Check this code snippet. It doesn't have to be that compicated.

public final class CenterScreen extends MainScreen {
    public CenterScreen() {        
        LabelField lbl1 = new LabelField("First and Foremost", Field.FIELD_HCENTER);
        lbl1.setBorder(BorderFactory.createRoundedBorder(new XYEdges(10, 10, 10, 10),
            Color.BLUE, Border.STYLE_SOLID));

        LabelField lbl2 = new LabelField("Second", Field.FIELD_HCENTER);
        lbl2.setBorder(BorderFactory.createRoundedBorder(new XYEdges(10, 10, 10, 10),
            Color.RED, Border.STYLE_SOLID));

        LabelField lbl3 = new LabelField("Last but not least", Field.FIELD_HCENTER);
        lbl3.setBorder(BorderFactory.createRoundedBorder(new XYEdges(10, 10, 10, 10),
            Color.GREEN, Border.STYLE_SOLID));

        VerticalFieldManager vfm = new VerticalFieldManager(Field.USE_ALL_WIDTH);        
        vfm.add(lbl1);
        vfm.add(lbl2);
        vfm.add(lbl3);
        add(vfm);    
    }
}
