That is in fact a really nice looking document in your sig, and is
exactly what I'd want from a LaTeX class, just a little bit of colour
here and there really lightens things up.

I thought beamer was for presentations? I guess there's nothing
stopping you from using it to create normal documents as well, and
benefiting from some of the colour if not the presentation-specific
commands? Did you create your example document with beamer or by
changing classes using xcolor?
