Hello, I am trying to create alternating watermarks behind the text of a book on odd and even pages. I was able to get this working with overlays fine, except that I could not figure out how to position them. (I would like them in the bottom outside corners) Using layers I could get them to repeat across pages if I \setupbackgrounds[text][text], but only the text on the odd pages showed up. I would really like to use \setupbackgrounds[page] so my offsets are from the edge of the page. So I guess I have a couple of questions. Is it possible to position overlays? Is it possible to repeat layers using [page]? Any guess as to why only the odd pages showed the watermark in the code below? Thanks for any help. paul %output=pdf \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \setupcolors [state=start] \setupbackgrounds [text][text] [background=watermark,state=repeat] \definelayer [watermark] [position=yes] \startsetups watermark \doifoddpageelse {\framed[frame=off,foregroundcolor=gray]{\scale[sx=10,sy=10]{\rotate[rotation= 0.0]{forever}}}} {\framed[frame=off,foregroundcolor=gray]{\scale[sx=10,sy=10]{\rotate[rotation= 0.0]{together}}}} \stopsetups \starttext \setlayer[watermark][hoffset=1cm,voffset=1cm]{\setups{watermark}} \chapter{first} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter{second} \dorecurse{10}{\input davis } \chapter{third} \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf } \chapter{fourth} \dorecurse{10}{\input bryson } \stoptext
