instead changing the default in style xml file. do this.

create this your_custom.xml file and and save it in drawable folder

your_custom.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item android:drawable="@drawable/unselected" android:state_checked="false"><color android:textColor="#your_color" />
    </item>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/selected" android:state_checked="true"><color android:textColor="#your_color" />
    </item>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/uncheck"></item>
   <!-- default -->

</selector>

you will have to create three images for checkbox display 1.selected 2.unselect 3.uncheck

after all this done set attribute to your checkbox in layout

android:button="@drawable/your_custom"

Ya it works....but it is in small size...so i want to change the size..Please help me – sathya. nagaraj19 Sep 09 '15 at 09:11
That must be bcoz images used by you are small. check out this link (http://android-holo-colors.com). just choose your color. select checkbox, download files and put them in your project folders respectively. – Jolson Da Costa Sep 09 '15 at 09:15
Hmm k...i will check that – sathya. nagaraj19 Sep 09 '15 at 09:18
