I use a Green / Gray 8x8 button to display on or off status where user choice is not considered.  This has worked well for over 8 years and there's never a point of confusion on the user's end.

I've considered making images of the checkbox in its checked and unchecked state, disabling the checkbox and assigning the appropriate image as its disabled icon depending on the checkbox's state but wondering if there's a more straightforward way to do this.
