I am using a checkbox within a ToolStripMenuItem, in turn within a MenuStrip control. My first series of menu items (for example what might be within the File menu) have 24x24 pixel images. The second series of menu items (for example items that might comprise a View menu) have a series of items using the CheckState property of Checked.

The default image of the check, generated by the control, is within a colored square background, which seems to significantly overlap the width of thecolumn for the check boxes/images. I want the checked image and its background box to fit neatly into the column for check boxes/images. I have seen other applications, where they seem to have been able to achieve this. Despite trying various settings I cannot seem to do this. Can anyone help?
