Hello Thomas,
Thanks for reply.
My idea about the buttons came from student diploma presentations. One student does the presentation, while his friend turns the slides. Sometimes it's necessary to go back, so it will be handy to have buttons... But I don't insist; this may be my whim )
Well, this is a case where the buttons actually make sense, so I see why you should be interested. To give you a short description: for the moment, the page counters we have are all hard-coded into the submodules. We plan to write a submodule for these counters so they can be included with any background. This would be the moment to also include similar buttons. I must admit that I find the beamer buttons way too cluttered and would opt for something much simpler (just the three rightmost "back" "go to page" "foreward"), but of course, that's a matter of taste. Since ConTeXt has good support for such interaction, I don't think it would be too hard.
When I'm in hurry, I solve problems faster them I get solutions )) Unfortunately, I've already dropped the project I worked on (not by my will), so I loose any interest in it and don't try anything. Thanks for hinting me about this delicate matter.
Sure, now I understand. Best Thomas
