You could just add one or the other to the title of each relevant slide -- maybe
in a funky typeface or color, perhaps in a shadowed box.  I'd flush it to the
right.  Alternatively, you could add a small graphic to the title, maybe a
picture of a tool for the application and a picture of someone napping for the
theory?

Alternating Context in a Beamer Presentation

2010-04-05 Thread Srinivas Nedunuri
I am putting together a beamer presentation in which I alternate between a 
running example and the theory behind the example. How can I get this to 
reflect in the slides? Ideally I'd like something like "Theory" to appear on 
theory slides and "Example" on example slides. Section headings won't really 
do the trick because of the alternation. If that's not possible (or even if 
it is) is there a way to get Lyx to change the background color of a slide 
or some other cue to let the audience know?

thanks
