Hey list, On the cover page of my book I'd like just an image displayed and another image used as the background for every other page in the book. So I put this in my environment, % Cover image... \definelayer [CoverImage] [x=0mm, y=0mm, \paperwidth, \paperheight] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage] \setlayer [CoverImage] % name of the layer {\externalfigure [Makeup/Images/Cover.jpg] [align=center, \paperwidth, \paperheight]} % the actual contents of the layer % Regular background image... \definelayer [BackgroundImage] [x=0mm, y=0mm, \paperwidth, \paperheight, repeat=yes] \setlayer [BackgroundImage] % name of the layer {\externalfigure [Makeup/Images/Background.png] [align=center, \paperwidth, \paperheight]} % the actual contents of the layer , the following in the book's first page, \setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage] , and the following on second page, \setupbackgrounds[page][background=BackgroundImage] . But this does not work properly. What ends up happening is the cover image is displayed correctly, but every page after that just has a blank white background. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

less code: \defineoverlay [BackgroundImage] [\overlayfigure{Makeup/Images/Background.png}]
, the following in the book's first page,
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage]
, and the following on second page,
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=BackgroundImage]
.. But this does not work properly. What ends up happening is the cover image is displayed correctly, but every page after that just has a blank white background.

Thanks Wolfgang. That did it. Although I did change userpage to realpage. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
