Description

Two different checkbox visual styles appear in the preferences dialog:

Filled square — used by most QCheckBox instances (e.g., Tree View, Overlay, Document options)
Checkmark — used by QGroupBox::indicator on checkable group boxes (e.g., "Enable Notification Area", "Enable Pop-Up Notifications")

Radio buttons on the Help page also use a third style (hollow circles) that doesn't match either checkbox variant.

Proposed Fix

Normalize all indicator styles in the stylesheet:

QCheckBox::indicator:checked,
QGroupBox::indicator:checked {
    /* Use same filled-square or checkmark style consistently */
}

QRadioButton::indicator:checked {
    /* Match visual weight of checkbox indicators */
}

Pick one style (filled square is more visible on dark backgrounds) and apply it uniformly.

Component: Stylesheet (resources/preferences/)
