this custom checkbox</span> </label> </body> </html>
I made a little demo for you
<style> .custom-checkbox { padding: 0; } .custom-checkbox .fa-toggle-on, .custom-checkbox .fa-toggle-off { font-size: 135%; /*this icon is relatively small*/ } .custom-checkbox input[type=checkbox] { visibility: collapse; width: 0px; margin-left: -0.25em; } .custom-checkbox input[type=checkbox] ~ .custom-check-on { display: none; } .custom-checkbox input[type=checkbox]:checked ~ .custom-check-on { display: inline; } .custom-checkbox input[type=checkbox]:checked ~ .custom-check-off { display: none; } .custom-checkbox input[type=checkbox]:disabled ~ * { color: #b6b4b4; } .custom-checkbox input[type=checkbox].error ~ .custom-check-on, .custom-checkbox input[type=checkbox].error ~ .custom-check-off { border: solid 2px red; } .custom-checkbox i.btn { overflow: hidden; color: transparent; position: relative; display: inline-block; width: 3em; padding: 0; font-style: normal; } .custom-checkbox .btn:after { content: ""; font-style: normal; border: 7px solid white; position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; border-radius: 5px; } .custom-checkbox .custom-check-on.btn:after { right: -4px; } .custom-checkbox .custom-check-off.btn:after { left: -4px; } .custom-checkbox .custom-check-on.btn:before { content: "On"; color: white; margin-left: -10px; } .custom-checkbox .custom-check-off.btn:before { content: "Off"; color: #333; margin-right: -15px; } .custom-checkbox input[type=checkbox]:checked ~ .btn.custom-check-on { display: inline-block; } </style>

I have the same question as olefrank. I want to use an alternative image. For example on our intranet's forms page, to indicate a favorite form, I'd like the user to select a star instead of a checkbox. I got it to work with images, but I used the markup specified in Bootstrap 4 documentation:
<div class="custom-control custom-checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input" id="customCheck1">
<label class="custom-control-label" for="customCheck1">Check this custom checkbox</label>
</div>
And then the following css:
.custom-checkbox .custom-control-label::before {border-color: transparent; background-color: transparent;}
.custom-checkbox .custom-control-label::after {background-image: url(five-pointed-star.svg); background-size: 100%;}
.custom-checkbox .custom-control-input:checked~.custom-control-label::before {border-color: transparent; background-color: transparent;}
.custom-checkbox .custom-control-input:checked~.custom-control-label::after {background-image: url(five-pointed-star-selected.svg); background-size: 100%;}
But I would love to know how to specify an alternate image using a web font, unfortunately way outside my skill set!
