ha, got it :slightly_smiling_face:
```@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.

Yeah the default child gravity param is coming back

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

<@UT7PZ7V26> can you clarify what you mean?

You could do something like
```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`
