iconTextButton question

Hi, 
so in Linux I'm trying to create a colored icontextbutton i can drag and resize and assign an imageoverlay to... I know you cant use the bgc label so I'm using an image which made big so you can resize it and not run out of image... If I assign the iol to it though it shows up in the center of the whole image and not the part of the image that is visible.  Is there a way to make the -iol show up at the top of the image instead of the dead center?  Thanks....
