Then you're using [text] and not [page] \setupbackgrounds[page][....] will really put things in relation to the top left corner, while for instance [text][text] will use the text as ref point. \overlaywidth and \overlayheight represent the current h/vsize. The origin of the page is (0,0), but the origin of the text area which is header+text+footer is (backspace,topspace).
