Subject: trouble with the title page using the FramedTitle style of the simpleslides module
Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2014 22:58:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADEPSmztA-n_ztBo9t_9QtVw=VRxo7CE_AkEn_P=v+0MTbjQXQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm working with the simpleslides module and am trying to prepare a
presentation using the FramedTitle style.  Things are mostly OK, but I
notice one curious problem with the title page.  Try this out on the
live ConTeXt installation:

% -- the beginning
\usemodule[simpleslides]
          [
            style=FramedTitle,
          ]
\setupTitle[
  title={Why is this red?},
  author={You},
  date={\date[y=2014,m=1,d=07]},
]
\placeTitle
\SlideTitle{this is white (maybe grey)}
text in black as expected
% -- the end

What I notice is that the text on the title page (title, author, date) is

* in red on a red background (quite hard to read), and
* not centered  (even though in the documentation for the simpleslides
module and the examples it contains the content on the titleslide
ought to be centered).

I'm using an up-to-date ConTexT; I have the minimals installed on my machine and
just did an update today using

  $ ./first-setup.sh --modules=all

I'm running in mkiv mode in the sense that I run simply

  $ context slides.tex

and I can confirm, using

  $ which context

that I really am running the ConTeXt that I expect.  In any case, the
curiosity I describe can be replicated using the live ConTeXt on the
ConTeXtgarden.  Can you see what might be going wrong?

Thanks,

Jesse
