Hello,
for some reason I have always been using standardmakeup for separating
chapters in slides (I don't know if that's a good idea or not), but
this fails:
\setupcolors
[state=start]
\setuphead
[chapter]
[page=yes,
number=no,
command=\mychaptercommand]
\setuphead
[section]
[page=yes,
number=no]
\def\mychaptercommand#1#2{%
\bgroup
\startstandardmakeup
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=blue] % doesn't work
\switchtobodyfont[30pt]{#2}
\stopstandardmakeup
\egroup}
\starttext
\chapter{Chapter}
\section{Section} % starts on the first page
\input tufte
\stoptext
I have now used
\def\mychapter#1#2{%
% the only way to make background color work
\page\bgroup
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=blue]
\startstandardmakeup
\switchtobodyfont[30pt]{#1: #2}
\stopstandardmakeup
\egroup}
as a workaround, but I wonder: is my first attempt something that's
simply forbidden to use or did I use it in a wrong way?
Thanks,
Mojca

just keep in mind that makeups are just vboxes, and that the chapter
commands does quite some things,
page=,before=\startstandardmakeup,after=\stopstandardmakeup
may be a safer way
