TestStand UI Button Control - changing font/size/color

In the attached picture, I have a TestStand Label(top) and a LabVIEW Button (bottom).  I'd like the TestStand UI Label to look like the LabVIEW button.  Is this possibl?.  The TestStand version is easier to work with from the perspective of connecting to Application/Execution Managers.  I've tried to modify settings in the Property Browser, etc, but I can't seep to get a font size larger than 11.  I'd also like to move the text into the center.  
 
Do I need to use a TestStand UI Button Control instead?   Would this at all improve my options.  If I can't customize the TestStand controls as needed, would the LabVIEW Button work OK?  I really just want it to serve as an indicator of a couple of states.  So, I plan to be changing its text, and probably its color, based on some Thread.PostUIMessageEx sent from the process model.

The teststand label is an ActiveX control. RIght click on the control and select property browser. In the property browser set up the font like you want it and make sure that the font source is set to 0-FontSource_UseFontProperty. The reason that you are seeing this behavior is because the default source is set to use GUI font. This means that whatever  you have your front panel font set to is what it is going to be. Hope this helps.
