I'm trying to learn `context`, and I'm satisfied with their capacities.

I read in contextgarden 
 that options 
of `\setupbackgrounds` inherit from `\setupframed`, but if I setup 
`toffset=5mm` for 
 `\setupbackgrounds[text][text][frame=on,toffset=5mm]` I have no effect?


With `frameoffset` you can modify the four directions but how about a 
single direction?
The background mechanism for the text areas supports only a fraction of 
the normal framed options but you can do a lot when you use Metapost to 
draw the background.


\startuniqueMPgraphic{TextBackground}
path p ; p := unitsquare xscaled OverlayWidth yscaled OverlayHeight ;
draw p topenlarged 5mm ;
setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[TextBackground][\uniqueMPgraphic{TextBackground}]

\setuppapersize[A4]
\setuppagenumbering[state=none]

\setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=TextBackground]

\starttext

\input knuth

\stoptext

BTW: It’s rude to crosspost without mentioning this 
(http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/296037/is-there-toffset-option-for-setupbackgrounds-in-context)
