Tailwind CSS: Style checkboxes and radio buttons.

Styling Common Web Page Parts

Style checkboxes and radio buttons.

Skill ID: StylingCommonParts_15

Description: Change the default look of those little square checkboxes or round radio buttons.

Where to apply: Forms asking for choices, settings panels.

Key Tailwind Classes:


       accent-blue-500

, or


       @tailwindcss/forms

classes

Gotcha: Trying to extensively style the shape and size of native checkboxes/radios without the @tailwindcss/forms plugin or using appearance-none (and then rebuilding the look from scratch) is very difficult. accent-blue-500 only changes the color of the browser's default controls.
