title: Customizing android checkbox in application
body: <p>I am using my checkbox with android api-11 as below</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;CheckBox
              android:id="@+id/notifs"
              android:layout_width="150dp"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
              android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
              android:text="Enabled" 
              android:textColor="#ffdc143c"
              android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
              android:gravity="center"
              /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I want is to only change the background color of the selection box to some other color as it is appearing transparent in my app.</p>
  
  <p>How can I achieve this?</p>
