Beamer fonts and lists

Hi there

I'm going through customising a Beamer theme to match the one proscribed by our corporate overlords, and I've hit upon a snag.

I can't find how to set the font colour of subitems and subsubitems.

Jones, J., Jones, M. and Johnson, K. (2007) This is the second paper ...

I've come across a problem where I have two references that could be confused if they are referred to in the abbreviated form (same first author, same year); however, the references appear in different sections of my document ...

Overlaying text on figure

The manual explains everything in detail.

Re: Overlaying text on figure

Definately looks like what I want; I'll try it out at work tomorrow.

.

Incidentally, how do you find out about these packages? Is it just a matter of knowing them? None of my searching brought up anything to do with it...
