ahh, so many MetaFun commands i don't know about :)

BTW, i've tried hyperpath, hyperlink but it corrupts my PDF file.
Have you used it successfully?

because it looks nice -) Using a transparent white text background
on top of a colored page background gives a not totally white
background for the text. Thus there is enough contrast for the
text but it looks not that flashy.

in the MetaFun manual is written that offset applies to both frame
 _and_ background. Thus i thought using offset would be enough.

Thanks.
