Hi,

Is it possible somehow to set background colors for text labels?

You should probably investigate "background_group" on the Label API page:

http://pyglet.org/doc/api/pyglet.text.Label-class.html

Haven't used it myself, but it sure looks like what you're looking for.

"background_group" is still a mystery to me. I've found a way to set style:

label.set_style('background_color', palette.background)

That looks like a nicer way to do it.  Was that documented somewhere, or did you find it in the source?

Both. Traced ancestry of Label and then found it in
http://www.pyglet.org/doc/programming_guide/formatted_text.html

Of course it will be better to have a dedicate chapter about styling text.
