[Tex/LaTex] Different colors for beamergotobutton and beamerreturnbutton

Question

In This thread, @luigi_tiburzi shows how to change the color of a beamer button, i.e.,

\setbeamercolor{button}{fg=black,bg=red}

Unfortunately it changes both the goto and return buttons

I tried the obvious thing:

\setbeamercolor{beamerreturnbutton}{fg=black,bg=red}
\setbeamercolor{beamergotobutton}{fg=black,bg=blue}

Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

The different buttons don't have individual colors, so just \setbeamercolor won't work.

But you can redefine one of the button commands and set the colors therein.

\documentclass{beamer}

\setbeamercolor{button}{fg=white,bg=blue}
\renewcommand{\beamerreturnbutton}[1]{%
    \begingroup% keep color changes local
    \setbeamercolor{button}{fg=black,bg=red}%
    \beamerbutton{\insertreturnsymbol#1}% original definition
    \endgroup
    }

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Colorful Buttons}
\beamergotobutton{Goto 1}

\beamerreturnbutton{Return}

\beamergotobutton{Goto 2}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
