With the new implementation I couldn't get it working. But we discussed that at some point in the past. I believe the gist of it was “shade-to-transparent is gone”. > stuff i'd only look into when i have to (in principle one > can make all kind of fancy mechanisms but does it pay off ... seldom) If there's no easy solution, it's alright. If have a workaround. No need to waste time on exotic features (as long as masks in external figures keep working). Still, if you happen to know a trick to pull that off in ConTeXt, let me know.
