How do I get horizontal buttons? [fixed]

I use ShowXrpess for my DJ gigs for uplights, wash, etc. As I add more fixtures, I add more buttons for my steps scenes. The buttons stack vertically, the more I add the more narrow each button gets, to the point I have to have tiny font to read my labels. I can't get the buttons to show horizontally and be able to read my labels. I see in other videos online that they are horizontal like I want, but nobody explains how to do that, like it should be automatic. Tried various button settings, adding/deleting buttons and pages, starting new light show, etc. Just updated to 9.1.9 and same thing. Please help, it is something simple right? What am i missing?

If I'm not misunderstanding what you are looking for, have you tried right-clicking a button and then "Move Button"? If you move it with the arrows that should appear on the screen you will get horizontal buttons as well:


Hope it helps!

I got it, thanks. When I only had three or four buttons and then tried the UP/DOWN arrows to move it, nothing moved. Turns out you need to move all of the buttons to the left (or right) for them to stack horizontally. Then they can be manipulated further. Thanks again!
