The background mechanism for the text areas supports only a fraction of
the normal framed options but you can do a lot when you use Metapost to
draw the background.
\startuniqueMPgraphic{TextBackground}
path p ; p := unitsquare xscaled OverlayWidth yscaled OverlayHeight ;
draw p topenlarged 5mm ;
setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[TextBackground][\uniqueMPgraphic{TextBackground}]
\setuppapersize[A4]
\setuppagenumbering[state=none]
\setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=TextBackground]
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
BTW: It’s rude to crosspost without mentioning this
