I want better styling for inputs and selects

[aarongustafson]

We all have been there: Designers want big, colorful checkboxes, radio buttons and selects. For the sake of accessibility it would be awesome if these elements could be styled with CSS in a better way. How often do we see something like *-appearance: none; and a circled :before. Or—slightly better—playing around with the height, the width and the opacity of the input. More accessible, but still a workaround. With the first solution these elements are not part of the accessibility tree—so make them fully tailorable.

In case it's helpful, see: https://open-ui.org/

The purpose of Open UI to the web platform is to allow web developers to style and extend built-in web UI controls, such as dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, and date/color pickers.

Yes! Thank you! We are tracking that as it evolves. I’ll get it added to the related links for this one.
