Custom Styling Checkbox using CSS
The provided code creates a custom-styled checkbox within an HTML container. It utilizes CSS to style the container, hide the default checkbox input, and create a visually appealing custom checkbox. When users hover over the label or the hidden checkbox, the custom checkbox's background color changes. When the checkbox is checked, it displays a checkmark symbol and changes its background color to a blue shade. This code allows for a visually pleasing and interactive checkbox element with a custom design.
<div class="checkbox-container">
<input type="checkbox" id="cb">
<label for="cb">I agree to the Terms of Service.</label>
</div>
.checkbox-container {

display: flex;
align-items: center;
