You basically just mean changing the entire background colour of a JTextArea?

Check this out:

java

import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import java.awt.Color;

public class DIC extends JFrame {
	JTextArea text = new JTextArea();
	public DIC() {
		this.getContentPane().add(text); // add the JTextArea to our JFrame
		this.text.setBackground(Color.BLACK); // it's as simple as this one line
		this.text.setForeground(Color.WHITE); // set the text colour so it's visible
		this.setSize(500,500); // adjust the size of our JFrame
		this.setVisible(true); // display our JFrame
	}

	public static void  main(String arg[]) {
		DIC application = new DIC();
		
	}
}

Hope this helps
