I have a notebook with a docked cell displaying a banner with some graphics. When I convert this notebook to the Slide Show the banner is nicely displayed on each slide. But the Navigation Toolbar is not visible, apparently covered by my docked cell. How to display both, the Navigation Toolbar and my graphical banner in the Slide Show?

@Mike thanks! I knew that one can dock a few cells but I could not find how to call for this SlideShowToolbar. Now I have found it! It is given by FEPrivate`FrontEndResource["FEExpressions", "SlideshowToolbar"] So my problem is solved. – Marek Pfutzner Oct 15 '12 at 21:40

Here's a version which uses Inherited to pull the slide show's docked cell in. Unfortunately, there's a bug when Inherited references an empty value where it shows some needless whitespace. So this version uses Dynamic to detect the ScreenStyleEnvironment and switch its behavior accordingly.

With[{mycell = Cell["Boo!", "DockedCell"]},
 nb = NotebookCreate[ScreenStyleEnvironment -> "SlideShow", 
   DockedCells -> 
    Dynamic[If[
      CurrentValue[EvaluationNotebook[], ScreenStyleEnvironment] === 
       "SlideShow", {Inherited, mycell}, mycell]]]]

If you want your cell to precede the slideshow's docked cell instead, just flip the order of Inherited and mycell in the list. If you switch to the Working environment, then only your cell will show up.
