I was making Windows Phone like tiles.

I was making Windows Phone like tiles. The icons with background are looking good but the text is creating little problem. I need the text to be in bottom left corner. The options of ‘Label position’ are not sufficient. How to get the text at bottom left? This icon label needs more options and customization.

  1. What about box settings ? There are alignement switches here that may fit your need.

    Right, with more than 50 options in 7 tabs, shortcuts needs more options and customization 😉

    Pierre Hébert I added icon, its text needs to be in bottom left. The ‘box’ doesn’t provide any option to align text only. It aligns whole content which shifts the icon also. The icon should be in centre but the label/text needs to be shifted

  3. Maybe use two items, one for the icon and another one for the text ? It may be easier to manipulate two simple objects, unless you have a lot of items of course.

  4. I am not 100% sure of what you want to achieve because I haven’t had a windows phone in hands since years.

  5. Ow, and label position bottom

  6. Pierre Hébert​ for your way… For this, we need new function… Group and ungroup items. For easy move items to different position.

    The text alignment for icons. I know using multi objects we can do. But such hacks are too much when one needs to design complete page with tiles

  8. Now I see the problem!

    Work-around : lots of spaces at the end of the label. With hor-align center.

    I was able to get close to this configuration by using lots of spaces in label and vertical alignment bottom

    Only problem lots of hit and trial to get good position
