MenuButton can be  used to style Sidecommand Icon in GUI Builder. I have no idea of how you can add a command at the bottom of a side bar.

You may try setting the top margin of that command to device height minus ( - ) it's height (including it's top and bottom margin) only if its the only command on the side menu.

ok thanks.. styling works but i have some Commands placed on my sidemenu already.. i just want to add another command to the south of the form. do you know how i can achieve this? and is there anyway i can get Year from Picker?

        //set the picker type to date as follows

        Picker p = new Picker();   // or Picker p = findPickerYear();

        p.setType(Display.PICKER_TYPE_DATE);

        // get your year as follows

        String date = p.getDate() + "";

        String Year = date.substring(date.length() - 4, date.length());

Note that getting year should happen inside an Event Listener

Thanks also tried something like this and it works...
SimpleDateFormater sf = new SimpleDateFormat("y");
sf.format(picker.getDate()); ...

do you know how i can add a command to the south/buttom of sideMenu?
