title: How to make a checkbox look better in android
body: <p>This is my XML for my check box:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;CheckBox
                  android:id="@+id/atm_checkbox"
                  android:layout_width="20dp"
                  android:layout_height="20dp"
                  android:background="@color/input_color" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And it looks like this:</p>

  <p>This is what i found on internet:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;CheckBox
          android:id="@+id/chkAndroid"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:text="@string/chk_android"
          android:checked="true" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which looks like <a href="http://www.mkyong.com/android/android-checkbox-example/" rel="nofollow">this</a></p>
  
  <p>how to change my checkbox to look like the one i found on internet.
  As my rep is &lt;10 i cant upload image of my checkbox, or can anyone help me how to style checkbox to make it look better</p>
  
  <p>I think both the xmls have similar code, but why are they looking so different?</p>
