Centre a widget at the top of the screen

[Hilco]

I'm trying to center a widget at the top of the screen but I don't
seem to be able to. At least not without explicitly setting some CSS
on the widget's element.

public class MosaicView extends ViewImpl implements MosaicPage.View
{ // Using GWT-Platform 0.3
private final LayoutPanel panel;

@Inject
public MosaicView() {
// GWT-Mosaic 0.4.0-rc4
BorderLayout borderLayout = new BorderLayout();
panel = new LayoutPanel(borderLayout);
FillLayout fillLayout = new FillLayout();

fillLayout.setHorizontalAlignment(HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_CENTER);
LayoutPanel headerPanel = new LayoutPanel(fillLayout);
final Label header = new Label("HEADER");
headerPanel.add(header);
panel.add(headerPanel, new BorderLayoutData(Region.NORTH));
RootLayoutPanel.get().add(panel);
}

@Override
public Widget asWidget() {return panel;}
}

This puts "HEADER" in the top left corner of the screen, not in the
centre as I had expected. What am I doing wrong? Why is the
HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_CENTER ignored?

Does anyone know? Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug?

I am also struggling with centering content in a border layout.  

Try wrapping your widget in another BoxLayout Panel.

Then add the BoxLayout to the NORTH region of your BorderLayout.

I am doing something similar, and it seems to be ok.
