How do you set the button text? As its own frame?
Original source
```xml
<Button name="ACGMISideMenuTabBtnTemplate" virtual="true">
<Size>
<AbsDimension x="135" y="30"/>
</Size>
<NormalTexture>
<Color r="0.12" g="0.43" b="0.6" a="1.0" />
</NormalTexture>
<PushedTexture>
<Color r="0.12" g="0.43" b="0.6" a="1.0" />
</PushedTexture>
<DisabledTexture>
<Color r="0.12" g="0.43" b="0.6" a="1.0" />
</DisabledTexture>
<HighlightTexture>
<Color r="0.12" g="0.43" b="0.6" a="1.0" />
</HighlightTexture>
<Anchors>
<Anchor point="CENTER" />
</Anchors>
<Layers>
<Layer level="OVERLAY">
<FontString font="SystemFont_Med2" parentKey="Label" text="ButtonText">
<Color r="1.0" g="1.0." b="1.0" />
</FontString>
</Layer>
</Layers>
</Button>
```
And then I create the button with
```lua
local testButton = CreateFrame("Button", "TestName", mainFrame.SideMenuNav, "ACGMISideMenuTabBtnTemplate")
```

Yeah that won't work properly, the overlay strata is lower than the highlight strata

By using your own custom template you'll have to port over the same functionality from the base button templates

with using both stratas like you do now though, whenever you're not hovering, the text will be brighter/bolder

If I didn't keep the OVERLAY layer, the text wouldn't display when in normal state
