Check box conventions
There are two types of check boxes: two-way and three-way.
A two-way check box has two states: either enabled (with a check mark in it) or not (when it's empty). For example, Config > Options... > Colors tab > Build file coloring.
A three-way check box has three states (for example, Builder > Project > Options > General tab > Automatically use MVC):
- The first state is On. The box has a plus sign (+), indicating that the option is turned on, overriding any previous or inherited settings.
- The second state is Off. The box contains a minus sign (-), indicating that the option is turned off, overriding any previous or inherited settings.
- The third state is Default. The box is empty, indicating that the inherited state, if any, is used.
