Thanks for he tip. However, I managed to get the desired effect by
setting a positive background offset, zero left/right offset, and
negative top offset, this worked fine foe background, but the negative
part has no effect in textbackground, any ideas?
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupbackground
[background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray,
leftoffset=0cm,rightoffset=0cm,
backgroundoffset=.5cm,topoffset=-.3cm, % the offset works here
frame=on]
\setuptextbackground
[background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray,
leftoffset=0cm,rightoffset=0cm,
backgroundoffset=.5cm,topoffset=-.3cm, % but not here
frame=on]
\starttext
\startbackground
\input tufte
\stopbackground
\vfill
\starttextbackground
\input tufte
\stoptextbackground
\stoptext
Regards,
Khaled
