backgroundscreen no longer working

backgroundscreen no longer working

[Thomas Floeren]

Hi,

backgroundscreen is no longer working here, apparently since the beta 2015-04-12.

\starttext
% \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray]
\setupbackgrounds [page] [background=screen,backgroundscreen=.8]
\input knuth
\stoptext


If I use the pack-rul.mkiv from 2015-04-08 it works again.

Is it deprecated now, or is this just a bug?

Thanks.

More precisely: If I uncomment the 2 definitions `\pack_framed_background_box_gray` and `\pack_framed_background_box_gray_indeed` it works again.

they are kept as reference .. in fact we also need to comment this line

\letvalue{\??overlaybuiltin\v!screen    }\pack_framed_background_box_gray

just curious: who is still using backgroundscreen?

(btw, there were gone in the betas for a while so it's not that sudden.)

Well, it still worked until 8 April ;-)

I had the backgroundscreen in an environment file which is about 8 years old …

it's definitely and on purpose gone .. i kept it for a few years but not 
it's really gone in mkiv

so just use backgroundcolor=gray (or some shade)

(long long ago - dvi times - the distinction was there because we could 
fake gray using small periods so it was a different background plugin)

(just like nowadays \encoding[utf] is not needed and colors are enabled 
by default)
