Sometimes, it takes a while for a solution... and mebby a small break to get away and get a new perspective.
I began reworking how the text system for the icon list box feature worked and displayed the text. AND, I did it with much success. I blew up the window so you can see it more clearly. But I now have the text rendered cleanly and with a nice shadow effect (which MAY be disabled).
The system will increase the vertical spacing if the text it placed too far below, as can be seen in this example. I do plan to institute text justification, so there will be left/center/right options. But admittedly, text may become 'scrunchy' if you place TOO MUCH text in an icon window. Well, that's assuming you don't increase the actual spacing between icons yourself when defining them.
Technically, there is no ICON BOX widget in any Windows OS system that I have seen. But it is a nice touch, eh?
Outline as well as Shadow (and color options therein) will be available ... methinks.
