beamercolortable of contents
Does anyone know how to change the color scheme and/or bullets used in Beamer's table of contents (without changing the overall structure color or theme)? Unfortunately, the following doesn't work:
\setbeamertheme{enumerate item}[default]
\setbeamercolor{enumerate item}{black}
I would even be fine removing the numbering altogether.
You can use local structure to cause the colour inheritance:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{CambridgeUS}
\setbeamercolor{item projected}{bg=darkred}
\setbeamertemplate{enumerate items}[default]
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}
\setbeamercolor{block title}{fg=darkred}
\setbeamercolor{local structure}{fg=darkred}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{block}{A block}
\begin{enumerate}
\item First item.
\begin{itemize}
\item First subitem.
\begin{enumerate}
\item First subsubitem.
\end{enumerate}
\end{itemize}
\end{enumerate}
\end{block}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
You can set the section in toc, subsection in toc templates; something along these lines:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Madrid}
\setbeamertemplate{section in toc}{\hspace*{1em}\inserttocsection}
\setbeamertemplate{subsection in toc}{\hspace*{2em}\inserttocsubsection}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Outline}
\tableofcontents
\end{frame}
\section{Test section}
\begin{frame}
test
\end{frame}
\subsection{Test subsection}
\begin{frame}
test
\end{frame}
\end{document}
or simply, if no additional indentation is needed,
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Madrid}
\setbeamertemplate{sections/subsections in toc}[default]
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Outline}
\tableofcontents
\end{frame}
\section{Test section}
\begin{frame}
test
\end{frame}
\subsection{Test subsection}
\begin{frame}
test
\end{frame}
\end{document}
The solutions above will remove both the balls and the section numbering; if only the balls used are to be removed, but keeping the section numbering, you can use the following:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Madrid}
\setbeamertemplate{sections/subsections in toc}[sections numbered]
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Outline}
\tableofcontents
\end{frame}
\section{Test section}
\begin{frame}
test
\end{frame}
\subsection{Test subsection}
\begin{frame}
test
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Modify font/color of the element section number projected. An example doing some changes, not necessarily beautiful but demonstrating:
