beamer | Deemphasizing Text

Post by latexhelp1 » Mon Feb 06, 2012 7:13 pm

I have a slide in Beamer for which I'd like to have part of it deemphasized. By deemphasized, I mean make the text appear lighter in color, perhaps gray, perhaps as a shadow.

For example, see p. 22 in the PDF of the following:

(File "BurchardiHassan2010_Slides.pdf")

Below if my current code. I'd like all of the text demphasized EXCEPT for the lines

\textbf \begin \item Clarification 1 \item Clarification 2 \end

Here is the full code. I pray that it is a minimum working example. I'm also attaching the .pdf.

\documentclass[professionalfont] \mode \usetheme \useoutertheme \beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty \begin \addtocounter \section*<> \frame < \frametitle\textbf \begin \item Clarification 1 \item Clarification 2 \end \vspace 2. Section 2 \vspace 3. Section 3 \vspace 4. Section 4 \vspace 5. Section 5 > \section \subsection<> \end

I'd like to have Sections 2 - 5 deemphasized.

I very much appreciate any help you can provide.
