Hi everyone.

I would like to pose the following question: I would like to know how I can customize the page number using an embedded graphic made ​​with METAFUN. I mean, I wish someone would send me a simple example to do that, for example, a page number or headers (chapter, section, etc..)  may appear with a color background or something else. The METAFUN manual provides, for example, the page number within an ellipse, and the sections are underlined in orange.

Thank you all for your patience and sorry for my poor English and my poor knowledge of ConTeXt, but I'm studying hard reference manuals ConTeXt and hope to go slowly improving, although I am not expert in computer programming languages ​​or even less in mathematics.

Thanks very much.

These are only simple styles but the show how you can customize the heading and pagenumber.

\define[2]\ChapterCommand
  {\startframed[frame=off,bottomframe=on,framecolor=orange,width=fit]
    #1\hspace[medium]#2
    \stopframed}

\setuphead[chapter][command=\ChapterCommand]

\startuseMPgraphic{pagenumber}
  draw fullcircle xyscaled(OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) withcolor \MPcolor{blue} ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[pagenumber][\useMPgraphic{pagenumber}]

\define[1]\PagenumberCommand
  {\framed[frame=off,background=pagenumber]{#1}}

\setuppagenumbering[command=\PagenumberCommand]

\starttext
\chapter{This is a chapter}
\stoptext
