ha, got it 🙂
Copy code
@Composable
fun DateSeparator(date: Date) {
    Stack() {
        Align(Alignment.Center) {
            Divider(color = Color.Gray, height = 2.dp)
        }
        Align(Alignment.Center) {
            Surface(color=Color.White) {
                Text("Yesterday", modifier = LayoutPadding(10.dp))
            }
        }
    }
}

Which version of Compose are you using? That code works for me:
Also 
Center
is an abbreviation for 
Align(Center)

I think you should be using modifiers instead of positioning containers like that. Less nesting that way. 
LayoutGravity.Center
works. I also think stack/row/column are missing a 
gravity
param. It makes sense to me to set all children's alignment then let each child set their own if they want.

Nice, so far i think alignment is the most confusing aspect of Compose.
Super cool to see the work you guys are doing on Compose. I think it's going to have a massive impact on Android development

You could do something like
Copy code
Stack {
  Divider(modifier = LayoutGravity.Center, ...)
  Surface(modifier = LayoutGravity.Center, ...) {
    Text(...)
  }
}
I find this way cleaner that having to nest each child in a 
Center
or 
Align
