beamerslideshowthemes
I am writing a default beamer style for my slide. I wanna to define a shading box in the left side of slides and inser the section titles vertically at it. but I don't know how is it possible!!! the sidebar can be similar to "Berkeley" theme sidebar but at a different color and right side
thanks all
The Dreden theme uses as outer theme miniframes specifying that the footline is of type authorinstitutetitle
\useoutertheme[footline=authorinstitutetitle]{miniframes}
Thus, to insert the frame number (command \insertframenumber) with respect to the total frame number (command \inserttotalframenumber) we should take into account how the authorinstitutetitle is defined:
\def\beamer@theme@footline@authorinstitutetitle{
\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{miniframes theme}
{%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{upper separation line foot}
\end{beamercolorbox}
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,%
leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{author in head/foot}%
\leavevmode{\usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor}%
\hfill%
{\usebeamerfont{institute in head/foot}\usebeamercolor[fg]{institute in head/foot}\insertshortinstitute}%
\end{beamercolorbox}%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,%
leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
{\usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle}%
\end{beamercolorbox}%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{lower separation line foot}
\end{beamercolorbox}
}
}
Now, in the lower right corner there's nothing thus it is possible to exploit the space in:
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,%
leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
{\usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle}%
\end{beamercolorbox}%
by adding:
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,%
leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
{\usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle}%
\hfill%
{\usebeamerfont{frame number}\usebeamercolor[fg]{frame number}\insertframenumber~\frameofframes~\inserttotalframenumber}
Notice that as separator between the frame numbers there's a command: \frameofframes. It is defined as:
\newcommand{\frameofframes}{/}
\newcommand{\setframeofframes}[1]{\renewcommand{\frameofframes}{#1}}
This allows you to modify the standard representation (1/5 for example), with something else; for instance:
\setframeofframes{of}
will provide 1 of 5.
The code:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usetheme{Dresden}
\author{My name}
\title{My presentation}
\institute{My institute}
\newcommand{\frameofframes}{/}
\newcommand{\setframeofframes}[1]{\renewcommand{\frameofframes}{#1}}
\setframeofframes{of}
\makeatletter
\setbeamertemplate{footline}
{%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{upper separation line foot}
\end{beamercolorbox}
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,%
leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{author in head/foot}%
\leavevmode{\usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor}%
\hfill%
{\usebeamerfont{institute in head/foot}\usebeamercolor[fg]{institute in head/foot}\insertshortinstitute}%
\end{beamercolorbox}%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,%
leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
{\usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle}%
\hfill%
{\usebeamerfont{frame number}\usebeamercolor[fg]{frame number}\insertframenumber~\frameofframes~\inserttotalframenumber}
\end{beamercolorbox}%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{lower separation line foot}
\end{beamercolorbox}
}

One frame as result:
How about using \useoutertheme[hideothersubsections,left]{sidebar}? This will only show the subsections of the current section.

For themes which - unlike the image you show in your question - have a colour shaded background:
