Sorry, I haven't been following this thread, but I have an example of backgrounds, layers, and x-y positioning on my page: http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html The general method I use is something like: \useexternalfigure[mars-graphic][marsphoto][type=png, width=1.6049in, height=1.6049in] \definelayer[mars-layer] \defineoverlay[mars-overlay][\composedlayer{mars-layer}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background={...,mars-overlay,...}] \setlayer[mars-layer][x=0.8333in,y=6.395in]{\externalfigure[mars-graphi c]} where "..." indicates other overlays. For the actual background I use an image that simply contains the color I need. -Bill -- Sattre Press Pagan Papers http://sattre-press.com/ by Kenneth Grahame info@sattre-press.com http://pp.sattre-press.com/
