Background colors in teTeX 1.0.7

Background colors in teTeX 1.0.7

[Balazs Nagy]

Hi,

I'd like to use background colors as I did earlier, but every time I try it
I get black background.  Here's my example:

% interface=english output=pdftex
\pdfoutput=1
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definecolor[gry][s=.9]
\setupbackground[background=color,backgroundcolor=gry]
\starttext
normal
\background{backgrounded}
\stoptext

I tried with background=screen too, but nothing happened.

How can I use raster backgrounds again? The same applies to tables.

That's wrong. Never use low level pdf primitives, and let \CONTEXT\ turn on
pdf support, since then it can load the right drivers. 

the hard coded way is [but best use txexec] \setupoutput[pdftex]

this provides a background behind running text. Page backgrounds are
defined differently [see s-pre-*.tex]

did you use texexec ?
