@dkwingsmt I’d like to work on this if no one is actively working on it. Planning to send a PR soon.

@dkwingsmt I've opened a PR implementing this: 188258
It adds an optional padding property to Checkbox (and CheckboxThemeData) that insets and proportionally scales the check mark and indeterminate dash, with tests and docs. Would appreciate a review when you have a chance. Thanks!
