Semi-transparent text in beamer (pdflatex)

I want to have some text appear semi-transparent, but not in an overlay fashion (where it eventually becomes solid) just permanently semi-transparent. To complicate matters, the text in question is part of a matrix: $ \begin{matrix} & \{-2,3,5,0,8\} & \\ \{-2,3,5,0\} & & \{-2,3,5,8\} \\ & \{-2,3,5\} & \end{matri...

Side-by-side institutes in latex beamer title page

On the title page of my Beamer presentation, I have three authors, from two institutes. The authors get listed side-by-side, which is fine.

Code listing in LaTeX beamer presentation frames

Hi, everyone, I'm trying to create a LaTeX beamer presentation that has several Java code listings.

Subfigures in beamer documents
