If I use the fillcolor as an argument to the object
newBox.test(btex Transparent? etex) "filled(true)" "fillcolor(\MPcolor{Durchsichtig})";
can you try fillcolor \MPcolor{...}
or maybe
color xxxx ; xxxx := \MPcolor{...} ; fillcolor(xxxx) ;
Here is my current file, which just gives a white background in the box. \setupcolors[state=start] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=red] \definecolor[Transparent][r=0,g=1,b=1,t=0,a=normal] \startreusableMPgraphic{test} input metaobj; color t; t:=\MPcolor{Transparent}; setObjectDefaultOption("Box")("fillcolor")(t); newBox.test(btex Transparent? etex) "filled(true)"; Obj(test).c=origin; drawObj(test); \stopreusableMPgraphic \starttext \reuseMPgraphic{test} \stoptext Experimenting with default degrees of transparency, e.g. t=0.5, I have noticed that the object is indeed filled using the Transparent color. The problem seems to be that all objects in metaobj are filled using a non-transparent white by default. Subsequent filling with a completely transparent color then of course gives just white. Well, I just want to see my normal page background through the object. Can I achieve this? -- Eckhart
