The normal convention for making a form element disabled is to make it
faded out (<100% opacity), not giving it a gray fill.
I disagree. I think gray fill is a understood convention because it is
a browser default for text inputs. In Firefox, it's also the same
convention for checkboxes. Try
http://jsfiddle.net/ap1d28ka/1/ in
various browsers including Firefox (both gray fill) and Chromium (both
gray fill, checkbox also apparently translucent).
I think the extension to checkboxes is fairly straightforward. I don't
claim this is the only reasonable way to do disabled checkboxes, but
it's an option.
