Hallo,
With the help of JavaScript, I am now able to provide links that open the
same document in either full-screen mode or non-full-screen mode. Trouble
is, if the document isn't exactly the shape of the background, the screen
is padded with black when the document is displayed full-screen. Black is
not the idea colour. Is there any way to configure this colour in the
document, either in PDF or JavaScript? The Acrobat FullScreen Prefs
menu allows this to be changed but the closest I've been able to come
to automating this from the document is to open the dialog window.
The alternative is to define the document dimensions so that it is the
correct shape, and set the background colour myself. But then the
background appears in the printout. Is it possible to clip this on
output? I can't assume paper dimensions because it might be A4 or 6x4
inch photo paper, or something different entirely.
Cheers,
Matthew

Can you try:
\setupbackgrounds
[page]
[background=color,
backgroundoffset=10pt,
backgroundcolor=red]
That way, the background goes over the normal page dimensions without
affecting the page.

That doesn't seem to make any difference - the document is red but the
space around the document is still white.
