The meaning of halign has changed between Text and Label. In Label, the halign always specifies the anchor position on the label (either left edge, right edge, or center), and the x coordinate gives the position of the anchor in the window. In Text the meanings of both of these properties were overloaded depending on whether or not width was set. To center a label in a window requires you to update it's x position in the window resize handler (whereas with Text this wasn't necessarily needed). > Another quirk about the Label instantiation is that you can't set > multiline=True when the label is created because the __init__ method > doesn't provide a width argument and it throws an error without it. So Thanks, I'll look into that (probably by adding a width argument to the constructor). > I have to create the Label, then set the witdth and then the multiline > attribute is set to True.

Something like label.document.set_style(0, len(label.text), dict(halign='center')) (that is, set the halign style on the document). Apparently I forgot to add more usable public interfaces for this to Label, so I'll look into this soon.
