The code below will change the font color in a Label just fine. Is there a similar option for changing the background color of the Label with having to Theme it? I tried “bg_color” instead of “font_color”, but that didn’t seem to work.

choice_path = government_path + choicenames[0] + skillnames[0] + 'Label'
temp_node = get_node(choice_path).add_color_override("font_color", Color(1,0,0,1))

Something like this maybe?

var new_sb = StyleBoxFlat.new()
new_sb.bg_color = Color.red
$Label.add_stylebox_override("normal", new_sb)

works! Thank you

Not sure if anything changed with Godot 4.3 but here I am getting the error

Invalid call. Nonexistent function 'add_stylebox_override' in base 'Label'.

In the end I had to add a Theme override to the label and then use below code:

var stylebox = %LabelVehicleMatch.get_theme_stylebox('normal').duplicate()
stylebox.bg_color = Color.REBECCA_PURPLE
%LabelVehicleMatch.add_theme_stylebox_override("normal", stylebox)
