Hello.
How can I in Java :
set the rgb color (background color - what command) of JTextArea, i.e.
(I want light-yellow, i.e).

Thanks :)

The Java API documentation would be a nice place to start looking.

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JTextArea.html

Load the page, then bring up the search function of your browser, and
search for the text "background".

there is setBackground - that's I know,
but I am looking for the function which does the conversion of RGB -> color.

Thanks :)

setBackground wants a Color object. See the docs on the Color class
for the various ways to create one. See

The Color constructors do this conversion, for example:
Color background = new Color(255, 255, 128);
yourTextArea.setBackground(background);
