Hello,
\setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=picture] \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat]
It has to be two separate statements?
yes: ---- \definelayer[picture][preset=righttop,width=\textwidth] \setlayer[picture]{\externalfigure[mill][width=4cm]} \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=picture] \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat] \starttext \input knuth \page \input knuth \stoptext ---- BTW: I find "state=repeat" to get the background once confusing, too. Wouldn't be good (at least) to define "once" (as suggested) or "norepeat" options to use the background once? (Both to work in the same manner as "repeat" does.) And to keep "repeat" for backward compatibility, but to treat it as deprecated? (Or maybe I don't understand fully why "state=repeat" causes one-shot background; could anyone explain?)
