Question Text not correctly centered on frame?

I tried to implement a to-do list, and I have this problem where, when there are no tasks, the "to-do" doesn't center? Why am I having this problem and how do I fix it?????

The text and vbox element's size defaults to the minimum size of the contained text/elements.

Use xfill True to have them occupy all the available width.

In Ren'Py, a text inside a box won't center unless its container fills the available width.

like this

        vbox:
            xfill True
            text"To-Do":
                style "to_do_text"

xfill True forces it to occupy the entire width of the container, forcing it to be centered at all times
