Hi all, I have a vague memory that there was a message (by Wolfgang Schuster?) about this a couple of months ago, but I'm unable to find anything in the archives. What I want: add a layer on top of the current page. This page is created with the simpleslides-module, so it already contains several layers. I want something on top of all that, and I seem to remember that there was some option to say "typeset the current layers + this additional one." Can somebody help my memory? All best Thomas

\defineoverlay[x][a] \defineoverlay[x][b] \setupbackgrounds ... [background={a,foreground,b} etc .. in your module you can just add a few more in the chain (unknown ones are ignored) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

\defineoverlay[x][a] \defineoverlay[x][b]
\setupbackgrounds ... [background={a,foreground,b}
b is on the top of foreground foreground is on the top of a a is the base layer -- luigi

Thanks, Hans and Luigi, that was very fast! Yes, this works wonderfully! All best Thomas

Do you mean: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20060115.080349.8efe83be.en.html This works with MkII but not MkIV. For example, \usemodule[simpleslides][style=BigNumber] \defineoverlay [test] [{\framed[align={middle,middle}, width=\overlaywidth, height=\overlayheight]{TEST}}] \starttext \SlideTitle {ABC} \input tufte \page \SlideTitle {ABC} \expandparameters\setupbackgrounds[page][background={\currentvalue,test}] \input tufte \stoptext Aditya
