In beamer, I'm using \setbeamercovered{transparent} to show "covered" elements transparently before they appear in full. However, I find the transparent text too opaque.

How can I adjust the opacity / transparency / alpha of the covered elements?

MWE

\documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{lipsum} \setbeamercovered{transparent} % desired command to control the level of opacity \begin{document} \begin{frame} \pause \lipsum[1] \end{frame} \end{document}

    You can use \setbeamercovered{transparent=⟨percentage⟩}, where ⟨percentage⟩ is between 0 and 100. Quoting the manual, You can specify a different ⟨percentage⟩, where 0 means “totally transparent” and 100 means “totally opaque". Commented Jun 2, 2020 at 2:18

    I've used \setbeamercovered{transparent} before and can't recommend it. It's distracting for the audience and it doesn't play well if you have images that also use transparency. Commented Jun 2, 2020 at 6:53

The beamer manual says on p. 194

Here is an illustration.

\documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{pgffor} % desired command to control the level of opacity \begin{document} \foreach \X in {0,10,...,100} {\setbeamercovered{transparent=\X} \begin{frame}[t] \frametitle{\texttt{\textbackslash setbeamercovered\{transparent=\X\}}} \pause \lipsum[1] \end{frame}} \end{document}
