Text and Images

New fields have been added to the list of properties which allow the user to define exactly where they would like the text and image to be positioned within the button.

Image Alignment and Text Alignment both allow the user to define which corner of the button they would like to position the item. This is done by selecting the drop down button which produces a selection of buttons that can be used to position the text or image. In the example below you can see that the button on the left, in the middle of the 3 has been pressed, which shows in the properties dialog as “Middle Left”.

You can also define the relation of the text to the image using the drop down in the “Text to Image Relation”. Options available are:

Overlay - As you would image, places the text directly over the image.
