[Tex/LaTex] Beamer, Citation coloring

beamerbiblatexcolorhyperref

I try to color the in-text citations in my beamer presentations. I use several citations per item, mostly via \parencite. To increase readability I want the references (including brackets) to be printed in grey. Unfortunately all the solutions and workarounds (Citation colour with Beamer + Hyperref + Natbib, Beamer: Biblatex biber, change color of citations globally and Beamer ignores citecolor from hyperref) won't do the trick. Either all the links (sections and subsections) are colored or nothing changes.

You could either set the colour for the hyperlinks with

\hypersetup{
    colorlinks,
    citecolor=green,
    linkcolor=black
}

(this will only colour the click-able part of the citation) or add the colour manually to the citation commands:

\documentclass[presentation]{beamer}

\usepackage[backend=biber, uniquename=false, maxbibnames=99, maxcitenames=2, citestyle=authoryear, bibstyle=authoryear]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{references.bib}

\DeclareCiteCommand{\cite}
  {\color{red}\usebibmacro{prenote}}%
  {\usebibmacro{citeindex}%
   \usebibmacro{cite}}
  {\multicitedelim}
  {\usebibmacro{postnote}}

\DeclareCiteCommand{\parencite}[\mkcolorbibparens]
  {\usebibmacro{prenote}}%
  {\usebibmacro{citeindex}%
   \usebibmacro{cite}}
  {\multicitedelim}
  {\usebibmacro{postnote}}

\makeatletter
\newrobustcmd{\mkcolorbibparens}[1]{%
  \begingroup
  \color{red}%
  \blx@blxinit
  \blx@setsfcodes
  \bibopenparen#1\bibcloseparen

\usepackage{filecontents}

  publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
  year =  1990,
  address = {Cambridge},
}
\end{filecontents}

[Tex/LaTex] Footnote Citation in Beamer

you may want to to try \footfullcite instead of \footcite.

[From Audrey] Adding the line:

\newrobustcmd*{\footlessfullcite}{\AtNextCite{\renewbibmacro{title}{}\renewbibmacro{in:}{}}\footfullcite}

in the preamble and the using \footlessfullcite{<entry key>} results in a nice footnote citation.

[Tex/LaTex] Beamer: how to change the mini frames coloring

To color the mini frames of slides already shown gray and the current and all future frames white, the existing solution can be modified like this:

headline of slide 7, with the previous frames colored gray and the current and future frames color white

Explanation

The decision whether a mini frame should be colored gray or white is made in ll. 39-59, where the section, subsection, and "frame in subsection" numbers of the currently processed mini frame are subsequently compared to the actual position in the presentation. This is necessary as the "absolute" frame number of the current mini frame isn't available.
