Hello, I would like to put a line (not [underbared]) under the header and above the footer. The line shouldn't be to thin (not so thin as \hairline) and it would be nice, if I could have a coloured line (grey, red, whatever). A small example, so something like this (best view with non proportional font): header pagenumber ------------------------------------------- text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text ----------------------------------------- footer footer Thanks for any help, best wishes, Helmut

In ConTeXt it's useful if you can think around some edges: Such a line is a frame with only one frame line. This "frame" forms the background of your header. Ergo: \setupbackgrounds [header][text][frame=off, bottomframe=on] \setupbackgrounds [footer][text][frame=off, topframe=on] Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

Unluckily, what you did here does not work very well for me - the line is quite below

Try to decrease your header height, the header background box will follow and probably the line gets closer to the text. (\setuplayout[...]) BTW: Hairlines work on lowres output devices (600 dpi laser printer), but will disappear on an offset plate. Only as a hint if someone wants to get his/her books printed. Why? -- Hairlines are one pixel thick, and one pixel is invisible if your output device has got about 2450 dpi. Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/
