Why not just a StringMorph with correct background? That doesn't look possible with the current implementation. It just draws the string with no background: StringMorph>>#drawOn: aCanvas ... "super drawOn: aCanvas. <- This line doesn't exist" aCanvas drawString: contents in: bnd font: self fontToUse color: color.
From the "... color: color" above, it looks like StringMorph is hijacking the instVar it inherited from Morph, which usually means background color, to use for the text color.
If you hack drawOn: to ... self color: Color white. super drawOn: aCanvas. aCanvas drawString: contents in: bnd font: self fontToUse color: Color black. you get the halo label you're looking for but of course break everything else.
So I think that if we want StringMorphs to have backgrounds, we have to add a textColor instVar, initialize color to Color transparent, and rewrite all color assignments in StringMorph to set textColor.
In short: not for 3.0.
