skin button label appearing on top of icon

Post by nsemple »

I am modifying a skin (Flare version 4.0). When I enter text for a toolbar button label, and then generate the Help, the label appears on top of the toolbar icon. For example, the label "Print" overlays the Print toolbar icon that I have rather than beneath the icon.

I would like it to appear beneath the icon or to the side of it. Does anyone know how to set the placement of the label? There does not seem to be a setting for this when I open the skin editor.

FYI - I ended up requesting information on this issue from Flare Tech Support. They said that you cannot position the label text for a toolbar icon. If you provide a label in version 4.0, it will appear on top of the icon image. Their suggested workaround is to create an icon image that has label text as part of the image...A joy if you translate your Help content into multiple languages :)

Hopefully, this lacking functionality will be addressed in an upcoming release.
