Why not have a Development menu in all of you projects that have little things like this? For instance I created a Center Window handler and put it into my Development menu. When I launch I check the environment and remove the development menu if it's not "development".

One gets a 2 pixel blank area inside the group. If you set the bottom of the gropu to the bottom o the card… you still get a 2 pixel transparent area underneath the group… Setting a background object like a graphic to the exact same dimensions and rect of the group… they don't match.
