Pakaku In reply to ??? [2010-01-02 00:48:38 +0000 UTC]

When you position the text in the middle of the button, wouldn't it make more sense to use a line-height equal to the button height, instead of a padding-top?

LineBirgitte In reply to Pakaku [2010-01-02 00:54:22 +0000 UTC]

Depends on what you're used to I guess. I use lineheight sometimes, sometimes I use padding I like padding because (for me at least) I can position it so it looks like it's centered - because although the whole of the button is 38px, the shadow takes up 4 pixels of that. and with shadows and shit visually centered is sometimes different from technically centered

Pakaku In reply to LineBirgitte [2010-01-02 02:17:49 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, if you mentioned shadows at a later part, I missed that because I wanted to mention line-height
