How to change the color of checkbox

[Mrsunilg-3z0lTX]

Hi,

I want to change the color of the border of the checkbox (Square shape). How do I do it. I see control to change the color but all are changing the fonts. I want to change the border/edge of the rectangular box that I check.

Regards

Sunil

In Object > Field change Appearance to Custom... you won't be able to change the colour of a 3D box but if you change the line type to solid you can then pick a colour.

Hi,

Thanks for prompt reply. I dont want to change the color of the border. I want to change the color of the "check style" / X mark inside the checkbox. I dont see any custom "check style" so that i can change the color.

You need to edit the XML for the checkbox, see this thread:

Thank you Radzmar, I could do it. I also tried with this script and it worked fine.

this.font.fill.color.value="255,0,0";

I also change the xml, and it worked well.

<font>

     <fill>

          <color value="255,0,0" />

     </fill>

</font>
