I’m trying to make a button that is just text that looks like…

[] news

and then when you hover over it it will look like…

[x] news

but to do so I have only been able to make it work with static text which in return makes it look like crap…

Is there a way to do it using Dynamic text?

Sorry if this has been asked, I’m currently on 28.8k and I couldn’t scour the boards looking for a the answer.
