Hi,

I am using beamer for a presentation. When I do a \pause in a slide,
the text after it is grayed out, but still visible on the projector. I
find that a distraction and would like to make it completely
disappear. As I use pure white background, making the text after
\pause white also does the job. The closest thing I can find in the
user guide is \setbeamercovered, which doesn't seem to do the job.
Anyone has suggestions? Thank you!

Regards,

\setbeamercovered{invisible} at the beginning of your document should
work. I suppose you're working with a pre-defined theme, which
includes \setbeamercovered{transparent}. When creating your
presentation from nothing, invisibility of items to come is default.
Whatever, p.176 of the Beamer manual displays what you need.

Well, that would depend on what option you pass to it.
\setbeamercovered{invisible} looks like it should work. Make sure you
do this _after_ loading all your themes, some re-set it to something
else.
