I'm using the beamer miniframes
outer theme (with subsection=false). Currently the navigation shows navigation dots below each section name. I would prefer it if the dots came to the right the section name. Is this possible?
Right now it looks like:
Sec 1 Sec 2
o o o o o o o o
But I want it to look like:
Sec 1 o o o o Sec 2 o o o o
MWE:
\documentclass{beamer}
\useoutertheme[subsection=false]{miniframes}
\begin{document}
\section{Sec 1}
\subsection{}
\begin{frame}[t]
hi
\end{frame}
\end{document}`

This can be obtained by patching the internal
beamer
commands responsible for creating the mini frame navigation:This hack moves the mini frames one line up* and (length of the section title + 2pt) units to the right, to end up in the desired position:
I have also added the
compress
option to the minimal working example, as if you have multiple subsections in your presentation, it may look strange if each subsection starts in a new line.*To be more precise, it's one line plus
1.2\pgflinewidth
: The default circular mini frames descend exactly the amount of\pfglinewidth
below the baseline, so I raised them to be a tiny amount above the baseline. You may have to play around with this value a little, especially if you use another mini frame style (box
,tick
) than the default circle.
