Checkbox Card Select
The whole card is the label: selecting it turns the border and icon tile to the accent, adds a soft ring and pops a check badge into the corner. Good for plan features, integrations and settings.
Also known as: checkbox card css, selectable card css, card checkbox.

</label>Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--chk-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Size: set
--chk-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing24px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
