Subject: Layers for absolute positioning
Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2011 14:51:28 -0500 [thread overview]

Hi,
I have been trying to learn the best way to position text on a page.
From the messages it appears that a good way to do so, is to use
layers. But it seems that to activate them I need to set them as
background of the page. However, that removes the background color.
How can I get both layers and a background color?
I have given a minimal example below.
Thanks,
Bharat
This is the minimal example I am working with:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupcolor[xwi]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color, backgroundcolor=linen]
\starttext
\definelayer [windows] [x=3in, y=3in, width=3in, height=4in]
\setlayer [windows] [hoffset=1cm, voffset=1cm] {Windows 7}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=windows]
\page[empty]
\stoptext
