Hi,
I would like to ask for help for either finding a fix or some clever workaround for the following problem.
If I use a TikZ picture as item symbol and additionally use background text, then the first symbol in itemize environment gets covered by the background. Here's an example:
\usemodule [tikz]
\definesymbol[1] [{\tikz\shade[shading=ball,ball color=blue] (0,0) circle (.2cm);}]
\definecolor [backcol] [s=1,a=1,t=0.1]
\starttext
\startframedtext[width=4cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=backcol] \startitemize \item one \item two \item three \stopitemize \stopframedtext
\stoptext
Workaround (though I have no idea why this should work).
Does it also work if you use the following?
\definecolor [backcol] [s=1,a=1,t=0.95]
Use
background={foreground,color}
I wanted to test background={color, foreground}, but wrote the above by mistake and it works!!!
While it works in the sense that it gives a consistent look, it doesn't really lead to the desired result, at least not for me. The reason for using background colour in my case was to make text "visible" on a dark background photo. It doesn't really help if the main text gets hidden behind the semi-transparent layer.
Unless you get different results than I do.
i suppose that tikz puts some pdf code in the output stream and this is likely to interfere with the way context deals with colors a solution is: {\red x\dontleavehmode\forcecolorhack\tikz\fill[color=blue] (0,0) circle (.2cm);x} the \forcecolorhack is, well, a hack that fools the optimizer and \dontleavehmode is needed to get tex in the right mode i have no time to look into the internals of tikz to see if a different trick is possible Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
