Hi,  
since version 2023.6 the icon of the checkbox is no longer correctly visible. The checkbox itself works, but the same strange icon is always shown in every state. I have already tried countless variants with the CSS file, but without success.  
It works perfectly in the Servoy NG Data Grid.

What else can I do?

Regards  
Andreas

can you double check in the browser the styling? because i think that is wat is here the problem. there is some styling somewhere in the solution that causes this.

In the HTML detail you can see the following … however this doesn’t really get me anywhere

if you click on that ::before and look at the style tab, you should see what is applied. Very likely some old icon font that is no longer shipped.

That could be the problem. But I can’t find a way to change this. BTW: what is the recommended symbol font?

OK, so GUSTAVTemplate.css seems to define something for bts-check that uses Glyphicons that Servoy no longer includes. What we still do include and very likely will continue to include is font-awesome. So first fix attempt is to comment these 4 lines out in the CSS. Second fix attempt is to override this with something from font-awesome, e.g.

> **[Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com/search?q=square&o=r&ic=free)**
>
> The internet's icon library + toolkit. Used by millions of designers, devs, & content creators. Open-source. Always free. Always awesome.

Thank’s for the support … now it works.
