How to change highlighting color in Java Swing TextArea? And also, change the beginning of text corresponding to the highlighting location

You can achieve this, though not directly, since you have to save the reference to the Highlight that you had added to the said line, hence you have to traverse through all the Highlights to remove the one you want, have a look at the program attached, might be this will help you to attain what you so desire :

}

Here is the OUTPUT :

I think that not accesible to change these methods for all JTextComponents in the case that is there used Highlighter, but is possible to change Foreground only

for example

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.DefaultHighlighter;

public class TextAreaLineHightLight {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        UIManager.put("TextArea.selectionBackground", Color.yellow);
        UIManager.put("TextArea.selectionForeground", Color.red);

        String string = "Lorem ipsum eum putant gubergren evertitur in, "
                + "no assueverit vituperatoribus eum. Ea cibo offendit vim, est et vivendum qualisque prodesset. "
                + "Vis doctus expetenda contentiones an, no ius mazim epicuri expetendis, "
                + "saperet salutandi forensibus ne usu. Ex fugit alterum usu. "
                + "His ignota cotidieque in, augue erroribus eam no.";
        JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(string);
        textArea.setLineWrap(true);
        textArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);
        JScrollPane textAreaScroll = new JScrollPane(textArea);
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        frame.add(textAreaScroll, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        frame.setSize(400, 300);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        String term = "qualisque prodesset. "
                + "Vis doctus expetenda contentiones an, no ius mazim epicuri expetendis";
        int termOffset = string.indexOf(term);
        Rectangle view = textArea.modelToView(termOffset);
        int startOffset = textArea.viewToModel(new Point(0, view.y));
        //int rowH = textArea.
        int endOffset = textArea.viewToModel(new Point(textArea.getSize().width, view.y));
        textArea.getHighlighter().addHighlight(startOffset, endOffset, new DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter(Color.YELLOW));
    }
}

with the same result for JTextPane

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;

public class TextPaneHighlighting extends JFrame {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private Highlighter.HighlightPainter cyanPainter;
    private Highlighter.HighlightPainter redPainter;

    public TextPaneHighlighting() {
        UIManager.put("TextPane.selectionBackground", Color.yellow);
        UIManager.put("TextPane.selectionForeground", Color.red);
        JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
        textPane.setText("one\ntwo\nthree\nfour\nfive\nsix\nseven\neight\n");
        JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(textPane);
        getContentPane().add(scrollPane);//  Highlight some text
        cyanPainter = new DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter(Color.cyan);
        redPainter = new DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter(Color.red);
        try {
            textPane.getHighlighter().addHighlight(0, 3, DefaultHighlighter.DefaultPainter);
            textPane.getHighlighter().addHighlight(8, 14, cyanPainter);
            textPane.getHighlighter().addHighlight(19, 24, redPainter);
        } catch (BadLocationException ble) {
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TextPaneHighlighting frame = new TextPaneHighlighting();
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setSize(300, 200);
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

To set the selection background color, use setSelectionColor (illustrated below but not used).

I don't really understand what you're saying with it always appears at the bottom of the window. I want to have it at the top but I am guessing (and I may be wrong here) that your textarea is in a scrollpane and that by highlighting the text it scrolls to the end of your selection, so I suggest to set the caret position after highlighting the text.

Here is a sample of what I understood. Let me know if this is not what you're looking for:

import java.awt.Color;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;
import javax.swing.text.DefaultHighlighter;

public class Test {
    public static void main(final String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    init();
                } catch (BadLocationException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

            }
        });
    }

    private static void init() throws BadLocationException {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        final JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
        JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(textArea);
        textArea.setText("Something. Something else.\nA second line\na third line"
                + "Blabla\nBlabla\nBlabla\nBlabla\nBlabla\nBlabla\nBlabla\n"
                + "Blabla\nBlabla\nBlabla\nBlabla\nBlabla\nBlabla\n");
        textArea.setSelectionColor(Color.RED);
        frame.add(pane);
        frame.setSize(300, 120);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        String turnToString = "Something else.\nA second line\na third line"
                + "Blabla\nBlabla\nBlabla\nBlabla\nBlabla";
        final int pos = textArea.getText().indexOf(turnToString);
        textArea.getHighlighter().addHighlight(pos,
                pos + turnToString.length(),
                new DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter(Color.yellow));
        textArea.scrollRectToVisible(new Rectangle(0, 0, pane.getViewport().getWidth(), pane.getViewport().getHeight()));
            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        textArea.setCaretPosition(pos);
                    }
            });
    }
}

To solve 2) Use modelToView to get point of the first selected row. Then use scrollRectToVisible using the Point (NOTE: height of the rectangle must be your viewport height).
