Extjs checkbox boxLabel color not changing

Question

I have a checkbox along with a boxLabel and a textarea as shown below:

xtype: 'container',
items: [{
    {
      xtype: 'textarea',
      scrollY: true,
      screenX: true,
      height: 130,
      minHeight: 80,
      top: 10,
      width: 650,
      id: 'testDisplay',
      name: 'testDisplay',
      itemId: 'testDisplay',
      bind: {
         value: some text
      },
      listeners: {
         afterrender: function(cmp) {
            textAreaComp = me.down('#testDisplay');
            textAreaComp.setValue(someInfo);
            const myCheckBox = this.up('container').getComponent('testDisplayChkbox');
            this.el.down('textarea').dom.onscroll = function () {
               if (this.scrollHeight <= (this.scrollTop + this.offsetHeight)) {
                   myCheckBox.setDisabled(false);
                   myCheckBox.el.setStyle('color',red);
               }
            };
         }
      },
    },
    {
        xtype: 'checkboxfield',
        name: 'testDisplayChkbox',
        id: 'testDisplayChkbox',
        itemId: 'testDisplayChkbox',
        checked: false,
        boxLabel: someLabel,
    }
]

I am looking to get the outline of the checkbox and the text color of the boxLabel to change between two colors based when the text area is scrolled to the bottom. I have tried to use cls as well as setting the color dynamically as shown above but cannot get to change the colors of either the checkbox or the boxLabel. Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

In ExtJS a checkbox consists of more elements, including icon, box label etc. You can access these parts from the checkbox and use applyStyles to add extra styling. You can set colour to red initially, and then green when scrolled to bottom with the following code, and check out my updated fiddle.

The code below is for ExtJS 4.2.1.

Ext.application({
    name: 'Fiddle',
    launch: function () {
        Ext.create('Ext.container.Container', {
            renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
            layout: {
                type: 'vbox',
                align: 'stretch'
            },
            width: 500,
            items: [{
                xtype: 'textareafield',
                flex: 1,
                value: 'Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo.

                afterRender: function () {
                    const myCheckBox = this.up('container').getComponent('myCheckBox');
                    this.el.down('textarea').dom.onscroll = function () {
                        if (this.scrollHeight <= (this.scrollTop + this.offsetHeight)) {
                            myCheckBox.setDisabled(false);
                            myCheckBox.boxLabelEl.applyStyles({
                                color: 'green'
                            });
                        }
                    };
                }
            }, {
                xtype: 'checkboxfield',
                itemId: 'myCheckBox',
                boxLabel: 'Lorem ipsum',
                checked: false,
                disabled: true,
                afterRender: function () {
                    this.boxLabelEl.applyStyles({
                        color: 'red'
                    });
                }
            }]
        });

    }
});
