Button Alignment & Diagonal Strikethrough Improvements Update

Hi there,

We're excited to announce two significant improvements to text handling in our generation system:

What's New?

1. Improved Button Text Vertical Alignment

  • Issue Resolved: Our previous alignment algorithm didn't properly account for typographic variations that affect visual centering
  • Dynamic Alignment: The new system now intelligently adjusts vertical centering based on: Capital letters and their increased height Descenders in lowercase letters (g, j, p, q, y) that extend below the baseline Mixed case text that previously created optical alignment issues Font-specific characteristics that affect the perceived center point
  • Optical vs. Mathematical Centering: We've implemented optical centering rather than pure mathematical centering, ensuring text appears properly balanced to the human eye

Note: This improvement applies to the generation system only, not in the Design Builder

2. Enhanced Diagonal Strikethrough

  • Continuous Strikethrough: Diagonal strikethrough lines now flow smoothly across text without interruption
  • Consistent Across Text Styles: Works seamlessly across: Different font sizes in the same text block Superscript and subscript text Mixed text decorations Color-split text

Why You'll Love It

  • Professional-looking buttons with text that appears properly centered regardless of character composition
  • No more manual adjustments needed for buttons with descenders or all-caps text
  • Cleaner, more consistent strikethrough effects for price comparisons and promotions
  • Improved visual coherence in your designs

These improvements are live now for all users in the generation system. We're continuously working to refine text handling to give you the most professional results possible.

As always, we appreciate your feedback as we continue to enhance your design experience!

Happy designing! 🎨
