Normally, you can just say \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=black] But simpleslides resets the page background on each page so you need to play nice with simpleslides \usemodule[simpleslides] \setupcolors[textcolor=white] \startuseMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:horizontal} StartPage ; fill Page withcolor black ; StopPage ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay [simpleslides:background:horizontal] [\useMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:horizontal}] \defineoverlay [simpleslides:background:vertical] [\useMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:horizontal}] \defineoverlay [simpleslides:background:title] [\useMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:horizontal}] % Now for the rest of the presentation \setupTitle [title={Presentation Title}, author={F.~Author, S.~Another}, date={Date / Occasion}] \starttext \placeTitle \SlideTitle{A quote} \input tufte \stoptext > For the sake of everybody out there wanting to use ConTeXt for their > presentations, it would be very nice to have a link for a complete > template, with title, author, a list and a picture in the Wiki.
