Thanks that was very helpful. It turns out that there is a Magic Number, aka 10, that is used to position the Close Button and the Title Text text field. So I guess overriding the layoutChrome() method is my only option.

I had to override the layoutChrome() method and move things around in my component to get them in the right place. Hope that helps, -D
