It provides a few macros to position titles, | text, and images on slides, some typescripts to make use of | LatinModern and the TeXGyre fonts, and a few pre-defined styles that | should make your presentations visually appealing.

Seriously: we are aware that some things are not working as | expected. Our biggest and most embarrassing problem for the time being | is that the module refuses to work with XeTeX. Neither of us uses | XeTeX on a regular basis, and we're not familiar with its innards, so | we're at a loss here. If you can offer help, you will be most welcome!

| We would of course welcome feedback, bug reports, feature suggestions, | etc., so download the module at | http://modules.contextgarden.net/module/detail?name=simpleslides and | give it a whirl!

Hi all,

Thanks for this nice work; I'm doing some tests (mkiv) and for now I see no problem.

Thanks for testing. You can also run mtxrun --script simpleslides --styles=all (or --styles=<Name of style>) for testing (you need to have a styles directory at the current path). Don't forgot to go for coffee after that.

In the pdf manual however a BIG BIG (1st of april!) problem on page 16: color green is announced on the title, blue actually shown.

Thanks. Fixed in the git version. Aditya
