[Tex/LaTex] creating title page in latex beamer

beamertitles

I'm working with Latex Beamer for my first time and I have a question regarding my title page. At the moment, it looks like this:

enter image description here

I want to delete the grey box around my title and also the headline, but only on my titlepage, not on the other slides.

Does anybody know how this might work?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best,
Kathi

Here is my working example (at the moment I still try to modify the layout, so I have almost no content):

\documentclass[12pt]{beamer} 
\usetheme{Dresden} 
\usecolortheme{beaver} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} 
\usepackage[german]{babel} 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 
\usepackage{amsmath} 
\usepackage{amsfonts} 
\usepackage{amssymb} 
\usepackage{graphicx} 

\author{K} 
\title{Title} 
\date{\today} 
%\setbeamercovered{transparent} 
%\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{} 
%\logo{} 
%\institute{} 
%\date{} 
%\subject{} 

\begin{document}
    %\begin{frame} %\tableofcontents %\end{frame}

    \frame{\titlepage}

    \begin{frame} \frametitle{\"Ubersicht} \tableofcontents \end{frame}

    \section{Introduction} 

\begin{frame}{Introduction} 
\begin{itemize}

\end{frame} 
\begin{frame} {test} 
\end{frame} 

\subsection{Participants} 
\begin{frame} {test} 
\end{frame} 
\begin{frame} {test} 
\end{frame} 

\section{Results}

  • to remove the headline either use the plain option for this frame (this will remove the footline as well) or temporarily set the the headline template to empty.

  • to remove the grey box, set the title background colour either to empty or to white.

  • Off-topic, but you don't need graphicx with beamer, as beamer already provides this functionality.
