colored text in buttons

Can the text within a button have variable font size and color? For example if I wanted to have a button that says SETTINGS on the top line and then (Be careful!) in a smaller font below the word SETTINGS can this be done?

You can't have different Font Sizes and colors in a Button. What you can do is use a label underneath the text of the button.

Here are the steps involved:
1 - Add the button and enter the Caption.
2 - Press Ctrl + Enter to go to a second line in the Button and enter a space.
3 - Add a Label beneath the Button Caption and add your Caption to the Label.
4 - Make sure you associate the Label with the Button.

See screenshot below for an example.

Or you can put a picture (.jpg, .bmp) on a button. The picture can have text in the style you want, or whatever content that can be put on a JPG or BMP.

Use some WizHook magic!
