Add ways to customise Radio #168787
Description
Use case
There is Radio
and CupertinoRadio
I'd like/need a way to customise Radio to change in independent ways
- The color of the border.
- The background color (always transparent) for now.
- The color of the circle in it.
- The width of the border.
- The size of the circle in it.
That would allow me to have different designs or designs that are halfway through material and cupertino.
For example (ignore the ugly chosen colors):
Proposal
Add parameter to Radio and RadioThemeData to be able to set
- The color of the border.
- The background color (always transparent) for now.
- The color of the circle in it.
- The width of the border.
- The size of the circle in it.

Does it seem like something we'd want to implement? I'd be happy to raise a PR for that. I'd just need to know whether this is a legit request first :)

This seems like a valid request. WDYT @QuncCccccc

@chunhtai I personally don't have the need to add extra parameters to
CupertinoRadio.I added the parameters
backgroundColorinnerRadiussideTo the material
Radio.In some cases, some of those parameters would not make sense for
CupertinoRadio(for example, whenuseCheckmarkStyle: true)I was wondering if it would be better to not include Cupertino in the scope of this issue and wait for a real-world need.
What do you think?

I'm fine with waiting so we don't accidentally waste effort or add maintenance burden for features that no one needs. Though if @chunhtai thinks any of these are obvious wins then maybe it makes sense.
chunhtai commentedon Aug 15, 2025
yeah i agree we can wait until there is a need.
