I'm trying to learn `context`, and I'm satisfied with their capacities.

I read in contextgarden that options of `\setupbackgrounds` inherit from `\setupframed`, but if I setup `toffset=5mm` for `\setupbackgrounds[text][text][frame=on,toffset=5mm]` I have no effect?

With `frameoffset` you can modify the four directions but how about a single direction?

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 (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/296037/is-there-toffset-option-for-setupbackgrounds-in-context)
