Hi Leo, Apologies for the slow response.
I am not a Beamer or org-mode wizard, so I may have misunderstood something. I'm trying to produce presentations using a corporate style file that defines new environments for different slide types and would like to use different environments in the same document. Some of these follow document structure, like the new chapter slide we use to delimit sections, but most relate to aesthetics(Picture only slide, Any Questions slide or invert theme colours slide). It would be useful for me to be able to override the environment so that I can specify the slide type I would like.
