Styling CheckBox

[Tim K]

I want to change the size of a com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.CheckBox
so that it grows/shrinks. I am using a Chrome Browser. It zooms in
and out with Ctrl-Plus and Ctrl-Minus.

This entry in my css file had no effect.
.gwt-CheckBox {
width: 1em;
height: 1em;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

Chrome's inspector displays this HTML.
<span class="gwt-CheckBox">
<input type = "checkbox" ...

Should class="gwt-CheckBox" be on the input element?
Can a java method add a class to the input element?

I have a css work around that is working for me, but it will affect
all checkboxes.
input[type="checkbox"]{
width: 1em;
height: 1em;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;

}
Thanks,
Tim K.

No. A CheckBox widget is composed of a checkbox and label, wrapped in
a <span>

You can use a SimpleCheckBox instead of a CheckBox, to just have the
<input type=checkbox>.

But you can also just tweak your CSS to target the input child of
the .gwt-CheckBox:

.gwt-CheckBox input {
