David Mathew asked: > Are there any good conventions for displaying a "partially selected checkbox"?
Check boxes with mixed-value state have been around a long time, dating back to GUI's in the 80's. The most common representation I've seen is gray fill of the entire check box - usually dithered (probably because that was the state of the art for gray in the earliest incarnations). See Check boxes, Figure 6.12 in the Gnome Usability Project's Human Interface Guidelines for one example (http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/hig-diff/controls-check-box es.html). MS Office 2007 uses green fill - same idea, different styling. Displaying a gray check mark is a poor solution for reasons stated in Adam's posting.
