I thought buttons did show ... You have to size them smaller than they measure.

But the control bar also has a couple of link buttons over on the left. In the rest of the app, I have not yet had a need for absolute layout or constraints. For this scenario, the following seems to work: - a Canvas in the control bar, - set horizontalCenter="0" on the component that needs centering. - put the two link buttons in an HBox - set a minimum width on the panel, so the centered component and link buttons can't overlap. Does this seem like a good approach? As an aside, I'd love to have a setting so that components with text labels (like titles in panels, or link buttons) could shrink to small widths, and display a partial title with ellipses. Then the minimum width in the above example could be lower. Thanks in advance.
