With simpleslides, you will need to create your own "style module". Currently, there is no documentation for it, but here is the gist of creating your own style. Simpleslides provides four overlays, simpleslides:background:horizontal, simpleslides:background:vertical, simpleslides:background:title, simpleslides:background:ornament. The title background is placed on the title page, the horizontal and ornamanet backgrounds are placed on all pages other than \IncludePicture[vertical] where the vertical and ornamenet backgrounds are placed. If you to place a logo at a specific position, use \startuseMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:ornament} StartPage ; metapost code to draw/place logo at a particular location StopPage ; \stopuseMPgraphic and then \defineoverlay [simpleslides:background:ornament] [\useMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:ornament}] Aditya ___ 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 ___

Do you want the same images to appear in all slides in the background (like a corporate design), or do you want to include multiple images on a single page, say two images side by side?

Vyatcheslav The cleanest way would be to write your own "submodule." It's easy; maybe just use one of the existing simpleslides-s-XXX.tex files and modify it; replace the lines \defineoverlay [simpleslides:background:horizontal] [\useMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:horizontal}] with \defineoverlay [simpleslides:background:horizontal] [{\externalfigure[][width=...]}] Last semester, for the presentations in my class, I had defined a macro that would randomly pick one out of 25 pictures for every slide. I can send you the code if you want.

Vyatcheslav Hi, no, there is not yet code for this. I usually do it "by hand," but if this is something you need/use often, it would be relatively easy to provide a macro for it.
