Poor GUI on screen/elevator

I added a ninth floor to my elevator system. The layout is less than desirable.

  • The topmost floor is on its own in the right column; it should be on the left and the lower-most floor on the right. (Ideally, there'd be an option to have the buttons split evenly between the columns, with the uppermost floors on the left and the lowermost floors on the right.)
  • The click areas extend across the screen for the buttons in the left column that do not have a neighbor in the right column.
  • The buttons are flush top-to-bottom, but are not flush left-to-right.
  • The text extends outside the button boundary.

Real-world elevators generally lay their buttons out like this:

9
7 8
5 6
3 4
1 2

Would you be okay with that layout?

commented

What I'd really like is to be able to extend the display to another screen.

But, barring that, your suggestion looks better than how it is now.

But what is 1? Is 1 the bottom floor or the top floor?

In my example, 1 is the bottom floor.
