Using the beamer class: When I put the page number in the footline next to a navigation icon they align on the bottom of their bounding box. Unfortunately the navigation bounding box is bigger than my text so they end up at different heights. But I would like to align them center in order to get them on the same height. I tried to shift the sheet numbers up a bit in various ways I could think of, but I failed.
(Allmost)-minimal working example:
\documentclass{beamer}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{} %disable standard navigation
\setbeamercolor{footlinecolor}{fg=white,bg=black} %set color of footline
\setbeamercolor{navigation symbols dimmed}{fg=gray} %redefine color of dimmed aspects of navigation bar
\setbeamercolor{navigation symbols}{fg=red} %this is ignored somehow
%define custom footline
\setbeamertemplate{footline}{
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=1.6cm,wd=\paperwidth]{footlinecolor}
\vspace{1.1cm}
\hfill
\fbox{
\insertframenavigationsymbol
\insertsectionnavigationsymbol
}
\fbox{
\tiny{\insertframenumber{} of \inserttotalframenumber}
}
\end{beamercolorbox}
}

Ah just found the answer: Put both elements in their own minipage and give them the [c] option:
