This defines an "overlay" that is placed under the whole text area.
Thus, IMO, not the thing you want get.

As far as i understand details.pdf (following is untested) it
should work with:

\definetextbackground[TextBG]
	[backgroundcolor=darkgreen,
	 backgroundoffset=.25cm,
	 offset=.5cm,
	 frame=off,
	 location=paragraph,
	 color=white]

\starttextbackground[TextBG]
Some Text.
\stoptextbackground
