I found it now. \setupscreens [\c!screen=0.95] I was just too blind to find it before. > (value taken from pack-rul.mkii) to colo-rgb I was thinking about that as well. Having a "screen" color would be nice for those who got used to the old name. Mojca In the meantime I figured it out what has happened with the "screen" color on my display. TextMate uses Alt-Command-. for auto-completion of "\stopwhatevercommandhasbeenstarted" in ConTeXt (an extremely useful feature). But Mac uses Ctrl-Alt-Command-. to increase the contrast of display. So apparently I accidentally hit Ctrl several times without noticing or bothering (and without knowing how to switch back), but enough to make "95% white" disappear. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
