Paul wins!   Sheesh, why didn't I think of that. Change backgroundcolor of the 
button, iconGravity to top, adjust bottom margin accordingly, text-align center

But if you do need text for any reason, you can fudge it by putting returns 
before the text label to move it down, or after to move it up, and of course as 
already pointed out, use textAlign for Left, Centre or right.

Tested on a Mac (IDE & SA) only, no idea if this works on Win or Linux, not 
expected to work on Mobile and I doubt that it works with HTML5.

Position the Label/Name of a Button

[Richmond via use-livecode]

"This is such a basic feature I would thought it was introduced in LC 2."

Well, um, yes . . .

I suspect that quite a lot of us have things that we think of as basic 
features,

and I suspect they are all different.

I'm not sure how essential being able to put a button's label in the 
bottom right-hand
corner is, especially as that can easily be faked by using an image as a 
button.

True, setting iconGravity does place the loc of the icon within the boundaries+ 
margins of the button.

But also implied it discretionary placement of the label/name (if showName  is true) . 
But I can't find any way but "centered".. What am I missing? This is such a

Well, that'll push your button name/label right or left, but ti won't
allow you to place it in all the places where you can position an icon.

did you take a look at the "Text" tab in the inspector for your button and set the 
textalign to something else than "center" (default)? :-)

Well, you can fiddle around with topMargin and bottomMargin, but that 
also affects

icon positions.
