Hi,
overlays are not displayed when used as a background for
textbackground. Is this a bug or are overlays not supported?
in principle we can make it pluggable (given that there is some
sensible way to pass info and real need for it)
No, I don't need it.
...
\definetextbackground [mybackgroundOverlay] [mp=mpos:region:whatever]
\startuseMPgraphic{mpos:region:whatever}
    for i=1 upto nofmultipars :
        draw textext("\externalfigure[cow.pdf]") rotated 10 shifted
center multipars[i] ;
    endfor ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
\startmybackgroundOverlay
        \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \par}
  \stopmybackgroundOverlay
\stoptext
Thanks for the example.
