I was writing a talk and I had a long example where it would have been useful to look at the most recent few steps.
Some solution that I was not completely happy with was to have the most recent block appear from the bottom, and the rest gets pushed to the top.
I considered doing a "newsfeed"-style overlay where "new blocks" would appear on top. Kind of like a Facebook and Twitter feed. I have working code here:
\documentclass[t]{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\only<3->{
\begin{block}{March 8}
Happy International Women's Day!
\end{block}
}
\only<2->{
\only<3->{\pgfsetfillopacity{0.5}}
\begin{block}{February 14}
Happy Valentines!
\end{block}
}
\only<1->{
\only<2->{\pgfsetfillopacity{0.5}}
\begin{block}{January 1}
Happy New Year!
\end{block}
}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
One gripe I have of this is I have to manually type in the overlay numbers.
Might there be a way to make this happen? An answer in which "New Year" comes first in the code will also be appreciated.
