Hi,

I want to set the background of the entire header (from left edge of the paper to the right edge). As far as I could tell, there is no way to coax setupbackgrounds to do this. I can do this using layers or abuse the margin and offset keys of framed to make it cover the remaining area, but is there really no direct way to do this? Here is my attempt so far.

\setupbodyfont[14pt]

\setuppapersize [S6] [S6]

\setuplayout [topspace=0cm, top=0cm, topdistance=0cm, header=3\lineheight, headerdistance=0.5\lineheight, height=middle, footerdistance=0.5\lineheight, footer=2\lineheight, bottomspace=0cm, bottom=0cm, bottomdistance=0cm, backspace=1cm, leftmargin=.5cm, leftmargindistance=.15cm, width=middle, cutspace=.5cm, rightmargin=.25cm, rightmargindistance=.15cm, grid=yes, ]

\setupcolors[state=start]

%%%% What should go here??? \setupbackgrounds[header][background=color,backgroundcolor=blue] %%%%

\starttext test \stoptext

Hi Aditya, Variant 1: \setuplayout [leftedgedistance=0pt, rightedgedistance=0pt, leftmargindistance=0pt, rightmargindistance=0pt, leftedge=2cm, rightedge=2cm] \showframe \setupcolors[state=start] \setupbackgrounds [header] [leftedge,leftmargin,text,rightmargin,rightedge] [background=color,backgroundcolor=blue] \starttext test \stoptext Variant 2: \setupcolors[state=start] \defineoverlay [colorrule] [{\color[blue]{\vrule width2\hsize height\headerheight\relax}}] \setupbackgrounds [header] [background=colorrule] \starttext test \stoptext Wolfgang
