Try this: Make a button 128 pixels square. Give it a big icon (I used 
803). Then:

set the margins of btn 1 to 40
set the topmargin of btn 1 to 60
set the textcolor of btn 1 to "blue"
set the textstyle of btn 1 to "bold"
set the textsize of btn 1 to 20

On my Mac, I get a blue label over the picture (not behind it) and the 
icon is vertically centered (well, close. Play with the numbers.)
