I don't think there is a UI specific forum and the question is language agnostic...
I have a UI with headers (days of the week) and checkbox/radiobox under each day of the week.
Should I left align the checkbox/radio box with the header ?
or center-align ?
and columns will all be same width in the real thing.
(x for check box, o and O for radio box )

Center align looks more appealing.

I'd be inclined to center-align. And if possible, expand the hit-test area for the inputs to fill the cells.

For me center align gives the best look and feel.

I dont see the crossfires 
For me a checkbox columns looks better in center alignment. But I think that is a very personal taste thing.

Crap I need some coffee. I agree with that in regards to check-boxes, just not plain text. I might nuke my post.

Don't worry

Judging on some of the questions I've seen in QA recently, you should have multiple headers and align all the checkboxes in the first column.

I the entries have more or less the same length, I would go for centering.
If one cell can have one letter and the other a long word... I would go for left

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

My vote is for centering. I'd also abbreviate the day names. The problem I've seen with left align is mostly when the column to the left is numeric (right-aligned) and there's not enough visual separation. I also prefer centered with very short (yes/no, on/off) text values.

If you follow this style guide insofar as the alignment goes you'll be ok...

Just don't forget to do the opposite for RTL languages for cells that aren't form controls.

A real toe-tapper.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?
