Took me a while to get back to this.
Bob, I followed the documentation that you referred to, and added a background-color attribute to the fo:region-after elements. It doesn't seem to do a thing.
Here's the logic I put in to decide whether to use the default or the custom page-masters:
<xsl:template name="select.user.pagemaster">
<xsl:param name="element"/>
<xsl:param name="pageclass"/>
<xsl:param name="default-pagemaster"/>
<!-- Return my customized title page master name if for body,
otherwise return the default -->
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$default-pagemaster = 'body'">
<xsl:value-of select="'instart-body'" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$default-pagemaster"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
I suspect I am not selecting my custom one properly and it's using the default - but I can't see why. Any ideas?

Hi Alan,
That area is defined by the fo:region-after in the
fo:simple-page-masters in fo:pagesetup.xsl. There is no attribute-set for
that region, but you can create your own custom page-masters, and add the
background-color to that fo:region-after element. Customing
page-masters is described here:

Subject: [docbook-apps] Footer background color for pront
output
Hi,
I'm having some trouble trying to figure out how to set up my footer for
print output to have its background color set. I can add it to the
footer.content.properties attribute set, but that only sets the background color
of the displayed text - kind of like in HTML setting the background color
attribute for the text in a div rather than for the div itself. In other
words, I want the entire lower 15% or so of the printed page to have a different
background color than the rest of the page.
Any hints?
Thanks!
