There are several methods,
(1) simple backgrounds:
% output=pdftex
\starttext
\setupcolors
[state=start]
\setupbackgrounds
[text][text]
[frame=on,
rightframe=off,
topframe=off,
bottomframe=off,
framecolor=red,
rulethickness=1mm,
frameoffset=.5cm]
(2) metapost backgrounds
\setupbackgrounds
[page]
[background=DemoFrame]
\defineoverlay[DemoFrame][\reuseMPgraphic{DemoFrame}]
\startreusableMPgraphic {DemoFrame}
StartPage ;
Field[Text][Text] := Field[Text][Text] enlarged .5cm ;
draw (llcorner Field[Text][Text] -- ulcorner Field[Text][Text])
withcolor green withpen pencircle scaled .5cm ;
StopPage ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
Method 2 can also use the values from setup commands, see metafun manual.
