Default Radio Button and Check Boxes

I am creating a form that has 8 questions. 7 of the questions are Yes or No
and I have used check boxes. 1 question can have multiple answers so I have
used a radio button. Is there anyway to change the look of the radio button
to a square to look like the check boxes or is there a way to change the look
of the check boxes to a circle. Everything works just don't like the look of
squares and circle on one page, thanks.

Default Radio Button and Check Boxes

You really don't want to do this. The functions of check boxes and radio
buttons are well defined and should be understood by anyone who sees them.
But in fact you are not using them according to these definitions.
Ordinarily, radio buttons are used for multiple *mutually exclusive*
choices, whereas check boxes are used for "check all that apply" situations.
A yes/no question should have only a single on/off check box; if you have
two controls in this situation, then they should be radio buttons, one for
Yes and one for No.
