# [✓] Issue with label backgrounds in Graphics3D

GROUPS:
 Hans Milton 2 Votes A new, undesired, "feature" in MMA 11.1 is that labels in Graphics3D seems to always be rendered against a white background. These screenshots below are from a recent Demonstration by Izidor HafnerMMA 10.4MMA 11.1

 Seems fine to me on In[1]:= $Version Out[1]= "11.1.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (March 13, 2017)" can you post actual minimal code and system info? Answer 3 months ago  Hans Milton 1 Vote Here is a code example spherePlot = Graphics3D[{ RGBColor[0, 0.74, 0.91], Opacity[0.7], Sphere[{0, 0, 0}, 0.998] }]; labelPlot = Graphics3D[ Style[{ Text["A", {Cos[60 \[Degree]], 0, Sin[60 \[Degree]]}], Text["B", {Cos[45 \[Degree]], Sin[-45 \[Degree]], 0}] }, "Panel", 20, Background -> None ] ]; Show[ spherePlot, labelPlot, Boxed -> False ] Comparision (dont have 11.0.1 installed anymore): In[4]:=$Version Out[4]= "10.4.1 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (April 11, 2016)"  In[1]:= \$Version Out[1]= "11.1.0 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (March 13, 2017)" Edit: If the Opacity directive is removed, or set to 1, the labels renders as expected

 Works fine for me in v11.1 on mac. Might be a Windows issue. Try setting an explicit background option for Text and Style.

 Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we are looking into this.
 Just for completeness: Works fine on "11.1.0 for Linux x86 (64-bit) (March 13, 2017)".
