Are there any good conventions for displaying a "partially selected

I've seen a number of conventions in use, including completely
filled, partly filled, and empty boxes for 1, 2 and 3 respectively as

for 2 although on Windows the latter might lead to confusion with the
tree collapse and expansion widgets (Omni uses a disclosure triangle
for tree expansion and collapse).
