Hey,
my problem is that the Alignment Properties I set in the Bedrock View file are not being paid attention from the Objects.
For example:
I set the Alignment of a Label Object to "Center", but it still is drawn on the very left of the screen.

BootupLabel, BootupButtonSettings, BootupButtonExit and BootupCopyright are drawn on the left of the screen although I set their Alignments to "Center".

This is my complete main.view file:

And this is the part where the problematic objects are defined:

Alignment is the alignment of the text of labels and buttons, not the position of them on the screen. The only way I can think of to align objects to the center is make their position '50%, -half of the object's width'.

EDIT: you'll probably also want to make the width or height of certain objects "100%", rather than 51.
