Checkboxes - sizing

I have just started to use checkboxes for the first time. I notice that they don't resize when you resize your screen. Is there a way to do this?

I have some users who have vision issues and want large fonts, and I have been able to accommodate them by using larger and bolder fonts. They run their screens maximized as well. But the checkboxes remain tiny in proportion to the text fields, especially with the maximized screens.

I have a feeling they use a standard checkbox control, which stays the same size regardless of window size.

You might be able to emulate a checkbox with a clickable image. This is how it is done on the web since the checkbox control is built in to the browser you cannot affect it's size.

So people just made an image of a checked box and and unchecked box and then switch the images when it is clicked. I think BR will support this.
