Hi,
once again, thank you very much for your help.
@Hans
Most of those presentation styles were used at tex user group meetings and in
those cases I often use new (or experimental) functionality, i.e. hooking in
extentions and such; in the transition from mkii to mkiv some of the hacks

Thank you very much for your clarifications!
To summarize...
1. The use of additional modules may be nice (as Sietse proposed the
complex-slides module), but ConTeXt can achieve very flexible solutions
even without these modules.
2. Although the production of slides was not the main issue of my
Hi Keith,
thank you for your open comments. You exactly understood the questions
that I am asking right now. Would it be a good idea to switch to ConTeXt?
Yes, I do not have (and I do not want to have) a deeper understanding of
proper TeX. Well, I have Knuth's TeXbook in my shelf, but it is
You can ignore everything Keith said and you will be just fine.

Hello Sietse,
thank you for your proposal.
I guess that there is not a lack of options here.
However, my problem may be simpler than I had described in the
first place. I am not so much concerned with using a specific
slide layout (be it s-pre-05 or some fancy simple- or complexslide
layout),

Hi Thomas,
In your original post you stated that stated that you have be using LaTeX for
your work.
That would suggest to me that you are not proficient with TeX proper. ConTeXt
runs, in my
opinion, along the lines of TeX proper. That is you need intimate knowledge of
TeX. Furthermore,

I am kind of confused about the relationship between luatex and ConTeXt.

This is tremendously helpful for all of us who use ConTeXt to do our slides.

Hello Thomas,
Just to widen your options a bit: I have greatly enjoyed using the
\complexslides module by Aditya (and co?). I've attached an example
document, which shows inter alia how easy it is to override a design
component. (The fontscheme, in this case.)

Hi,
after using LaTeX for article writing, presentations (beamer) and posters for
about 15 years I wanted to try ConTeXt last week. I am not sure whether I
installed all components correctly, so I tried to compile different simple test
files. As I don't understand the error messages, I would
