Hi experts,

I'm thinking about a new presentation style and need some general advice from 
the TeXperts. I would like to have a list of topics on some area of the slide 
(similar to s-pre-19.tex). However, if at all possible, I would like it to be a 
bit fancier. Let's say I want the list of topics typeset in gray frames in a 
black font, but the current topic in a blue frame with a white font. Would this 
be possible with something like \definelist? Is there any notion of 
"currentlistitem" or "currentmarking" in such lists? Or, even better: would it 
be possible to have access to the single members of a list and maybe compare 
them to a current value and then typeset them accordingly? Something like this 
pseudocode:

for member in topiclist do
  if member == currentvalue
     <some fancy framing and metapost stuff with member>
  else
     <less fancy but still nice-looking metapost stuff>
  end
end

Or am I trying to reinvent the wheel here? I would be happy to hear any ideas 
on that. 

All best

Thomas
