Hi, I'm starting a presentation with ConTeXt.
I'd like to visually differentiate each section, so I've come up with
two complementary approaches to do that:
* Use a different color palette for each section, and
* Mark the progress bar to indicate the start of each section.
I've done an small example (at the end) but:
* Last Subject of a Topic take color from next Topic. (e.g. "Some
greenB")
* I don't like interactionBar styles provided.
I'd like something like:
|-----|-|-----|--|------
(horizontal line and a vertical line at the begin of each section and a
vertical line of different color for current position)
other option I like:
######%%@@@@@@HHH&&&&&&&
(each letter represents a color. It's a bar with colors marking size of
text. So it's a series of color rectangles with colors for each section
and a vertical line for current position)
The main problems are:
* How can I pass the first page of each section to MetaPost?
* How can I protect background color of SomeGreenB to be green and not
blue?
Thanks.
