Re: Decorative frame for enumeration

Yes, this had the desired effect. For others who may want to do something
similar in the future:

\startuseMPgraphic{WEFrame}
    fill OverlayBox withcolor (.93, .96, 1.0) ;
    setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\startuseMPgraphic{WETitleFrame}
    fill OverlayBox withcolor (.2, .4, .75) ;
    setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[WEFrame][\useMPgraphic{WEFrame}]
\defineoverlay[WETitleFrame][\useMPgraphic{WETitleFrame}]

\defineenumeration[WorkedEx]
\setupenumeration[WorkedEx][%
    alternative=top,
    text={Worked Example},
    inbetween={\blank[small]},
    before={\startframed[
        frame=off,
        background=WEFrame,
        rulethickness=0pt,
        align=normal,
        offset=overlay,
        loffset=8pt,
        boffset=4pt,
        width=broad,
    ]},
    after={\stopframed},
    headcommand=\WETitleCommand,
]

\define[1]\WETitleCommand{%
    \hskip-8pt
    \framed[frame=off,%
        width=broad,
        width=\dimexpr\textwidth-24.8pt\relax,%
        frame=off,%
        rulethickness=0pt,
        offset=4pt,%
        strut=no,
        background=WETitleFrame,%
        foregroundcolor=white,
        align=flushleft,%
    ]{#1}
}

\starttext

\startWorkedEx
Take the sequence
    \startformula
        2, 8, 14, 20, 26, \ldots
    \stopformula
\stopWorkedEx

\stoptext

My only minor nit would be a way to allow a framed box in another framed
box to ignore offset parameters of the parent framed box.
