Patrick Gundlach :

Hello,

for the colors, use \setupcolors[state=start] (plural).

Ah -- right, thanks. It works now. There is a typo in the beginner's manual (the "excursion") on page 59 -- it says \setupcolor[state=start]. (On the previous page, the general form is mentioned as \setupcolors[...], but I simply copied the statement to my code.)

If you need, I can send you a small test document.

No problem. I was simply mislead by the documentation ;)

Pat
