1007 \begin_layout Enumerate
1008 \begin_inset Flex Structure
1011 \begin_layout Plain Layout
1017 is a frame without a sidebar/header (such as this one).

1022 \begin_layout Enumerate
1023 \begin_inset Flex Structure
1026 \begin_layout Plain Layout

1037 \begin_inset Quotes erd

1303 Basically, the overlay concept allows to change the slide content dynamically.
1304 You can uncover things/text piecewise, fade out content, highlight things,
1305 replace text, images etc.

1314 \begin_inset Argument 1
1317 \begin_layout Plain Layout
1323 Overlays are useful to build up slides as you speak
1326 \begin_layout Itemize
1327 They help you to shift your audience's focus on specific things
1330 \begin_layout Itemize
1331 And they help your audience to follow you

1366 \begin_layout Plain Layout
1376 \begin_inset Flex Structure
1379 \begin_layout Plain Layout
1385 provides many different overlay types.
1386 The most important ones are:
1390 \begin_layout Description
1392 \begin_inset space ~
1395 content: Stuff that is completely invisible up to a point
1398 \begin_layout Description
1400 \begin_inset space ~
1403 content: Stuff that is faded out (not completely invisible)
1406 \begin_layout Description
1408 \begin_inset space ~
1411 content: Stuff that is somehow emphasized at a certain point
1416 We give examples for these types in what follows, but begin with some general

1793 The difference between
1794 \begin_inset Quotes eld
1798 \begin_inset Quotes erd
1802 \begin_inset Quotes eld
1806 \begin_inset Quotes erd
1809 is that hidden content is treated as if it isn't there, while covered content
1810 is just covered (and the space is reserved).
1811 If we would have hidden the quote on the last slide and not covered, it
1812 would only have taken space on appearance:
1817 \begin_inset Argument 1

1826 Ich weiss nicht, was ich will
1830 ich will nicht, was ich weiss
1834 im Sommer ist mir kalt
