[Tex/LaTex] Allowed parameters to \addtobeamertemplate

beamer

Question: How do I get a complete list of the available arguments to \addtobeamertemplate?

Background: I want to modify the footline template in the Frankfurt theme. I found some sample code at How to insert page number in Beamer navigation symbols? that looks helpful:

\addtobeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}{%
   \usebeamerfont{footline}%
   \usebeamercolor[fg]{footline}%
   \hspace{1em}%
   \insertframenumber/\inserttotalframenumber
}

Googling \addtobeamertemplate I see other arguments: frametitle, footline, title page. In the Beamer documentation I see frame begin and frame end (p. 63), headline (p. 64), and logo (p. 74).

How do I get a complete list of the available arguments to \addtobeamertemplate?

The beamer documentation's index has an entry for "Beamer template" that has a long sublist of entries. I'm assuming that's a complete list.

Code

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{xifthen}
\usetheme[hideothersubsections]{PaloAlto} 
\usecolortheme{seahorse}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}

\newcommand{\insertpic}[2][scale=1]% [options], picname
{   \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
        \path (navenddummy);
        \pgfgetlastxy{\xnav}{\ynav}
        \vphantom{\hphantom{
            \node[inner sep=0pt,above right] (pictopdummy) {\includegraphics[#1]{#2}};
        }}
        \path (pictopdummy.north);
        \pgfgetlastxy{\xpic}{\ypic}
        \pgfmathtruncatemacro{\picornot}{\ypic < \ynav ? 1 : 0}
        \ifthenelse{\picornot=1}
            {\node[inner sep=0pt,above right] {\includegraphics[#1]{#2}};}
            {}
        %\node[inner sep=1pt,circle,fill=red] at (navenddummy) {};
        %\node[inner sep=1pt,circle,fill=blue] at (pictopdummy.north) {};
    \end{tikzpicture}
}

\makeatletter
\setbeamertemplate{sidebar \beamer@sidebarside}

\beamer@tempdim=\beamer@sidebarwidth%
\advance\beamer@tempdim by -6pt%

[Tex/LaTex] How to insert page number in Beamer navigation symbols

You can use something like

\addtobeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}{%
    \usebeamerfont{footline}%
    \usebeamercolor[fg]{footline}%
    \hspace{1em}%
    \insertframenumber/\inserttotalframenumber
}

and use spaces, font and boxes to adjust the alignment of the numbers with the navigation symbols.

You can change the font/color just by altering the font/color for footline as in

\setbeamercolor{footline}{fg=blue}
\setbeamerfont{footline}{series=\bfseries}
