Tone checkboxes

Five checkboxes that carry a semantic tone in their checked state: info, success, warning, danger and muted. This is a separate styled component, so the base checkbox tone axis stays untouched. Each root exposes data-tone, is sized, token-driven, keeps the small-control touch target, and works controlled or uncontrolled.

CheckboxTone

Installation

The styled layer is free and installs like any other ai2 component.

Run the following command

npx shadcn@latest add @ai2/checkbox-tone

Dependencies, the @ai2/tokens theme and the component file are installed together.

Variations

5 takes on the same idea. Each is its own export, and every one accepts a size prop (sm, md, lg, xl) aligned to the base Button scale.

Info

The info tone for neutral, informational options.

ai2 Tone checkboxes: 5 styled variations on the token system

The ai2 Tone checkboxes are a set of 5 decorative button variations from the styled layer of the @ai2 design system, built around checkboxes coloured by semantic tone. They are free and MIT licensed, and every color comes from a semantic token, so they theme with the rest of ai2 in light and dark.

Motion runs on framer-motion: framer-motion scales the checkmark in with a spring. The styled layer is opt-in, so the dependency only lands if you use it; the base components stay lean. Under reduced motion, the checkmark appears instantly with no animation.

What is in the ai2 Tone checkboxes?

5 exports in one file: Info, Success, Warning, Danger and Muted. Each renders a native button and takes a size prop (sm, md, lg, xl) aligned to the base Button. They are separate from the base Button on purpose: the base keeps its clean variant, tone and size axes, while the styled layer carries the effects.

You own the file. Copy the one category file and you have all 5 variations, with no runtime dependency on ai2 itself.

Why use it

  • On-system by construction: Every color resolves to an ai2 semantic token, so the buttons follow your theme in light and dark with no extra work.
  • Effect without the sprawl: The decorations live in a dedicated styled file, so the base Button keeps its clean, predictable API.
  • Accessible and honest: Each renders a real button element, keeps a visible focus ring, and respects prefers-reduced-motion.

Features

  • Token-driven color: No hardcoded hex or oklch; the look recolors with your theme tokens.
  • framer-motion: framer-motion scales the checkmark in with a spring.
  • Reduced-motion aware: Under prefers-reduced-motion, the checkmark appears instantly with no animation.
  • Size aligned to the base: Every variation takes sm, md, lg and xl matching the base Button height scale, so styled and base buttons line up in a row.

Production tips

  • Use it for emphasis, not everywhere: Styled buttons draw the eye. Reserve them for the one action you want people to take on a screen, and use the base Button for the rest.
  • Keep labels as verbs: The decoration adds weight, so a clear action label keeps the button scannable.
  • Pick one variation per surface: The variations share a family; using two different ones in the same view competes for attention.

Works with the rest of ai2

The Tone checkboxes sit alongside the base Button and the rest of the @ai2 registry. They share the same token file, so a styled action next to a base button or a badge stays visually consistent in both modes.
