Beamer Environments – Beamer Block Environment Without Title

Question

Is it possible to create a customised beamer block environment that only has a body and not a title?

For example, I wish to typeset the following quote within a coloured block so that it stands out but I have no need for the block's title. I just want the quote to be superimposed on a coloured, rounded, and shadowed box.

\begin{example}
{\large ``To be, or not to be: that is the question.''}
\vskip5mm
\hspace*\fill{\small--- William Shakespeare, Hamlet}
\end{example}

If not, are there suggestions for how to do this in another package, like tikz?

Answer 1

You could use an exampleblock environment with empty title:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Warsaw}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\begin{exampleblock}{}
  {\large ``To be, or not to be: that is the question.''}
  \vskip5mm
  \hspace*\fill{\small--- William Shakespeare, Hamlet}
\end{exampleblock}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
