How can I change the Colour of a full Line? I had ever used this code, but its very slow.

function setLineColor(text)
local lccou = string.len(text)
write(text)
local looplc = true
while looplc == true do
  write(" ")
  lccou = lccou + 1
  if lccou == 51 then
    looplc = nil
    lccou = nil
  end
end
print("")
end

What do you want to achieve?
A empty line with a specific color?

function setLineColor(y, col)
  term.setCursorPos(1, y)
  term.setBackgroundColor(col)
  term.clearLine()
end

Or an empty line form x1 to x2?

function setLineColor(x1, x2, y, col)
  paintutils.drawFilledBox(x1, y, x2, y, col)
end

Or what do you mean?

Just attach some spaces to the end of the text so that it writes to the edge of the screen. Something like this:

function writelineInColor( text, color )
  term.setBackgroundColor( color )
  term.write( text .. string.rep( ' ', term.getSize() - #text ) )
end

I had tested this in Mynaptic: This code only overitete line 2. Any other line is not suportet.

You have to set the cursor position before
