Is there a way to have the label INSIDE a button image (as opposed to: LEFT, RIGHT, ABOVE or BELOW)?
No, not currently (except by creating a custom image with the text burned into it, of course).
We could probably add something (when there's time), although I wonder if it would need control over line wrapping, margins, etc., or the option to reduce font size automatically to make labels fit, or outline text to keep it readable? Depends if the aim is to make them fit in a particular space/frame within the image, or just overlay them.
Another similar idea, perhaps easier to implement, is to make an icon set of of the text you want displayed.
These days there are at least two good scripts available on the forum that make this easy to accomplish given you have the png icon files already made.
One could then use the dual image option of the Show Image box of the button to render a mouse hover action to the button. That effect would then show the desired text from the homemade text icon set.
Or one could just hire a graphic artist. There are few that frequent this forum.

I have a few pgn files already made, but have had no luck in finding the scripts you mention. Any idea what they were called (or even search terms I should use)?
If I can`t find the scripts, I may just create the images and use the dual-image option in Show Image, as you suggested.
Thx for the tips.. much appreciated!
ok, thx! I`ll prob just create some text/images.. as David suggests below.
The scripts to create icon sets are in the Forum Icons category.
You can also make icon sets by hand. It's just some simple XML plus the images in either standalone files or an image grid.

Image sets aren't needed; buttons can refer to external icons/images. But they will make startup a bit faster if you're actually using most of the images in the set, since they let everything be loaded at once.
I`ll give these a shot.. thank you so much!
Thank you!
