Re: [NTG-context] 'Rainbow' header/footer
If I understand you correctly, then you have to deal with two pictures in the background. You might be able to make the pics in METAPOST. Create a layer and place the figures on the layer with \setlayer(framed). Put the layer in the background of the page.

[NTG-context] 'Rainbow' header/footer
I am using ConTeXt to make documentation for a webbased application. (100+ document) Last week they showed me another document with used a kind of rainbow (but completely filled at the upper part) for the page header and a 180 degrees rotated one with different colors for the page footer. Now they want me to do the same. What is the best way to do this? -- Cecil Westerhof ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Important 5th ConTeXt meeting news (again)
Hi again, Some more important news follows. Please read carefully, especially the section about the early bird registration change. == Location change (again) == After further inquiries, it turned out that the proposed venue at Charneux did not have any internet access at all. Predicting that this would be somewhat of an inconvenience, I decided to move the location yet again. This location change is not very important except to people coming in by car: we will still be in the same part of Belgium, but now a little bit to the north of Liège, instead of to the east. The new location is a small romantic château in Bassenge-Boirs: http://www.sjetootje.nl/ The meeting website is updated as well, of course. == Early bird registration change == Mojca pointed out by email that it was now impossible to register as early bird for people that could not / would not attend Southern France, but would be interested in coming to Belgium. This would be a little unfair, so we came up with a new early bird solution: Anyone will be eligible for early bird reduction that manages to have the appropriate amount transfered to my bank account on July 31, 2011. Anyone paying after that day has to pay the full amount. As we are talking about reception date here and international transfers can take a few days, this means that international transfers should be started no later than July 25, 2011. *Please note* that this now also works the other way around: unless you manage the payment in time, you will not be eligible for the early bird discount. Not even if you registered at BachoTeX already! That is perhaps a little unfair, but it is the consistent thing to do (and it helps to make the new budget balance out). == Best wishes, Taco ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
