I have some questions, that won't be solved by the documentation.
1.) [This is solved, solution in 1]I would like to do
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{textpos}
\begin{document}
\begin{textblock}{\textwidth}(0,0)
Text of full paperwidth, doesn't matter, if i'd chose a4 to a0
\end{textblock}
\end{document}
but \textwidth doesn't work. My intention is: Defining a fixed block at fixed position of relative width, depending on the chosen paper-size. This leads to my 2nd question.
2.) Is there a way, to declare textblocks orientated on an anchor "top, right" instead of "top, left". Am I able to define anchors for textblock like: top=xx, right=xx. Or bottom=xx, left=xx?
3.) How to set a backgroundcolor to textbox?
4.) How to make the outer-text of textbox don't underlay the textbox? If I declare a Textbox as a heading-element, and inserting something outside of this, i'll achive the following image:
The blue bar shows the end of the textbox-environment. So if I do
\begin{textbox}
inner text
\end{textbox}
outer text
I would like to have the "outer text" just below the textbox, so that \clearpage and other commands will still work.

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{textpos}
\begin{document}
\begin{textblock*}{\textwidth}(0cm,0cm)
Text of full paperwidth, doesn't matter, if i'd chose a4 to a0
\end{textblock*}
\end{document}

Using the command below, defines the backgroundcolor of all Textboxes
\textblockcolour{hcolour i}
Credits to Jürgen for giving the hint to:
fcolourbox
This will be another solution for just one box.

To question 1)
RTFM: If you like to use absolute values, than you have to use the starred version.
To question 2)
I think with internal means of this package this is not possible. But an idea: One might put the contents of the textblock into a box, measure its height and change the vertical position parameter of the textblock accordingly. Should work, but I am not sure whether this is the most elegant way ...
To question 3)
\textblockcolor
is of course the canonical solution. [\fcolorbox
is another solution which works independent of this package. It may lead to problems with the correct adjustment inside of textblocks.]
