Tick and Cross Checkbox
Off shows a red cross and on shows a tick, so both answers are explicit. Checking spins the cross out while the tick spins in with a spring, and the box swaps from a red tint to your accent.
Also known as: checkbox with x css, yes no checkbox, cross checkbox css.

}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.
