Hi, Of course this is a very elaborate solution which comes in handy, if you want special effects. however for the simple case of a rule you could also use just: \setupbackgrounds[header][text][frame=off, bottomframe=on,rulethickness=1pt] Willi On 3 Mar 2011, at 16:39, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Hi Wolfgang,

Is there also a possibility to have 2 lines below the header with different color and different thickness?

You can use TeX’s own mechanism to draw the rules or use MetaPost.

% solution 1:

%\startsetups headerrules % \blackrule[width=\hsize,color=yellow,height=3pt] % \blackrule[width=\hsize,color=orange,height=3pt] %\stopsetups % %\setupheader[text][after=\setups{headerrules}]

% solution 2:

\startuseMPgraphic{headerrules} draw origin--(OverlayWidth,0) withcolor red withpen pencircle scaled 4 ; draw origin--(OverlayWidth,0) withcolor blue withpen pencircle scaled 4 shifted (0,4) ; clip currentpicture to OverlayBox ; setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox ; \stopuseMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[headerrules][\useMPgraphic{headerrules}]

\setupbackgrounds[header][text][background=headerrules]

\starttext \input knuth \stoptext

Wolfgang
