Try to use "extra-high-no-scale" priority on all sprites used in your GUI styles.

Why do we even have the extra-low setting? It makes the game look like someone smeared pixels across the screen.

But the game is unplayable on that setting, so it doesn't matter.

I'll give that a try and see what it looks like. it doesn't help though that by default a checkbox is resized down to 16x16, which is why I used a scale = 2 to make it 32x32 again.

EDIT: That did the trick, thanks.
Though it does seem to still be clipping off the left hand side of the checked icon. you can see what I mean in that screenshot.

Anyway, although my mod is fixed by changing those settings.... it might still be a good idea to look at why those checkboxes turned into blocks that were as big as the whole gui. Because, you know... they should probably just be pixelated boxes of the right size.

Though, I understand this is a minor bug.
