title: Android checkbox style
body: <p>I am new to android and I'm trying to set a style to all check boxes in my application. My application style is set to Theme.Holo which is dark and I would like the check boxes on my list view to be of style Theme.Holo.Light. I am not trying to create a custom style. The code below doesn't seem to work, nothing happens at all. I need to do this because my list view has a light paper texture and the check box and check box text is white which i would like dark.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;style name="CustomActivityTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:checkboxStyle"&gt;@style/customCheckBoxStyle&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  
  &lt;style name="customCheckBoxStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.CompoundButton.CheckBox"&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Also can you set styles to individual widgets if you set a style to the application?</p>
