CSS vertical-align is not implemented, and StBoxLayout doesn't use the standard [xy]_align and [xy]_expand properties. Instead, it uses [xy]_align and [xy]_fill child properties, that you can set with .add(actor, { y_align: St.Align.MIDDLE }). Alternatively, you can use a regular StWidget and set a ClutterBoxLayout layout manager. That would honor the align and expand properties on the actor. > How can I vertically centre components?

See https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2013-February/msg00130.html for a discussion of implementing it in gtk+, but it'll take time before its copied to St as well.
