-  This frame uses the \texttt{smallcaps} title format.

     Be aware that not every font supports small caps. If you use the Computer (or Latin) Modern Sans Serif font, for instance, text in small caps will just be typeset in a normal font.

+  \frametitle{Progress Bars}
+
+  A prominent feature of \themename is the use of progress bars to
+  visualize the progress of the presentation. \medskip
+
+  By default bars are shown on section pages, but this can be toggled
+  through \texttt{sectionpage=progressbar|simple|none} and also enabled for 
+  subsection pages through \texttt{subsectionpage=progressbar}.\medskip
+
+  
+  Finally, you can enable progress bars on frames by setting 
+  \texttt{progressbar=none|head|frametitle|foot} (depending on where
+  you'd like the bar to be placed).\medskip
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[c,fragile]
+  \frametitle{Progress Bar Customization}
+  You can customize the width of the bars using
+  \texttt{progressbar linewidth=<length>}.\medskip
+
+  On the following pages, we have set
+\begin{verbatim}\molochset{
+  progressbar=frametitle,
+  progressbar linewidth=1pt
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+  to enable progress bars below the frame title and set its width to 1pt.

+  \frametitle{The Title Page}
+
+  There is only very little customization available of the title page at the
+  time of writing.\medskip
+
+  But you can at least modify the line width of the title separator
+  by setting \texttt{titleseparator linewidth=<length>}
