As mentioned on the wiki, I tried to install taspresent module by running ./first-setup.sh --extras="t-taspresent" in the terminal. A lot of things happened and then I ran luatools --generate and then context --make. Then I tried to compile the file \usemodule[taspresent][style=blackblue] \starttext This is a presentation \stoptext This gives me just a plain page with the line "This is a presentation". The log window says that "module taspresent not found". Before I did all the above, I also installed taspresent manually in the ~/Library/texmf/tex/context/taspresent folder. I downloaded the .zip file from ctan and unzipped it inside the taspresent folder mentioned above. Still no success. How do I use taspresent? Thanks very much.
I figured out how and where to install the taspresent module. Now when I try to compile the file it loads the module. However, I do not get any of the colors or the frames. For example, the following code does not give me any color. It does though take out the page numbers and sets the correct papersize. Other than that everything is as if it is a plain text file. The presentation I am trying is \usemodule[taspresent][style=bluegray] \starttext A presentation \stoptext Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? Thanks very much.
Hi Thomas, Hi all,
Curious is right, no colors here too, with [style=BlueGray], even with
the demo.tex from the module archive.

Hi all,
to be more precise, there seems to be no backgrounds at all.

Yes you're right, and I'm very sorry for spreading misinformation: I have now looked at it, and for a reason I cannot see, the bluegray style is loaded, but doesn't work. AFAICS, the other styles work. Since the taspresent module is being phased out, I can only say: use the styles that work, and switch to the new simpleslides module as soon as it comes out (or even now if you can live with it). Thomas
Thanks Thomas and Lutz. Now that I have figured out how to manually install the third party modules, I can try the simpleslides module. Aditya and Thomas, thanks very much for providing us with these modules. Just for information, I wanted to inform you that some other styles, such as blackblue, embossed, doubleframe also do not work in taspresent. Perhaps, it might be better to update this information on the wiki where we have third-party modules, so that others do not go through the whole process of downloading and trying the taspresent module. Thanks.
