Hi Aditya,
Some time ago I reported an issue with LMTX regarding your visual counter (at least the version used in the simpleslides module).
Now I think I have found where the issue comes from: it is due to the fact that somehow the conditional
if PageNumber > 2 :
[some code]
fi ;
is not treated correctly, and if one removes the conditional while keeping only [some code] above, then the visual counter is shown correctly.
I am sending you the TeX file where you can see that if lines 17 and 46 are uncommented then the visual counter does not show up.
Thanks for your help: Otared K.
