Dear Guillaume,On 2016-04-12, Guillaume Munch wrote:I do not really like the current way of doing beamer presentations with LyX so I have written an alternate layout that relies on flex insets for frames and columns, which I find more convenient. Please anybody tell me if they are interested or curious, as I might make the effort of packaging it.I've started a similar approach (based on experience with my seminar.layout), so yes, I am interested in sharing.
Here's beamer-flex.layout, beamer-flex.module and an example document (the original conference template). The goal is to replace the various Frame, Block and Columns styles with corresponding flex insets all the while inheriting the original layout for all the rest. These are now found in Insert > Custom insets. I have already used it successfully to prepare a few talks and found that flex insets let me focus on the contents. In addition, the module can be used on top of the original beamer.layout to have both methods at the same time, for instance for converting a beamer presentation into the new layout. I have additional tweaks such as making the frame title automatically match the subsection title, but I did not include it in the attached. I am interested in any feedback that you may have.
