I don't get this. My background image comes out at the center of the page; why doesn't the color follow suit? Anyway, \defineoverlay[backgr][{\externalfigure[elements2.eps]}] \setupbackgrounds[text][leftmargin][background={color,backgr}, backgroundcolor=green] still gives me no overlayed color. > When you use \setupbackgrounds[page]... you access the whole page > (!).

I don't know metapost (yet, its on my to-learn list); is there something I can do to get this solved in the meantime? Sincere Thnx to all for their help Idris
