Hi all,
I am a little bit confused as I never had this problem, although I often use backgrounds and layers.
\definelayer[bg:hs2020-mond] [x=0, y=0, width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight]
\setlayer[bg:hs2020-mond] [x=0mm, y=0mm] {\externalfigure[background.jpg][height=\paperwidth]}
Ususally I call the background after a head command like \starttitle or when I create slides like this
\startslide[title={foobar}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg:hs2020-mond] ... \stopslide
The problem is that I cannot call the background on another slide. It seems as if the layer is gone after the first usage.
This is normal behaviour for layers but you can repeat it on every page with \definelayer [bg:...] [state=repeat] 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}] Wolfgang
