title: Theme/Style all checkboxes
body: <p>I am trying to understand how to change the look of all checkboxes within my application for a certain theme.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to change the checkbox check color and the checkbox border color.</p>
  
  <p>If I create this style:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;style name="MyCheckBox" parent="Widget.AppCompat.CompoundButton.CheckBox"&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorControlNormal"&gt;#8AFFFFFF&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorControlActivated"&gt;@android:color/white&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And apply it as a theme on my checkbox it works great.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;CheckBox
    android:id="@+id/status_favorite"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:theme="@style/MyCheckBox"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However I don't really want to apply that theme to every checkbox, I would like to set the theme for all checkboxes.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to set the checkboxStyle in my theme however this doesn't work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat"&gt;
      ...
      &lt;item name="checkboxStyle"&gt;@style/MyCheckBoxStyle&lt;/item&gt;
      ...
  &lt;/style&gt;
  
  &lt;style name="MyCheckBoxStyle" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.CompoundButton.CheckBox"&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorControlNormal"&gt;#8AFFFFFF&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="colorControlActivated"&gt;@android:color/white&lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to set a default theme for all checkboxes?</p>
