But this isnt in the API the background color only white.

This is not a bug. Please read the bugforum guidelines.

I suggest you inspect the element with firebug and you will figure it out quite fast

Yes i use firebug.
There is a css class on the textarea with the name: x-form-field AND x-form-textarea
ic created my own css class:
.textarea-readonly{
background: #B0C4DE;
color: #000000;
cursor: default !important;
}

i add it with textarea.addInputStyleName("input-readonly");

but its still white
When its not a bug, what is the right method name to change the background?

input-readonly != textarea-readonly

Also firebug will tell you exactly why it is not working.

sorry,
it is
textarea.addInputStyleName("textarea-readonly");

Yes firebug tells me that the other css classes say this:
.x-form-text, textarea.x-form-field {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
background-image:url("../images/default/form/text-bg.gif");
border-color:#B5B8C8;
}

so i tried out

textarea.removeInputStyleName("x-form-text");
textarea.removeInputStyleName("textarea.x-form-field");

but this changes nothing....
What method of the textarea removes default css classes or changes my background color?

So there is probably another rule that is higher and overrides yours.

You can either add the !important flag to your css, or change the rule to eb higher than the other. All this is basic css.
