To be fair, currently this > is also the case. However, beamer supports many more arguments than the one you mentioned. Adding separate insets to all of these is not possible. Also, there's this important issue: - Frame titles are added to the Outliner. They can be navigated via the TOC and re-arranged via the outliner. This is a pretty crucial feature I personally wouldn't want to miss. I have pondered more than once over Günter's proposal, and the more I think about it, the more I think that this would be just substituting one hack with another one. What we need is a suitable UI for frames, something that is to be developed yet. Jürgen
