IconGravity vs Margins in Buttons

[Randy Hengst]

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the response… I’ve messed with the margin settings. For example, 0,12,0,0 does move the text down realtive to the top of the button, but it also moves the icon down… I really need to just adjust the text…. I’d like to be able to set something like “textHeight” in a field for buttons.

be well,
randy
