Hello,
a half-philosophical question (not too relevant).
I was wondering: what color exactly is the "screen" (\framed[background=screen]{...})? Or is it a special effect maybe?
screen are gray scales, e.g. gray is defined as \definecolor[gray][s=.9] and backgroundscreen was a mechanism to change the s value without defining a new color value
I know that using it has long been deprecated, but I used it in many older documents as it was easiest to remember without having to think what shade of gray to use to make the highlights in document come out nice.
in this case it would be convient to add \definecolor[screen][s=.95]
Oh, thanks. I found it now. \setupscreens [\c!screen=0.95] I was just too blind to find it before.
(value taken from pack-rul.mkii) to colo-rgb
I was thinking about that as well. Having a "screen" color would be nice for those who got used to the old name. Mojca In the meantime I figured it out what has happened with the "screen" color on my display. TextMate uses Alt-Command-. for auto-completion of "\stopwhatevercommandhasbeenstarted" in ConTeXt (an extremely useful feature). But Mac uses Ctrl-Alt-Command-. to increase the contrast of display. So apparently I accidentally hit Ctrl several times without noticing or bothering (and without knowing how to switch back), but enough to make "95% white" disappear.
