Hello and welcome.

In what way "checkbox do not work"?

without reset all other styling.

What other styling are you talking about?

[Mahjouba]

no checkmark appears anymore when the checkbox is selected.

the other styling are the color of the text/label.

@Mahjouba
And are you setting "the color of the text/label" in stylesheet or in code? The rule is if in code you will lose it if you apply any stylesheet, that's why I ask.
