This is normal behaviour for layers but you can repeat it on every page with
\definelayer [bg:...] [state=repeat]
Thanks. There was a dark idea of this in the back of my brain.
In your case a simple overlay is the simpler solution to get repeated images on every page, i.e.
\defineoverlay [bg:hs2020-mond] [{\externalfigure[background.jpg][height=\paperheight]}]
or
\defineoverlay [bg:hs2020-mond] [\overlayfigure{background.jpg}]
Is this defining and setting in one command?
You can also pass a variable as argument in the second argument, e.g. in the following example I set the background image with the start of each new slide. \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \defineoverlay [SlideBackground] [\doifsomething {\structureuservariable{background}} {\externalfigure[\structureuservariable{background}][factor=max]}] \setuppapersize[S6] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=SlideBackground] %\setuppapersize[S6][S6,oversized] %\setupbackgrounds[paper][background=SlideBackground] %\setuplayout[location=middle] \definehead[Slide][chapter] \starttext \startSlide[title=Cow][background=cow] \dorecurse{3}{\dontleavehmode\page} \stopSlide \startSlide[title=Hacker][background=hacker] \dorecurse{3}{\dontleavehmode\page} \stopSlide \stoptext
Can I set the offset in this way, too?
It depends on your requirements, to get equal bleed on all four sides you can just increase the width/height of the image with the offset value. Wolfgang
