Guys- I have what I THINK is a simple problem here. I'm calling a basic timer on login success, followed by setting up a couple handlers to refresh some data on a schedule.

I guess what i'm looking for is something like RowAlign.BOTTOM, but that doesn't seem to exist. Rows should have fixed heights and gap, so RowAlign.JUSTIFY_USING_GAP and RowAlign.JUSTIFY_USING_HEIGHT won't work for me. Any hints? ...
