I am using a picture as a background for beamer slides. I would like to have my name and page numbers at the bottom of the slide. I do not like the bottom bar to cover the background image. Is it possible to make the bottom bar in transparent colour with names and page numbers visible?
These are themes I am using in the example:
\usetheme{Boadilla}
\usefonttheme{structurebold}
\usecolortheme{seagull}

Here is a solution based on the redefinition of the footline, and the use of
\pgfsetfillopacity{<value>}
(0=transparent, 1=opaque).MWE
Output Obviously you will have to add your background picture but the grey bars are gone and they should be transparent!
