Hi Otared,
Many thanks. Could you kindly open the pdf I sent as well? How does that look?
Here, on Windows 11, the bars do not appear on sumatra, adobe, or nitropdf.
Best wishes
Idris

Hi Idris,
Your code works fine on my machine (version 2023.09.26 18:19 LMTX on MacOS 11.7.10). I see both bars correctly.
Best regards: Otared

Dear gang,
The appears to be something wrong with the sidebar and marginrule mechanisms. MWE:
==============
% ConTeXt ver: 2023.09.26 18:19 LMTX
\setupmarginrule[1][rulecolor=darkred]
\definesidebar[Sidebar][rulethickness=0.28pt,distance=3pt,rulecolor=darkgreen]
\setupsidebar[rulecolor=darkgreen]
\starttext
\startmarginrule[1]
\input ward
\stopmarginrule
\blank
\startsidebar[Sidebar]
\input zapf
\stopsidebar
\stoptext
==============
In the output, either
i) the rules do not appear at all (most attempts); or
ii) the rules appear for a split-second then disappear (using sumatrapdf as the viewer, so the pdf updates on the fly).
Is is a bug?
A second question: Is either mechanism preferable over the other? That is: In LMTX, what is the best mechanism to use?
Thank you in advance for any guidance.
Best wishes
