Setting background for entire header

Setting background for entire header

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

I want to set the background of the entire header (from left edge of 
the paper to the right edge). As far as I could tell, there is no way 
to coax setupbackgrounds to do this. I can do this using layers or 
abuse the margin and offset keys of framed to make it cover the 
remaining area, but is there really no direct way to do this? Here is 
my attempt so far.

\setupbodyfont[14pt]

\setuppapersize  [S6] [S6]

\setuplayout
   [topspace=0cm,
    top=0cm,
    topdistance=0cm,
    header=3\lineheight,
    headerdistance=0.5\lineheight,
    height=middle,
    footerdistance=0.5\lineheight,
    footer=2\lineheight,
    bottomspace=0cm,
    bottom=0cm,
    bottomdistance=0cm,
    backspace=1cm,
    leftmargin=.5cm,
    leftmargindistance=.15cm,
    width=middle,
    cutspace=.5cm,
    rightmargin=.25cm,
    rightmargindistance=.15cm,
    grid=yes,
  ]

\setupcolors[state=start]

%%%% What should go here???
\setupbackgrounds[header][background=color,backgroundcolor=blue]
%%%%

\starttext test \stoptext

Hi Aditya,

Variant 1:

\setuplayout
  [leftedgedistance=0pt,
   rightedgedistance=0pt,
   leftmargindistance=0pt,
   rightmargindistance=0pt,
   leftedge=2cm,
   rightedge=2cm]

\showframe

\setupcolors[state=start]

\setupbackgrounds
  [header]
  [leftedge,leftmargin,text,rightmargin,rightedge]
  [background=color,backgroundcolor=blue]

\starttext test \stoptext


Variant 2:

\setupcolors[state=start]

\defineoverlay
 [colorrule]
 [{\color[blue]{\vrule width2\hsize height\headerheight\relax}}]

\setupbackgrounds
 [header]
 [background=colorrule]

\starttext test \stoptext

Ah, edgedistance. Somehow I had missed this.

This works, but I need a non-zero margin distance.

This is easier than what I was doing. Thanks.

But, it would have been nicer if something like this could be achieved 
by

\setupbackgrounds
 	[header]
 	[page]
 	[background=color,backgroundcolor=blue]
