I'm a newbie with powerdot and the little I've used it looks great. However, I have a problem. I'm using the default style. I have an itemized list containing equations, and I want the equation number to have the inactive colour (grey) until the item is activated. Using the minimal file below the equation number gets the active colour (blue) although the items containing the equations are not activated. 1. How can I get the equation number to have the inactive colour until the respective item is actived? 2. Also, I want to change the colour of one items (the third item in the example below) that also contains an equation. Here there are two problems. First, the last two items don't appear at all until the third item is activated. a. How can I get them to appear in the inactive colour until active? Second, the colour of the equation number in item 3 isn't the one (red) I have set. b. How can I get this changed from the inactive colour (once problem 2a above is solved) to the set colour? I read the archives and the manual and didn't find an answer to my problem. I toyed around with the \onslide commands in vain. Can someone help me out with this? Thanks.
