I'm actually using the visualcounter module for a presentation and I can't modify the style of the page number inside the countdown counter. The documentation let me think the 'style' parameter should do the job but it doesn't seem to work.

Do I miss something or is this a bug?

This is a bug. Thanks for the report. I have fixed it on the github dev branch, and will upload a new version soon.

In case anyone is interested, this is what was happening:

Context parses the parameter of `\useMPgraphic` to determine the MP instance. The code was using

\useMPgraphic{\visualcounterparameter\c!mp}

`\useMPgraphic` does not expand its arguments, so the proper MP instance was not initialized. Changed the above line to

\expanded{\useMPgraphic{\visualcounterparameter\c!mp}}

and now style and color parameters work.

even if it would expand, then we still can have an issue when the definer uses a macro as that one doesn't get expanded either, like: \starttext \def\xxx{x} \startuseMPgraphic {\xxx 1} draw fullcircle scaled 1cm ; \stopuseMPgraphic \startuniqueMPgraphic{\xxx 1} draw fullcircle scaled 1cm ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \def\xxx{xx} \useMPgraphic{x1} \uniqueMPgraphic{x1} \stoptext this is seldom an issue, but for convenience I patched the definers and resolvers so that the first argument gets expanded (next upload) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
