Custom pictures for checkbox?

I would like to show checkbox as toggle button. But I can't apply my custom pictures to it with CCS -- still checkbox is drawn. How to accomlish this task?

My CSS:

input[type=checkbox]#settingsbutton {
    border-style: none;
    background-color: transparent;
    width: 42px;
    height: 40px;
    display: block;
}

input[type=checkbox].button-settings {
    background-image: url("images/button-settings-normal.png");
}

input[type=checkbox].button-settings:active {
    background-image: url("images/button-settings-normal.png");
}

input[type=checkbox].button-settings:hover {
    background-image: url("images/button-settings-hover.png");
}

input[type=checkbox].button-settings:active {
    background-image: url("images/button-settings-pressed.png");
}

My HTML:

 <body>

<input type="checkbox" id="settingsbutton" class="button-settings"/>

 </body>

Try this solution if you have some text in label

input[type=checkbox]{
    display:none;
}
input[type=checkbox] + label:before{
    height: 42px;
    width: 42px;
    content: url("../img/chk.jpg");
} 
body input[type=checkbox]:checked + label:before{
    content: url("../img/chk_checked.jpg");
}

If you want it's with pure css solution then you have to add label in your markup . It's a trick & write lke this:

input[type=checkbox]{
    display:none;
}
input[type=checkbox] + label{
    height: 40px;
        width: 42px;
} 
body:not(#foo) input[type=checkbox]:checked + label{
    background-image: url("images/button-settings-normal.png");
} 

body:not(#foo) input[type=checkbox] + label{
    background-position:0 -46px; /* as per your requirement*/
    height: 40px;
}

HTML

<body>

<input type="checkbox" id="settingsbutton" class="button-settings"/>
<label for="settingsbutton"></label>

 </body>

See this link for styling check-boxes: http://ryanfait.com/resources/custom-checkboxes-and-radio-buttons/

The solution involves hiding the check-box and adding a styled element in place of it, which emulates the check-box's behavior.
