This is a question that is similar to this one. I wished to implement two features of tcolorbox:

  • Box titles, with their respective list with placelistofXXX
  • Ability to choose between rounded and straight box edges.

What I had in mind was basically joining both frames below, but I still can't figure out spacing and overlay.

\starttext
\startframedtext[background=color,backgroundcolor=orange,width=.8\textwidth,align=flushleft,frame=off,bottomframe=on,framecolor=blue,bottomframe=on,rulethickness=2pt,width=.8\textwidth,location=middle,loffset=-1ex,toffset=-1ex,boffset=-1ex]
\bf A grandiose and reverential title, praising the stones and trees
\stopframedtext

\startframedtext[frame=off,topframe=on,bottomframe=on,framecolor=darkgray,background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray,corner=round,width=.8\textwidth,location=middle]
\input tufte
\stopframedtext


\stoptext

Edit:

Basically what I wanted was a simple tcolorbox with title, number, and content in a separate placecontent:

a box

  • I think it could help with a picture of what you try to achive. In particular it is difficult to know what spacing you want. – mickep Dec 07 '20 at 09:36
  • @mickep, I wanted to put the first frame inside, and aligned with, the second, so that this "frame inside the frame" would be a numbered title. But if I do that there's a left and top space I haven't figured out how to remove yet. –  Dec 07 '20 at 13:57

I'll simply use natural tables to get the desired output:

\usemodule[annotation]

\usecolors[solarized]


\startsetups table:tcolorbox
  \setupTABLE[row][1]
             [
               background=color,
               backgroundcolor=red,
               foregroundcolor=base3,
               foregroundstyle=bold,
               framecolor=red,
               rulethickness=1.5bp,
               corner=03,
               loffset=0.25em,
               roffset=0.25em,
             ]


\setupTABLE[row][2]
             [
               background=color,
               backgroundcolor=base2,
               foregroundcolor=base03,
               framecolor=red,
               rulethickness=1.5bp,
               corner=01,
               loffset=0.25em,
               roffset=0.25em,
               align={normal,hyphenated},
             ]
\stopsetups


\startsetups annotation:tcolorbox
  \startTABLE[setups=table:tcolorbox]
    \NC \placeannotationtext\space
        \placeannotationnumber:\space
        \placeannotationtitle   \NC \NR
    \NC \placeannotationcontent \NC \NR
  \stopTABLE
  \writetolist[tcolorbox]{\placeannotationnumber}{\placeannotationtitle}
\stopsetups


\defineannotationalternative
    [tcolorbox]
    [
      alternative=vertical,
      renderingsetup=annotation:tcolorbox,
    ]


\defineannotation[tcolorbox]
                 [
                   text=Example,
                   number=yes,
                   alternative=tcolorbox,
                 ]


\starttext


\placelist[tcolorbox][alternative=b,criterium=all, headnumber=always]


\section{One}


\starttcolorbox[title={Title with a number}]
  \input ward
\stoptcolorbox


\starttcolorbox[title={Title with a number}]
  \input ward
\stoptcolorbox


\stoptext

which gives

enter image description here If you want straight edges, simply comment out the corner=... lines.
