Now I'd be so happy if someone (well I guess Hans) could teach me how to have this neat progressbar that's in pre- color on my own slides; I don't seem to be able to isolate the code that produces it.
Do you mean those "funny little things" which run from the beginning to the end as the presentation runs from the first towards the last slide? There are "PageNumber" and "NOfPages" variables defined somewhere in metafun. So you can say something like: if(NOfPages > 2) and (PageNumber > 0): fraction := (PageNumber-1)/(NOfPages-1) else: fraction := 1; fi; And then you can do with it whatever you want. You can for example change slide colour: SlideColour := fraction[\MPcolor[my color 1],\MPcolor[my color 2]]; or draw a progress bar: fill unisquare xscaled fraction xyscaled size withcolor red; draw unitsquare xyscaled size; An alternative are \pageno and \lastpage, defined inside ConTeXt. Hope this helps, Mojca
