I'm having trouble aligning some of the elements.

  1. I would like align Check Box and Cross Box to be same size so that they look nicer below is what i got so far.

  2. Also it would be great if they can change in size with respect to environment with (some ratio 60% of text or so)

  3. Have background so that it would be easer to read.(as shown in the second part of the question)

Thank you for your help in advance!

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[a4paper,margin=2cm,showframe=false]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{pst-node}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\usepackage{marvosym}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\newsavebox\IBox
\newenvironment{good}[2][1]
{\def\scale{#1}\begin{lrbox}{\IBox}\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr#2\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule\relax}\ignorespaces}
{%
    \end{minipage}\end{lrbox}%              
    \rput( \dimexpr-10\wd\IBox+\fboxsep+\fboxrule\relax,0){%               
  \scalebox{\scale}[1]{   \makebox(0,0){\put(20,0){%
 \resizebox{0.4\textwidth}{!}{\color{green!25}\Checkedbox}}}}%
        }%
    {\usebox\IBox}%
  }  
  \newenvironment{bad}[2][1]
{\def\scale{#1}\begin{lrbox}{\IBox}\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr#2\linewidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule\relax}\ignorespaces}
{%
    \end{minipage}\end{lrbox}%              
    \rput( \dimexpr-10\wd\IBox+\fboxsep+\fboxrule\relax,0){%               
  \scalebox{\scale}[1]{   \makebox(0,0){\put(20,0){%
 \resizebox{0.37\textwidth}{!}{\color{red!25}\Crossedbox}}}}%
        }%
    {\usebox\IBox}%
  }

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]

\vspace{3mm}

\begin{good}{0.49}
\lipsum[1]
\end{good}\hfill
\begin{bad}{0.49}
\lipsum[1]
\end{bad}

\vspace{3mm}

\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

[UPDATE] This is a more or less second part of the answer

I would be happy if some one can put Checked-box as the background for this one.

And again there is some aligning problems with minipage but i will ignore this one for now.

  • Do you plan to add/expect floats inside two columns below checkmarks and crossmarks or is it just text ? May 21, 2013 at 7:09
  • well it's just a text and text may be longer or shorter. I was thinking to force minimum size for checkmarks such that even if there is one line of text, it would be forced to create space below.

  • Inside minipage you can't have any pagebreaks. The background can be achieved by the option singleextra. May 24, 2013 at 10:51

I guess your are compiling with xelatex or latex->ps->pdf, because you are loading pst-node. If you are using pdflatex there is a strange interaction between pst-node and the option opacity of TikZ.

However you can add material to the background of your environment by the options singleextra.

   \path let \p1=(P) in node[opacity=.2,red,scale=10] at (.5*\x1,.5*\y1) {\Crossedbox};

  • thanks a lot :)...i'm only exploring potentials of Tex ... you must go over many packages ... *Note i think if you can add blended colours in to the mdframed it would be more powerful:) (I do like minimalism but sometimes slight change in light colours improves the look)

  • What do you mean with blended colors? Something like in example 7 here: mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mdframed/… May 25, 2013 at 7:17
  • yes that exactly what i mean :) ...for some reasons ... i just like native commands more ... :)
