Just trial and error. You gotta balance the quick launch button margins and the taskbar button margins until you are blue in the face.

I THINK the system is 24 or 27 pixels for the text(normal sized text),then subtract that from your taskbar graphic size and divide it up in a way that places the text in the center of your button....does that make sense? 
Cover your bases by making quick launch and systray margins the same.

I do....works better that way. I was thinking it may be graphic size minus text size = content margin thingers. Or something like that, but it didnt work out quite right.

in the start menu program areas, once you set it to use a mouseover image, the mouseover font color doesnt work anymore, it just stays the normal font color... is there a workaround for this?

I gave up a long time ago even trying. One idea though would be too have 2 different sized fonts to give the mouse over effect of zooming. Guess I will have to give it a try. Some skins would benefit immensely by being able to have a mouseover image and a custom font. hint hint. Oh crap, my capital h's aren't working here either. See> whaaaaaaaaa

Other than the user name I haven't been able to get a custom font to work (other than changing the font color)
