I found in this related topic Add Footer Text to All Slides in Beamer a nice code for footer in beamer
with the Frankfurt
theme.
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[text line]{%
\parbox{\linewidth}{\vspace*{-8pt}some text\hfill\insertshortauthor\hfill\insertpagenumber}}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
That is exactly what I need. But when I add it to my presentation I lost default "navigation" icons.
So my questions are:
- Is it possible to have footer with these icons?
- How to change background color of this footer?
Thank you very much!

beamercolorbox
es (one for the additional text, the other one for the short author and page number) to give you the possibility to customize each one separately, but of course, you could only use one and distribute the information to suit your needs.To change the color used for the
beamerbox
es, set abeamer
color and then use it in the mandatory argument forbeamercolorbox
; for example:
