Given the close proximity and large number of checkboxes in data views, the default 20px size feels a little clumsy and adds outsized prominence to bulk actions.

This PR is not intended to be merged, it's purely to try a smaller checkbox in data views to see if it works better. If so, then it'd be good to update the Checkbox component to support a small size variant (with finessed iconography) and utilise that within data views. As pointed out by Joen, it may actually be preferable to start with these style overrides, and add the variant later.

The smaller footprint could arguably be considered a usability trade-off, but - given the entire row is clickable to select in table layout - perhaps this isn't such a compromise?

I did some research regarding this suggestion.

  • In the core, the checkbox size is 1rem, which matches the compact size proposed by this PR (Source).
  • The related core ticket is here, but it doesn't seem to specifically mention the minimum size of the checkbox.
  • As level AAA in WCAG 2.1, it is defined that the target should be 44px or higher, but I'm not sure if this applies to the checkbox. I couldn't find any official recommended size for checkboxes (Source).
  • We should also consider the size in the mobile viewport. Currently 24px size for small viewport widths, 20px size otherwise (Source).

No strong opinions here, it seems fine to contextually reduce the size.

As level AAA in WCAG 2.1, it is defined that the target should be 44px or higher, but I'm not sure if this applies to the checkbox. I couldn't find any official recommended size for checkboxes

It should probably be considered in this calculus that commonly a checkbox will be paired with a label, making the whole label in addition to the checkbox a clickable area. In this particular context, the entire row is clickable, making a mammoth size tap target.

Cool, I suppose the next step is to refactor this PR to add a size variant to CheckboxControl. I'll work on that when I get a moment. Heads up @WordPress/gutenberg-components.

@jasmussen

Not sure if we can or not, but would it make sense to not add the variant quite yet, and keep it override-only in this context, at least for a couple of releases to gather some feedback? Mainly to be sure when we finally do add the variant, we actually intend to use it in more places than just here.

@jameskoster

We can do it that way if y'all prefer. Might need to add some more overrides to finesse the icons though, they're a bit cramped at the minute.

Adjusted the icon sizes slightly:

If we want to go down the override path then this PR is ready for review.

I think there are three directions:

  • Override the checkbox size to 16px just for the DataViews
  • Change the default checkbox size to 16px
  • Add a small variation to the CheckbxControl component

There is #58564 regarding alignment changes for this component. It seems that local overrides are considered best to avoid there.

Furthermore, if I look deeper into the history of this component, the checkbox size was originally 16px. And it seems that it was changed to 20px in #20464.

The reason why a 20px size checkbox looks unnatural is because the area itself is small, such as a cell in a table layout or a card in a grid view, right?

I'd love to hear feedback from @WordPress/gutenberg-components on what direction we should go.

Good point. Also the overrides in this PR don't fully take into account the style changes that occur in narrow viewports, so that kind of complication might be another reason not to address this in a local override.

Data views in narrow viewport, with mispositioned checkmarks

I'll add another potential approach to @t-hamano's list, which is to try using a CSS variable in the CheckboxControl styles, e.g. --wp-components-checkbox-control-size, that can be overridden safely. This will force us to write the CheckboxControl styles in a way that supports any size, which is generally a good thing. It could be a safe way to experiment with contextual sizing in the Gutenberg app, short of promoting it to an official size variant.

That seems like a good suggestion. I've attempted to implement it, and here are the results:

Regular checkbox desktop (20px)

Regular checkbox small screen (24px)

I kept the old vars in case third parties are using them.

Please feel free to push any adjustments.

Smaller check looks good, in practice it's also worked well in Gmail that uses a similar size, even if the hit area is way larger than the visual footprint (as it also is here).

Entirely separately, that 16px "Search" font size is really awkward. I'm aware it exists to avoid zooming on iOS, is that still necessary or are there other ways around that these days?

The approach using CSS variables appears to be working as expected.

This PR also changes the size of the checkbox in the grid layout, is this what you intend?

You may also want to update the changelog.

I like the smaller size there, but we didn't add the click-to-select behavior to the cards in grid layout yet. If y'all feel that'd be a pre-requisite I'd be happy to restrict the smaller size to table layout initially.

Without this the checkbox wrapper renders at 18.58px tall which throws off the horizontal alignment with the smaller checkboxes.

I pushed a change to simplify the size styles a bit, and added a changelog for the component. I think this is good to go from the wp-components standpoint — let me know if I'm missing something!

$checkbox-input-size: 20px;
$checkbox-input-size-sm: 24px; // Width & height for small viewports.
.components-checkbox-control {
--checkbox-input-size: 24px; // Width & height for small viewports.

Let's keep the size for small viewports private for now, since we don't need to override it.

Scratch that. I discussed this with @DaniGuardiola and decided that we shouldn't be exposing an official-looking CSS var for this sizing experiment. Made some changes on how we override it. On the whole though, this style refactor should allow more of a safer override, although not "officially" sanctioned.

Currently in trunk, the icon size is 24px regardless of whether the input is 20px or 24px. I left it that way, but we could simplify the code (and possibly correct the visual incongruence) if that was unintended.

Sorry for the pain here, we do eventually want to make this kind of checkbox layout possible without hacks! I'll bump the priority.

@jameskoster Also, I noticed that the checkboxes are hidden until hovered on all devices/viewports. Shouldn't they be shown by default on touch devices?

Probably yes, but I think that's a detail to fix separately since the issue already exists on trunk. I'll open a PR this week.
