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}]

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.

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[your_figure][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.
