Setting fonts attributes for StaticText in Window

I've been trying to set a font type, size and color for "StaticText" labels in a window.
I reached to set the font name, size and attribute but how do I set the StaticText background color?
The BackGroundColor$ doesn't seem to do anything here :-/
Code:NOMAINWIN
GRAPHICBOX #Side.GBx1,0,0,DisplayWidth,DisplayHeight
STYLEBITS #Side.GBx1,0,_WS_BORDER,0,0
STATICTEXT #Side.STx1," AAAAAAA",10,20,200,20
STATICTEXT #Side.STx2," BBBBBBB",10,60,200,20
[SIDE]
UpperLeftX = 0
UpperLeftY = 0
WindowWidth = DisplayWidth
WindowHeight = DisplayHeight
ForegroundColor$ = "red"
BackgroundColor$ = "blue"
OPEN "SIDE" FOR window_popup AS #Side
#Side "TRAPCLOSE [QuitSide]"
#Side "font tahoma 12 bold"
#Side.GBx1 "down; fill darkgreen"
#Side.GBx1 "when leftButtonDown [MouseLeftButton]"
WAIT
[QuitSide]
CLOSE #Side
END
[MouseLeftButton]
IF (MouseX < 10 AND MouseY < 10) THEN [QuitSide] 'clic on top left = QUIT
WAIT
Any idea?

The positioning of the BackgroundColor$ makes a difference; you need to set it before the STATICTEXT statement. This is an LBB extension; it allows you to set different background colors for different controls. It's called out in the LBB docs under New Features: "The background color of (for example) a STATICTEXT control may be selected independently of the background color of its parent window, by changing the value of the BackgroundColor$ variable in between".
Here is your program modified accordingly:
Code:NOMAINWIN
GRAPHICBOX #Side.GBx1,0,0,DisplayWidth,DisplayHeight
STYLEBITS #Side.GBx1,0,_WS_BORDER,0,0
BackgroundColor$ = "blue"
STATICTEXT #Side.STx1," AAAAAAA",10,20,200,20
STATICTEXT #Side.STx2," BBBBBBB",10,60,200,20
[SIDE]
UpperLeftX = 0
UpperLeftY = 0
WindowWidth = DisplayWidth
WindowHeight = DisplayHeight
BackgroundColor$ = "blue"
ForegroundColor$ = "red"
OPEN "SIDE" FOR window_popup AS #Side
#Side "TRAPCLOSE [QuitSide]"
#Side "font tahoma 12 bold"
#Side.GBx1 "down; fill darkgreen"
#Side.GBx1 "when leftButtonDown [MouseLeftButton]"
WAIT
[QuitSide]
CLOSE #Side
END
[MouseLeftButton]
IF (MouseX < 10 AND MouseY < 10) THEN [QuitSide] 'clic on top left = QUIT
WAIT
Richard.
