You cannot change the color of a check box in Turing at the moment. You'll just have to change the background color. Or you can use


colorback(black)
cls

instead of...

GUI.SetBackgroundColor (black) 


This will give you a white box. (Mine crashed when I included the GUI.ProcessEvent!?!?!?! Ideas?!?!)

im not getting you.  if u cls, it clears the whole screen.  I have a whole display active that I dont want cls'ed.  I just wanna be able to create a visible chekbox on a black background.

thing is, you can't have a visable checkbox on a black background, if what guruguru says is true.  unless of course you use some crazy whatdotcolouring to search for a black pixel before you initialize the background colour, and when it finds a black pixel it changes it to brightgreen or whatever.  but that's besides the point.  
regarding cls, you do the 
colourback (#) 
cls

before you draw any of those pictures that you say you want to keep on the screen, so it draws the pictures above the background.

Nope.

Well, I guess you can have a selection thingy on a black bg. Use buttons  :P . You can change the color of those  8)
