I know about beamer's feature \setbeamercovered{invisible} and \setbeamercovered{transparent} to hide or grey out upcoming item's . But is there some way to have past items greyed (transparent) and future items hidden (invisible), so that only the current item is black/highlighted? And the best would be if on or 1 slide after the last all the item's could be visible highlighted. Something like this:

  • [grey] past 1
  • [grey] past 2
  • current
  • [hidden] future 1
  • [hidden] future 2
  • [hidden] future 3

Is there any easy way of doing this?

From the beamer manual, section 17.6 (Transparency Effects), use \setbeamercovered to set the default cover behavior, and override it for old items with the again covered option.

\documentclass{beamer}
\setbeamercovered{invisible}
\setbeamercovered{%
  again covered={\opaqueness<1->{15}}}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}[<+>]
\item Apple
\item Peach
\item Plum
\item Orange
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
