Summary

Currently, buttons with an icon and label has its label centered, and buttons without an icon has left adjusted labels. For an example of this compare the "Create" and "Tools" tabs in the tool panel.

This patch makes both cases left adjusted since that makes them easier to read at a glance

In some cases I agree that this removes clutter an looks better. But there are also *some* cases in which this looks not so nice, e.g. Properties Editor->Particle Context->New button. However this is the only case I found on a quick search, and we could even remove it since it's there twice :S
@venomgfx, @Jonathan Williamson (carter2422), @Paweł Łyczkowski (plyczkowski), your opinion?

Both buttons with and without icon is now has left aligned labels in the toolbar. The buttons in the physics tab is still centered.

Hi Tobias,
Very minor changes like this are not really a bottleneck (we can make them at any time).

While its interesting to check on smaller changes as a way to get involved with development,
tweaking default behavior is often quite subjective and its not really clear that this is an improvement even.

So closing this patch, if you like to do UI development its best to find agreed on improvements first, or check with UI devs if there are areas which you might get started in.
