title: JavaFX, How to Resize a Checkbox?
body: <p>I can't seem to resize a check box, regardless of using width/height, minWidth/minHeight or maxWidth/maxHeight. Changing the min width only seems to effect the nodes padding</p>
  
  <pre><code>package checkboxtest;
  
  import javafx.application.Application;
  import javafx.scene.Scene;
  import javafx.scene.control.CheckBox;
  import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
  import javafx.stage.Stage;
  
  public class CheckBoxTest extends Application {
  
      @Override
      public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
  
          CheckBox checkBoxResize = new CheckBox("Resize");
          checkBoxResize.setMinWidth(300);
          checkBoxResize.setMinHeight(300);
  
          CheckBox checkBoxNoResize = new CheckBox("No Resize");
  
          StackPane root = new StackPane();
          root.getChildren().add(checkBoxResize);
          root.getChildren().add(checkBoxNoResize);
  
          Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
  
          primaryStage.setTitle("Hello Checkbox!");
          primaryStage.setScene(scene);
          primaryStage.show();
      }
  
      /**

      public static void main(String[] args) {
          launch(args);
