Building

To build this CSS from SCSS files, use the following script :

npm run build

Customization

By using the SCSS files you can easily customize your icheck size and colors.

To customize the easiest way is to load icheck as a module by using the @use rule.

@use "./node_modules/icheck-bootstrap/scss/icheck-bootstrap" with (
    $size: 27px,
    $custom-colors: (
      'success': #FFFF00 #FF0000 #00FF00,
      'mycolor': #FF0000,
    )
)

As you can see in this example, size of checkboxes and radio buttons will be 27px (instead of the default 22px). success color is overwritten and mycolor is added, you can now use "icheck-mycolor" as a class.

Colors

If you watch the example above, colors are defined with one, two or three values separated by a space and in this order

• border color
• background color
• checkmark color

If only one value is set, this value is used for border and background color, the checkmark will use the default color.

If only two values are set, the checkmark will use the default color.
