Hi, backgroundscreen is no longer working here, apparently since the beta 2015-04-12. \starttext % \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray] \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=screen,backgroundscreen=.8] \input knuth \stoptext If I use the pack-rul.mkiv from 2015-04-08 it works again. Is it deprecated now, or is this just a bug? Thanks. -- Tom

More precisely: If I uncomment the 2 definitions `\pack_framed_background_box_gray` and `\pack_framed_background_box_gray_indeed` it works again. -- Tom

they are kept as reference .. in fact we also need to comment this line \letvalue{\??overlaybuiltin\v!screen }\pack_framed_background_box_gray just curious: who is still using backgroundscreen?

Well, it still worked until 8 April ;-) I had the backgroundscreen in an environment file which is about 8 years old … -- Tom

it's definitely and on purpose gone .. i kept it for a few years but not it's really gone in mkiv so just use backgroundcolor=gray (or some shade) (long long ago - dvi times - the distinction was there because we could fake gray using small periods so it was a different background plugin) (just like nowadays \encoding[utf] is not needed and colors are enabled by default) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Ah, OK. Thanks. I wasn’t aware.
