but I cannot place a blue thing in the background...I have some overlay with a blue strip I wan to put in the background and it won't come up, another overlay in the normal text area goes fine...
You might think of posting the not-working file, so we could see what is going wrong.
this morning some message saying something about the background was issued but I deleted it (-gasp-)
You know about URL:news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context?
when new distributions come into place...is there anything like an standard (automatic) battery of tests (making some documents...or so...) which is performed?
Good question. I have problems generating the manual documentation once in a while, so I guess these aren't used for the test :-) Patrick -- texshow-web: http://members.ping.de:8061 ConTeXt wiki: http://members.ping.de:8062
