I'm working with the simpleslides module and am trying to prepare a
presentation using the FramedTitle style. Things are mostly OK, but I
notice one curious problem with the title page. Try this out on the
live ConTeXt installation:
% -- the beginning
\usemodule[simpleslides]
[
style=FramedTitle,
]
\setupTitle[
title={Why is this red?},
author={You},
date={\date[y=2014,m=1,d=07]},
]
\placeTitle
\SlideTitle{this is white (maybe grey)}
text in black as expected
% -- the end
What I notice is that the text on the title page (title, author, date) is
* in red on a red background (quite hard to read), and
* not centered (even though in the documentation for the simpleslides
module and the examples it contains the content on the titleslide
ought to be centered).
I'm using an up-to-date ConTexT; I have the minimals installed on my machine and
just did an update today using
$ ./first-setup.sh --modules=all
I'm running in mkiv mode in the sense that I run simply
$ context slides.tex
and I can confirm, using
$ which context
that I really am running the ConTeXt that I expect. In any case, the
curiosity I describe can be replicated using the live ConTeXt on the
ConTeXtgarden. Can you see what might be going wrong?
Thanks,
Jesse

Oops, this was put in for debugging purposes and never removed. You can
do either of these two things:
1. fix the file simpleslides-s-FuzzyFrame.tex with this patch:
@@ -124,14 +124,14 @@
\bgroup},
\c!after={\egroup\vfill},
\c!title\c!style={\switchtobodyfont[\TitleSize]},
- \c!title\c!color=,
- \c!title\c!align=,%\v!middle,
+ \c!title\c!color=simpleslides:backgroundcolor,
+ \c!title\c!align=\v!middle,
\c!author\c!style=,

+ \c!date\c!align=\v!middle,
\c!before\c!title=,
\c!before\c!author=,
\c!before\c!date=,
2. or set these things up in your file:
\setupTitle[
titlealign=middle,
titlecolor=simpleslides:backgroundcolor,
authoralign=middle,
authorcolor=simpleslides:backgroundcolor,
datealign=middle,
datecolor=simpleslides:backgroundcolor,
title={Why is this red?},
author={You},
date={\date[y=2014,m=1,d=07]},
]
Sorry, will be fixed in next release.
Thomas
