I agree. The second one looks great to me.

I really like it. The #ccc outline, #f9f9f9 fill and #ccc text looks great.

I was looking for a background color that has as little contrast as possible with #CCC. Important to have the border show but not dark enough that when it stands alone, it looks like an active checkbox. I made a version with #F9F9F9. What do you guys think?

I recommend using @colorDisabledText for the label, and @colorGray15 for the fill.

MediaWiki UI already has the current grays defined. According to current spec colour gray 12 (#ccc) is used for disabled text.

@colorGray1: #111; // darkest
@colorGray2: #222;
@colorGray3: #333;
@colorGray4: #444;
@colorGray5: #555;
@colorGray6: #666;
@colorGray7: #777;
@colorGray8: #888;
@colorGray9: #999;
@colorGray10: #AAA;
@colorGray11: #BBB;

@colorGray15: #F9F9F9; // lightest

@colorDisabledText: @colorGray12;

The label being grayed out is important. The outline being closer to white also helps a lot, but as you said, when it's alone the outline change is not enough. I think the gray fill is still a little dark, maybe use #f5f5f5 if you can swing it, but B is getting close.

I made a few of variations to compare. I think B works the best because it doesn't look like you can do anything about it. I greyed the text out, just like what happens to disabled buttons

If A and C stood alone without the standard checkbox, they may not be as clear that they're disabled. Is there a reason we're using lightgrey instead of actual value?

This is what it looks like when the checkbox uses #ddd instead of "lightgrey" and the surrounding .mw-ui-checkbox div is 50% transparent.

Maybe it's just me, but the new disabled checkbox doesn't look disabled to me:

The normal convention for making a form element disabled is to make it faded out (<100% opacity), not giving it a gray fill.

I have no idea where this design came from or who is responsible for it, but I was wondering if the design team could revisit it.

Thanks!
