Radio and Check Buttons

Radiobutton Checkbutton

States

There are compound states used in the checkbox, there must be at least two states whenever there is a selected state for pressed, active and disabled.

Both radio- and check buttons are created in a similar fashion, in that multiple images were created for the various states. All images need to be the same size and if they are about the same distance between the lines of widgets that would not be such a bad idea.

Whenever a radio or check button is disabled or enabled its selection must be maintained.
