As a button, which shouldn't really be that hard, considering buttons are a
toolbar's specialty and . If you'd like to see an actual implementation, take a
look at the Find bar: Firefox (25+). A screenshot from the web:

Well, it's mostly superficial. Labels of checkboxes in toolbars right now don't
have the same size as button labels and that makes toolbars with both look
inconsistent. (I'll attach a screenshot.)

Secondly, it has to do with perceived target area. Because checkbox labels
aren't always actionable, the perceived target area may for some users be just
the check box and not its label. With a button, it's clear that the whole
button is actionable.
