Button padding

[Dennis Rogers]

In creating a button I find I can only reduce the padding to a certain point. The code I'm using is:

Button btnname = new Button(itm.name);

Style nameStyle = btnname.getAllStyles();
RoundRectBorder roundBorder = RoundRectBorder.create().cornerRadius((float) 2);

nameStyle.setBorder(roundBorder);
nameStyle.setFgColor(0xffffff);
nameStyle.setBgColor(0);
nameStyle.setBgTransparency(64);

nameStyle.setPaddingUnit(UNIT_TYPE_PIXELS);
nameStyle.setPadding(Component.BOTTOM,20);
nameStyle.setPadding(Component.TOP,20);

The padding I'm observing is the distance between the edge of the text and the edge of the border. If try to set the padding below 20 there is no change.

RoundRectBorder has some intrinsic minimum size specifically calculated like this:

@Override
public int getMinimumHeight() {
     return Display.getInstance().convertToPixels(shadowSpread) + Display.getInstance().convertToPixels(cornerRadius) * 2;
}

@Override
public int getMinimumWidth() {
    return Display.getInstance().convertToPixels(shadowSpread) + Display.getInstance().convertToPixels(cornerRadius) * 2;
}

If you reduce the size of the shadowSpread to 0 it should reduce some of that additional padding.
