It's not clear to me how the code here is organized -- the only content I see being delivered which addresses "readonly" has to do with file names.
Looking at plausible css selectors for either a background-color or a reference point for manipulating either an inline style or a class which carries the background color, I see: #jresizeb .CodeMirror .CodeMirror-scroll .CodeMirror-lines And currently nothing seems to carry any background color, so there should be no obstacles to setting it wherever you feel is appropriate. The various CodeMirror classes have slightly different geometries (I've listed them from largest to smallest), though for background color I do not see any difference between .CodeMirror and .CodeMirror-scroll I also saw a .cm-s-default at the same level as .CodeMirror-scroll but .cm-s-default is probably a conditional class -- something that's only used occasionally. I noticed that there's a javascript object on the page that's named cm which has a setLineClass method, but http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8252185/syntax-higlight-in-codemirror suggests that that's for manipulating individual lines. There was also a setOption but I did not see anything that suggests it was designed for this kind of thing. As an aside, I've been using jQuery a lot for client side manipulation of the document. As far as I know, jQuery has nothing to do with the j programming language, but ironically it does bring javascript slightly closer to a "j-ish" computational style. In other words, it includes a variety of concessions towards data-driven code. (I've also been using require, underscore and backbone -- all various javascript utilities with various advantages and constraints... In some ways these kinds of things seem like overkill for something like jhs, but when I look at the complexity of the jhs code I'm not so sure.) Anyways, with jquery you could do something like this: $('.CodeMirror').css('background-color', 'lightblue') or $('.CodeMirror').css('background-color', 'white') (For example...)
