Personally, I think something like this would be excellent, if you could

improved beamer support and which would presumably help a lot.
Great! Is there a developer who worked more than others on beamer?
Jurgen. The changes have to do with the way environment arguments are
handled, mostly. But the whole beamer structure has been re-written.
I wonder if it would be possible to get the HTML source for the slide
and use that?
Mh, not sure about that, we could do something like that but we'd need
QtWebKit, which is a quite heavy dependency.
Right.
Beamer themes are generally found in certain standard locations. Since LyX knows
about all the style files that are installed (we display them at Tools>TeX
Information), it would be easy enough to find the beamer styles and let people
choose one.
Perfect then. However I also want to offer the ability to manually point
to theme file, as actually I'm not a real fan of beamer's standard
themes. :)
Even your custom themes are known to LyX, if they are in your local TeX
tree. E.g., mine are at $HOME/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/themes/, and LyX
sees them there. But you could also allow the choice of an arbitrary file.
