What makes a bad UI design?
Traits of a bad UI: Sluggish and unresponsive – interaction will be slow and clunky. Complicated – the site will be hard for people to understand. Confusing – it will be unclear about where the visitor should go next.
Can checkboxes be round?
No need to hide the default checkbox and create a custom just set the clip-path and you can easily achieve a circular checkbox.
What is a circular checkbox called?
Use standard visual representations.
A checkbox should be a small square that has a checkmark or an X when selected. A radio button should be a small circle that has a solid circle inside it when selected.
Which is better radio buttons or checkboxes?
When should you use radio buttons or checkboxes? This relies entirely on what question you are asking. If you want your users to select multiple options, use checkboxes. If you want your users to select only one option, use radio buttons (or another alternative).
