Re: How to change linux text area background color?

What do you mean by text area?  Do you mean the standard frame buffer; do you mean inside a terminal when you're running X; do you mean text areas in web pages?  More details please...

Just like change the text area color in notepad.exe
so i mean X11 and gnome.

do you mean inside a terminal when you're running X

No, i can change the color in gnome terminal.

But i can not change the color in openldev(or any other gtk apps)

I hate the default color(white),
want text background color as grey, without configure each apps color.

That would depend on your GTK theme. I suggest looking at gnome-looks.org and trying out some of the themes others have made.

Edit /your theme path/themename/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and change you wanted color

from
  base[NORMAL]      = "#ffffff"
to
  base[NORMAL]      = "#dddddd"
