Hi all, I am a little bit confused as I never had this problem, although I often use backgrounds and layers. \definelayer[bg:hs2020-mond] [x=0, y=0, width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \setlayer[bg:hs2020-mond] [x=0mm, y=0mm] {\externalfigure[background.jpg][height=\paperwidth]} Ususally I call the background after a head command like \starttitle or when I create slides like this \startslide[title={foobar}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg:hs2020-mond] ... \stopslide The problem is that I cannot call the background on another slide. It seems as if the layer is gone after the first usage. So in this example the second bg:hs2020-mond would not print. \startslide[title={foobar}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg:hs2020-mond] ... \stopslide \startslide[title={foobar}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg:other] ... \stopslide \startslide[title={foobar}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg:hs2020-mond] ... \stopslide TIA juh -- Autoren-Homepage: ......... http://literatur.hasecke.com Satiren & Essays: ......... http://www.sudelbuch.de Privater Blog: ............ http://www.hasecke.eu Netzliteratur-Projekt: .... http://www.generationenprojekt.de

Hi all,
I am a little bit confused as I never had this problem, although I often use backgrounds and layers.
\definelayer[bg:hs2020-mond] [x=0, y=0, width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight]
\setlayer[bg:hs2020-mond] [x=0mm, y=0mm] {\externalfigure[background.jpg][height=\paperwidth]}
Ususally I call the background after a head command like \starttitle or when I create slides like this
\startslide[title={foobar}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=bg:hs2020-mond] ... \stopslide
The problem is that I cannot call the background on another slide. It seems as if the layer is gone after the first usage.
This is normal behaviour for layers but you can repeat it on every page with \definelayer [bg:...] [state=repeat] In your case a simple overlay is the simpler solution to get repeated images on every page, i.e. \defineoverlay [bg:hs2020-mond] [{\externalfigure[background.jpg][height=\paperheight]}] or \defineoverlay [bg:hs2020-mond] [\overlayfigure{background.jpg}] Wolfgang

Thanks. There was a dark idea of this in the back of my brain.

or
\defineoverlay [bg:hs2020-mond] [\overlayfigure{background.jpg}]
Is this defining and setting in one command? Can I set the offset in this way, too? juh

You can also pass a variable as argument in the second argument, e.g. in the following example I set the background image with the start of each new slide. \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \defineoverlay [SlideBackground] [\doifsomething {\structureuservariable{background}} {\externalfigure[\structureuservariable{background}][factor=max]}] \setuppapersize[S6] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=SlideBackground] %\setuppapersize[S6][S6,oversized] %\setupbackgrounds[paper][background=SlideBackground] %\setuplayout[location=middle] \definehead[Slide][chapter] \starttext \startSlide[title=Cow][background=cow] \dorecurse{3}{\dontleavehmode\page} \stopSlide \startSlide[title=Hacker][background=hacker] \dorecurse{3}{\dontleavehmode\page} \stopSlide \stoptext

It depends on your requirements, to get equal bleed on all four sides you can just increase the width/height of the image with the offset value. Wolfgang
\structureuservariable – this is really cool. Thanks a lot Wolfgang. juh Am 14.02.20 um 19:53 schrieb Wolfgang Schuster:
