To give you a short description: for the moment, the page counters we have are all hard-coded into the submodules. We plan to write a submodule for these counters so they can be included with any background. This would be the moment to also include similar buttons. I must admit that I find the beamer buttons way too cluttered and would opt for something much simpler (just the three rightmost "back" "go to page" "foreward"), but of course, that's a matter of taste. Since ConTeXt has good support for such interaction, I don't think it would be too hard. When I'm in hurry, I solve problems faster them I get solutions )) Unfortunately, I've already dropped the project I worked on (not by my will), so I loose any interest in it and don't try anything.

Hello Thomas, Thanks for reply. My idea about the buttons came from student diploma presentations. One student does the presentation, while his friend turns the slides.

Thanks for hinting me about this delicate matter. Vyatcheslav Btw, I most like small navigation buttons in the bottom ) Good idea to something alike to Simpleslides. Well, for one thing, the module clearly says in its manual that this is not its aim: "The module is meant for presentations which will be shown on a digital projector. They have no interactive elements (such as buttons or hyperlinks) and no navigational tools (such as table of contents)." Hence the name "simple-slides." I have never understood what these navigation buttons are good for when I watched presentations. But of course, if users think it's a good idea, Aditya and I may consider adding them. And another thing that's on my mind: Vyatcheslav, you have been asking a ton of questions lately. You have received quite a few answers, but you have never replied (unless to ask further questions). I'm not complaining about a lack of manners, but it would be good to know if your problem has been solved, if the solutions work etc. Thomas ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

You would need to figure out the metapost code to draw those curves¹, and then use them as backgrounds. Read the details in the other email that I sent. Aditya ¹ This presentation is made using beamer. If you can find the beamer style file, then it should be straight forward to translate the tikz/pgf code to metapost code to draw the background. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
