Thanks. Here's the code: <file> \setuppapersize[S6][S6] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \switchtobodyfont[modern,20pt] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=darkblue] \startcolor[white] \setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch] \definecolor[a][r=0,g=0,b=1] \definecolor[b][r=0,g=0,b=0.05] \startuniqueMPgraphic{LinearShade} path p ; p := unitsquare xscaled \overlaywidth yscaled \overlayheight ; linear_shade(p,6,\MPcolor{a},\MPcolor{b}) ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[shaded][\useMPgraphic{LinearShade}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background={shaded}] \starttext Here's my first presentation in \CONTEXT! Isn't it amazing? \stoptext </file> This is from an old ConTeXt example I copied from your documentation (I don't recall exactly). Thanks!
