Thanks. Here's the code:

<file>
\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
\switchtobodyfont[modern,20pt]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=darkblue]
\startcolor[white]
\setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch] 
\definecolor[a][r=0,g=0,b=1]
\definecolor[b][r=0,g=0,b=0.05]

\startuniqueMPgraphic{LinearShade}
path p ;
p := unitsquare xscaled \overlaywidth yscaled \overlayheight ;
linear_shade(p,6,\MPcolor{a},\MPcolor{b}) ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[shaded][\useMPgraphic{LinearShade}]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background={shaded}]
\starttext

Here's my first presentation in \CONTEXT!

Isn't it amazing?

\stoptext
</file>

This is from an old ConTeXt example I copied from your documentation
(I don't recall exactly).

Thanks!

Kumar
