A thinner hrule for headers

A thinner hrule for headers

[Thomas Kreuzer]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to know if it is possible to get a thinner hrule in headers (mkiv).

Right now I am using

\setupheader[after=\hrule]

replacing hrule with thinrule or hairline results in space below the 
header text and the line, and the line actually spans two lines.

How can I control the thickness of the line, I remember having read 
something about using frames, but I can't find the post anymore.

Thanks in advance, and regards,
Thomas

If this \hrule is TeX's primitive \hrule, then you can (maybe) type
[after={\hrule height 0.4pt\relax}] for the default (and change the
height for other dimensions).

That said, this is a low-level hack and not very ConTeXt-y (even if it
works, which I don't know.)

Best,

Hi,

Maybe you need something like \hairline:

\setupthinrules[height=.1pt,depth=.1pt]
\setupheader[after=\hairline]

You can also enclose your header in a \framed commande, such as
	\framed[frame=off,bottomframe=on]

Best regards: OK

A header is already enclosed in a frame! Something like

\setupbackgrounds[header][text][bottomframe=on, framethickness=0.4pt]

should work.

Hi Aditya,

Yes indeed you are right… 
	\setupbackgrounds[header][text][bottomframe=on, framethickness=0.4pt]
works fine but then the ruler of the bottomframe is too close to the text.
Since Thomas Kreuzer did not provide a minimal example, it is not clear what he wants exactly.

Best regards: OK

Strangly, it DOES work for a value of 0.01pt (it looks like 0.2pt for 
framethickness), a value of 0.2pt doesn't make a noticable difference 
somehow.

This is the most convenient solution for me, but it has a weird 
aftertaste, given that I do nut understand why I have to give it such a 
low parameter.

Thank you very much,
Thomas

Oddly enough, it works well, but somehow I had to use 0.01pt to make it 
noticable.

In print or on screen? TeX is very precise but displays and printers can 
do rounding and snapping.
