Layers for absolute positioning
Hi, I have been trying to learn the best way to position text on a page.
From the messages it appears that a good way to do so, is to use layers. But it seems that to activate them I need to set them as background of the page. However, that removes the background color. How can I get both layers and a background color?
I have given a minimal example below. Thanks, Bharat This is the minimal example I am working with: \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[xwi] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color, backgroundcolor=linen] \starttext \definelayer [windows] [x=3in, y=3in, width=3in, height=4in] \setlayer [windows] [hoffset=1cm, voffset=1cm] {Windows 7} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=windows] \page[empty] \stoptext

\setupbackgrounds[page][background={color,windows}] Wolfgang
Thanks, Wolfgang! That works great.
Another related question...can I add a different background color to
the layer (a color different than rest of the page).
Thanks.
