Is there a way to have more control over the perspective gauge text properties? In particular it is annoying that it is not centered in the gauge out of the box: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/a/6a6c3f012a5f447661814fe453c3d9260913fe53.png) Thanks, Nick ---

I noticed this too, i just created my own label and hid the one that comes with the gauge. ---

The expectation however is that I should not have to work around stock components. I should be able to use them as is especially in this case where I am not trying to achieve anything fancy. I just want the label to be centered. ---

i could not find a way to do it, maybe through some css? ---

Well, that’s silly. There’s no way to adjust that at the moment, unfortunately. We’ll make a ticket and fix this asap. Sorry about that. ---

Has this been fixed yet? I'm looking to place the units below the value. ---

@Scott_Bates the addition of the ability to change the label position is there. If you want to put the label on the second line you can do it like this. **Add this style value** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/3/33ed14b1624d387c1c272b2a4fe405ddcc738855.png) **Add this Binding to the label units** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/0/f000849e89aeec96f84dd378b7c23ae5e2e70249.png) **Use the Y Offset to Move the Text down** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/0/a01e65cf99e11d0d92e86c15aaad231a9f5966bf.png) **The Result** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/b/ab42844053a4cf8d3d3e2748d71d95bd989aa8ef.png) Cheers, Nick ---

Perfect, thank you. Apologies for the intermediate questions, however could you also tell me if there is a way to remove the excess padding around the simple gauge? I'd like to be able to remove the padding at all sides. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/f/cf9fe808f9767f952bc9a0cfcb6e8ba08d211502.png)
