Columns and colour background [urgent]

Columns and colour background [urgent]

[Oliver Buerschaper]

Dear folks,

I'm reposting this because I haven't got any answers so far and also  
because this is somewhat urgent for me. I need this for a scientific  
poster which is due rather soon ... Please share your valuable advice  
with me :-)

Oliver



Consider this:

---

\setupcolors
	[state=start]

\setupcolumns
	[background=color,
	 backgroundcolor=red]


\starttext

\startcolumns[n=2]
\dorecurse{4}{\input tufte}
\stopcolumns

\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=red]{Test}

\stoptext

---

Shouldn't the background of my columns be painted red? According to
the manual \setupcolumns inherits from \setupframed which does work ...

Try adding option=background to the \setupcolumns. It may not do
precisely what you want though, as the column gap will not be
colored. If you want that, use textbackgrounds instead

Best wishes,
Taco

Thanks, Taco! That workes even better than I thought ... a column gap  
without color is more a feature to me than anything else ;-)

Oliver

P.S. Why's the option=background necessary from an interface point of  
view? Doesn't everything else (especially \framed) do without it  
happily?

Oliver,

adding the option=background may help

\setupcolumns[option=background]
