Here is the important stuff:

you should use something like

\setuphead[chpater][command=\HeadTitle]

This is partly high level ConTeXt (\framed, background) and low level
TeX (hfill,...).

background has to be a color or an overlay or ...

They should be described in the main manual or the metafun manual.


Summary: define a metapost graphic, use \defineoverlay to access
the mp graphic and use \framed{} to access the overlay
(background=...) and use \setuphead (command=somecommand) to define
your own command that acesses the \framed[background=...].
