Hi, Daniela,
hopefully i don't missunderstood you like in your "grade3" problem, 
where i thought you want manipulate the appearance of a label for a 
"ready to use" img via type-file.

Ok, back to the actual problem. First time i started with creating my 
own icons i saw also this effect you described. First i thought, that 
may be the text ist set to right upper corner of the maximum icon size 
which is allowed. Using a smaller icon i moved it as far possible to 
this corner. Unfortunately the text still was drawn to far away from the 
icon. I always had the impression that there is a fixed distance for the 
text no matter what size the custom icon has and where it is positioned 
in the 32x32 area.
Sorry until yet i don't read about a solution for it.

Gert
