Backgroundcolor of NSTextfield

I use a NSTextfield as a label. I try to change backgroundColor like this

let myLabel = NSTextField(labelWithString: "A Label")
myLabel.backgroundColor = NSColor.green

But it does not work. What´s going wrong?

You need to set drawsBackground of your NSTextField to true. This boolean controls whether the receiver’s cell draws its background color behind its text.

let myLabel = NSTextField(labelWithString: "A Label")
myLabel.drawsBackground = true
myLabel.backgroundColor = NSColor.green

From Apple Documentation:

In order to prevent inconsistent rendering, background color rendering is disabled for rounded-bezel text fields.
