recently I ha dto quickly put together few presentations for online meetings and not knowing better (aka quicker) way, I took/installed LyX on my Fedora machine. The process is not so smooth and end result is OK if we forgive ourselves that all Beamer presentations are looking almost the same.
Agreed. I find that all beamer presentations look the same and it can be difficult to change the look and feel of beamer presentations.
However, I'm not into diving deep into Beamer package studying/learning it more thoroughly anticipating that soon I'd have to do the same thing with some other package. :-)
Otoh, ConTeXt is a different league and learning it will pay for itself in the long run.
However, in order to be at least somewhat productive, I need some help so I can have some starter and not postponing learning ConTeXt ad infinitum, so I'm attaching small Beamer sample and wonder if someone can help by providing somewhat similar thing for ConText? (no need for all the graphic - I'm more concerned with proper overlays and having content in more than single column).
A presentation is just a regular document with small margins and some color :-) Here is an old blog post on how to get to a decent presentation layout step-by-step. https://adityam.github.io/context-blog/post/presentation-40-commits-redux/ I also extensively use layers for absolute placement of content, which is more powerful than the simple two columns which beamer provides.
