You're not kidding I have more motivation. My May 2010 Linux Productivity Magazine is going to be on Beamer, so I have to get it just right! That's why I'm so glad you got me past that stumbling block. Now I actually have a version whose header features red, white and blue stripes. It's amazing what you can do with colorboxes. In setting up your solution and then expanding on it, I also found out what to you is probably obvious -- that setbeamercolor's first argument isn't an element, it's a fg/bg color combination whose name just might happen to correspond to an element. Meanwhile, I need to finish my presentation for a 10 minute talk on troubleshooting at Greater Orlando Linux User Group. My plan for Linux Productivity Magazine is to do it in two different magazine issues. The first issue will do just the basics. Then readers will email me saying "here's a better way" or "Steve, you're full of bulls**t, here's how you should have done it". I'll tech edit all their suggestions and put the best ones into the second issue. SteveT Steve Litt Recession Relief Package http://www.recession-relief.US Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/stevelitt
