I have my checkbox widget all set up and would like to change the tick color to green when selected (currently it is white). So I managed to change the color of the checkbox when it is un-selected to white by adding a theme. I want to change the selected tick color to green, however I cant seem to find the right option under theme to do so.
Code:
Widget buildResultTile(data) {
return Theme(
data: ThemeData(unselectedWidgetColor: white),
child:
CheckboxListTile(
activeColor: transparent,
title: AutoSizeText(
data,
maxLines: 1,
style: TextStyle(
color: white,
),
),
value: _serachSelectList.contains(data),
onChanged: (bool value) {
setState(() {
if (value) {
_serachSelectList.add(data);
} else {
_serachSelectList.remove(data);
}
});
},
secondary: const Icon(Icons.account_box, color: white),
)
);
}
Un-selected:
Selected (I want only the tick to be Colors.green
):
You need to ditch the CheckboxListTile
and instead use a Row
with an icon, text, and a simple Checkbox
widget.
Checkbox
provides checkColor
property - which is responsible for the check/tick color and is white by default. Set the color you desire for that property and it should work.
e.g.
Row(crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center, children: [
Icon(Icons.account_box, color: Colors.white),
Expanded(
child: AutoSizeText(
data,
maxLines: 1,
style: TextStyle(
color: white,
),
)
),
Checkbox(
value: _serachSelectList.contains(data),
onChanged: (bool value) {
setState(() {
if (value) {
_serachSelectList.add(data);
setState((){ default_color = selected_color });
} else {
_serachSelectList.remove(data);
setState((){ default_color = unselected_color });
}
});
},
checkColor: Colors.green,
activeColor: Colors.transparent,
materialTapTargetSize: MaterialTapTargetSize.shrinkWrap,
),
]);
I did not test this code - you might encounter size & alignment issues that you would need to solve yourself. Nevertheless, the general idea is valid.
Let me know if this helped.
