Comment 10 for bug 986534

Please note that the checkboxes are also used in the in-game sound options, so it needs to work with the brown wooden background as well.

I think you might be on to something with the light backgrounds, but I don't know how well they fit in with the overall style (colors used by other buttons and controls). Also, I would prefer to see a noticable difference when hovering the cursor over them (like the buttons do currently), though I am not sure whether the checkboxes are set up to support this, so that might be a separate issue. Still, something to keep in mind.
