I want the checkbox, when ticked, to show up as completely as a part of a button on a separate screen, how do I do that?

I’m not sure what you mean by “as completely as a part of a button” but you can save the checkbox value (true or false) in an app variable or stored variable and then set the checkbox’s value on the other screen to that variable.

If you include a sketch or image or what you mean, I might be able to give you more specific advice.

It sounds like you want to adjust the buttons text based on whether or not a checkbox on a different screen is checked or unchecked?

Set an app variable up to track the true/false value of the checkbox.  
Set the value of this variable each time the checkbox value changes.

On the screen with the button, using a ‘When screen opens’ block, use an if statement to check the value of the app variable and assign the text accordingly.

Here is an example
