Re: texpower & pdfscreen & dimmed colors
Thanks for all the hints. I was at a conference last week, and I managed to prepare my slides just in time. Hana -- Hana Skoumalova Institute of Theoretical & Computational Linguistics Charles University tel: +420 2 24491858 Celetna 13, 110 00 Praha 1 http://utkl.ff.cuni.cz/~skoumal Czech Republic

Looks ok to me. If you wish to avoid dimming colors with
\displaystepcontents only to enhance them again with
\activatestep, you can use the optional arguments of
\step for controlling activation:
\liststepwise[\let\hidestepcontents=\hidedimmed
\let\activatestep=\highlightenhanced]
{
\step[][\boolean{firstactivation}]{\item we ``discover'' the structure of the
document (DTD)}
\step[][\boolean{firstactivation}]{\item SGML tools (nsgmls, yasp) help us to
correct the source}
\step[][\boolean{firstactivation}]{\item we can produce the ``printing''
markup again}
\step[][\boolean{firstactivation}]{\item we can use SGML format for other
applications}
}
Of course, you can hide the optional argument in a
selfdefined macro (item can go in there, too, like
\newcommand{\myitem}[1]{\step[][\boolean{firstactivation}]{\item#1}}
).

If you want _all_ colors to go to green, use
\hidevanish instead of \hidedimmed and set
\renewcommand{\vanishcolor}{green}.
If you want different defined colors to go
to different shades of green, redefine the
dimmed variants (dtextcolor, dmathcolor, ...)
accordingly (using \definecolor or \replacecolor).

Re: texpower & pdfscreen & dimmed colors
Thank you for the hint. I already got the answer from Ross Moore. I will
try the better solution but in fact I would like to get sth like this:
\begin{itemize}
\liststepwise[\let\hidestepcontents=\hidedimmed
\let\displaystepcontents=\hidedimmed
\let\activatestep=\highlightenhanced]
{
\step{\item we ``discover'' the structure of the document (DTD)}
\step{\item SGML tools (nsgmls, yasp) help us to correct the source}
\step{\item we can produce the ``printing'' markup again}
\step{\item we can use SGML format for other applications}
}
\end{itemize}
Only the highlighted item is well seen, others are dimmed. Is there a
better way to do this? And what if I wanted to use a different color
(say green instead of dimmed)?

Now I know why I had the nagging feeling that
setting parameters using \let isn't a good idea ;-)
Maybe I'll look for a safer way for setting parameters
within \stepwise.
But even with \hidestepcontents spelled correctly,
you might experience grief with vertical spelling,
because \hidestepcontents uses \textcolor which
doesn't really belong around \item...
I'd advise using
\begin{itemize}
\liststepwise
{
\dstep\item we ``discover'' the structure of the document (DTD)
\dstep\item SGML tools (nsgmls, yasp) help us to correct the source
\dstep\item we can produce the ``printing'' markup again
\dstep\item we can use SGML format for other applications
}
\end{itemize}
or even safer
\liststepwise
{%
\begin{itemize}
\dstep\item we ``discover'' the structure of the document (DTD)
\dstep\item SGML tools (nsgmls, yasp) help us to correct the source
\dstep\item we can produce the ``printing'' markup again
\dstep\item we can use SGML format for other applications
\end{itemize}
}

texpower & pdfscreen & dimmed colors
I am trying to prepare a presentation with pdfscreen and texpower but I
am unable to achieve the effect of change color from dimmed to normal
(as described in FAQ 3.2). If I use this
\begin{itemize}
\liststepwise[\let\hidestepcontens=\hidedimmed]
{
\step{\item we ``discover'' the structure of the document (DTD)}
\step{\item SGML tools (nsgmls, yasp) help us to correct the source}
\step{\item we can produce the ``printing'' markup again}
\step{\item we can use SGML format for other applications}
}
\end{itemize}
it has the same effect as if there were no parameters of \liststepwise.
I am sending a whole test file.
