>>>>>>Something I don't understand. Default form backcolor is 240,240,240. Default backcolor of a label is the same, 240,240,240. Why then if I leave the backstyle of label class as 1, the label background has a darker shade of gray?

The containers are transparent. And the default backcolor of a PageFrame is white (100, 100, 100). This is why I saw the dark gray background behind the labels.

You may however find it annoying that the Style values 3 and 4 aren't available for Checkboxes and Option button
