Customize Bootstrap checkboxes

You have to use Bootstrap version 4 with the custom-* classes to get this style:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-/Y6pD6FV/Vv2HJnA6t+vslU6fwYXjCFtcEpHbNJ0lyAFsXTsjBbfaDjzALeQsN6M" crossorigin="anonymous">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<!-- example code of the bootstrap website -->
<label class="custom-control custom-checkbox">
  <input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input">
  <span class="custom-control-indicator"></span>
  <span class="custom-control-description">Check this custom checkbox</span>
</label>

<!-- your code with the custom classes of version 4 -->
<div class="checkbox">
  <label class="custom-control custom-checkbox">
    <input type="checkbox" [(ngModel)]="rememberMe" name="rememberme" class="custom-control-input">
    <span class="custom-control-indicator"></span>
    <span class="custom-control-description">Remember me</span>
  </label>
</div>

Custom checkbox style on Bootstrap version 3?
Bootstrap version 3 doesn't have custom checkbox styles, but you can use your own. In this case: How to style a checkbox using CSS?

These custom styles are only available since version 4.


Since Bootstrap 3 doesn't have a style for checkboxes I found a custom made that goes really well with Bootstrap style.

Custom icons

You can choose your own icon between the ones from Bootstrap or Font Awesome by changing [icon name] with your icon.

<span class="cr"><i class="cr-icon [icon name]"></i>

For example:

  • glyphicon glyphicon-remove for Bootstrap, or
  • fa fa-bullseye for Font Awesome

.checkbox label:after,
.radio label:after {
  content: '';
  display: table;
  clear: both;
}
