Hi, I'm starting a presentation with ConTeXt.

I'd like to visually differentiate each section, so I've come up with 
two complementary approaches to do that:

* Use a different color palette for each section, and
* Mark the progress bar to indicate the start of each section.

I've done an small example (at the end) but:

* Last Subject of a Topic take color from next Topic. (e.g. "Some 
greenB")
* I don't like interactionBar styles provided.

I'd like something like:

|-----|-|-----|--|------
(horizontal line and a vertical line at the begin of each section and a 
vertical line of different color for current position)

other option I like:

######%%@@@@@@HHH&&&&&&&
(each letter represents a color. It's a bar with colors marking size of 
text. So it's a series of color rectangles with colors for each section 
and a vertical line for current position)

The main problems are:

* How can I pass the first page of each section to MetaPost?
* How can I protect background color of SomeGreenB to be green and not 
blue?

Thanks.
