Some of that is in Beamer, but you're correct that some of this involves figuring out the Org-mode analog to the Beamer syntax. Transitions, for example, go in the frame property drawer, and the possible properties/values are listed in the manual. Transition buttons are typically at the theme level, and that's documented countless places online. I've had a lot of trouble getting infolines to do what I want. I just gave up on using themes that have them because I find the "mini TOC" distracting and of little value to the presentation. Honestly, I wonder if the audience is looking at those dots trying to gauge how much presentation is left to go. > Googling, I managed to do most of this stuff (though I didn't figure out > yet how to grey out images), but I thought it would be nice to have a > real (or a mock one) presentation available somewhere, which uses a lot > of the usual stuff that we do for presentations, together with the > source code, so that customizing my own presentation could be probably > easier. Looking around, there aren't *that* many options to do this in straight Beamer. TikZ came up as one way, and others seemed to simply use a second image (create two duplicate frames, one with the grayed version and the second with the real image). Neither would be particularly difficult via Org.
