Hello Thomas,
Thanks for reply.
My idea about the buttons came from student diploma presentations. One
student does the presentation, while his friend turns the slides.
Sometimes it's necessary to go back, so it will be handy to have
buttons... But I don't insist; this may be my whim )
When I'm in hurry, I solve problems faster them I get solutions ))
Unfortunately, I've already dropped the project I worked on (not by my
will), so I loose any interest in it and don't try anything. Thanks for
hinting me about this delicate matter.

Well, this is a case where the buttons actually make sense, so I see
why you should be interested. To give you a short description: for the
moment, the page counters we have are all hard-coded into the
submodules. We plan to write a submodule for these counters so they
can be included with any background. This would be the moment to also
include similar buttons. I must admit that I find the beamer buttons
way too cluttered and would opt for something much simpler (just the
three rightmost "back" "go to page" "foreward"), but of course, that's
a matter of taste. Since ConTeXt has good support for such
interaction, I don't think it would be too hard.

Sure, now I understand.
Best

Well, for one thing, the module clearly says in its manual that this
is not its aim: "The module is meant for presentations which will be
shown on a digital projector. They have no interactive elements (such
as buttons or hyperlinks) and no navigational tools (such as table of
contents)." Hence the name "simple-slides." I have never understood
what these navigation buttons are good for when I watched
presentations. But of course, if users think it's a good idea, Aditya
and I may consider adding them.
And another thing that's on my mind: Vyatcheslav, you have been asking
a ton of questions lately. You have received quite a few answers, but
you have never replied (unless to ask further questions). I'm not
complaining about a lack of manners, but it would be good to know if
your problem has been solved, if the solutions work etc.
Thomas

something alike to Simpleslides.
