Alas I am still mystified as to how setting -justify on the style gets propogated down to configure the Button.label element! Even after reading the tutorial :-) kind regards Julian

So, when you discovered that the label element has a -justify (or a -anchor) option, the way to change it is through the style command. So, if you change the TButton style, it will affect all buttons (since the TButton is the default button style). A better way to do it, is through creating a new style. Naming the new style "Anything".TButton, means "inherit" everything from TButton, so My.TButton has all the properties from TButton, but with different -justify option for all elements that support it.
