# Styling Change to Read-Only Checkboxes

When you view a record, read-only checkboxes no longer specify the `disabled` attribute, so screen readers can now announce the state and value of the checkboxes. Read-only checkboxes now display with hover text "True" or "False".

**Where:** This change applies to Lightning Experience.

**Why:** Meeting accessibility standards helps your UI support all of your users.

**How:** In Lightning Experience, the change applies to record pages that use LWC. When you view a record, fields and checkboxes are read-only.

A read-only checkbox on a record page displays these behaviors.

- If selected, a read-only checkbox displays a gray checkmark ![selected checkbox with a gray checkmark](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-salesforce_release_notes-260-0-0-production-enus/ba62a63b-6cd1-440e-8d24-e867afab0363/salesforce_release_notes/images/260_checkbox_selected.png) only. Previously, a read-only checkbox that's selected displays a checkmark enclosed in a disabled gray checkbox.
- If not selected, a read-only checkbox displays as an empty checkbox with a dotted icon ![checkbox with a dotted icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-salesforce_release_notes-260-0-0-production-enus/ba62a63b-6cd1-440e-8d24-e867afab0363/salesforce_release_notes/images/260_checkbox_false.png). Previously, a read-only checkbox that's not selected displays a disabled gray checkbox.
- If required, a read-only checkbox displays without an asterisk because it can’t be checked or unchecked.

On a list view, checkboxes in a column also display with the updated styling.

Note Record pages that use Aura components, such as the record pages for Campaign and Task, continue to display read-only checkboxes with a gray border when selected ![selected checkbox with a gray border](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-salesforce_release_notes-260-0-0-production-enus/ba62a63b-6cd1-440e-8d24-e867afab0363/salesforce_release_notes/images/260_checkbox_aura_selected.png) and when not selected ![checkbox with a gray border](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-salesforce_release_notes-260-0-0-production-enus/ba62a63b-6cd1-440e-8d24-e867afab0363/salesforce_release_notes/images/260_checkbox_aura_false.png).
