Hello Hans, I think \setupbackgrounds now requires you to specify both the column(s) *and* the row(s) you want to fill in.
% does not work \setupbackgrounds[header][background=color, backgroundcolor=blue] % does not work \setupbackgrounds[header][][background=color, backgroundcolor=blue] % this works \setupbackgrounds[header][leftedge,leftmargin,text,rightmargin,rightedge][background=color, backgroundcolor=blue] (Also, just in case you didn't know: remember than any \showframe must come before \setupbackgrounds, or it will 'overwrite' your settings.)
