# Appearance

In this article, you will find information about the styling options and rendering of the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core CheckBox.

For a live example, refer to the [Appearance Demo of the CheckBox](https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/checkbox/appearance).

## Options

* [`Size()`](https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/html-helpers/editors/checkbox/appearance#size)—configures the overall size of the component.
* [`Rounded()`](https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/html-helpers/editors/checkbox/appearance#rounded)—configures the border radius of the component.

### Size

The `Size()` method allows you to change the size of the CheckBox.

```Razor HtmlHelper
@(Html.Kendo().CheckBox()
    .Name("checkBoxBtn")
    .Checked(true)
    .Size(ComponentSize.Medium)
)
```

```Razor TagHelper
<kendo-checkbox name="checkBoxBtn"
                checked="true"
                size="ComponentSize.Medium">
</kendo-checkbox>
```

The following values are available for the `Size` option:

* `Small`
* `Medium`
* `Large`

> When not explicitly set, the applied theme controls the default size.

> The `None` value is deprecated. Use custom CSS instead.

### Rounded

The border radius of the CheckBox can be customized through the `Rounded()` method.

```Razor HtmlHelper
@(Html.Kendo().CheckBox()
    .Name("checkBoxBtn")
    .Checked(true)
    .Rounded(BasicRounded.Medium)
)
```

```Razor TagHelper
<kendo-checkbox name="checkBoxBtn"
                checked="true"
                rounded="Rounded.Medium">
</kendo-checkbox>
```

The following values are available for the `Rounded` option:

* `Small`
* `Medium`
* `Large`

> When not explicitly set, the applied theme controls the default border radius.

> The `None` value is deprecated. Use custom CSS instead.

## Rendering

Starting with version R1 2022, the component has a new rendering. For additional information on the decision behind these changes, visit the [Components Rendering Overview](https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/styles-and-layout/components-rendering-overview) article.

To review the latest rendering of the component, refer to the HTML specifications in the [Kendo UI Themes Monorepo](https://github.com/telerik/kendo-themes/tree/develop). The `tests` folder of the repository contains the rendering for all flavors of the components, providing a clear reference for how their elements are structured. The rendering information can help you customize a component's appearance and behavior by applying custom CSS or JavaScript to suit specific design or functional requirements.
