I'm using the "Warsaw theme" in my beamer slides, so how could I
thanks.
You could use an exampleblock environment with empty title:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{exampleblock}{}
{\large ``To be, or not to be: that is the question.''}
\vskip5mm
\hspace*\fill{\small--- William Shakespeare, Hamlet}
\end{exampleblock}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
You could use something like this:
\documentclass{beamer}
\newlength\bodywd
\setlength\bodywd{.95\linewidth}
\setbeamercolor{block title}{fg=olive,bg=olive!20}
\setbeamercolor{block body}{fg=blue,bg=blue!20}
\setbeamertemplate{block begin}{%
\vskip.75ex%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[rounded=true,leftskip=1cm,colsep*=.75ex]{block title}%
\usebeamerfont*{block title}\insertblocktitle%
\end{beamercolorbox}%
\vskip.5ex %
\usebeamerfont{block body}%
\hspace*{.5\dimexpr\linewidth-\bodywd\relax}%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=\bodywd,colsep*=.75ex,sep=.75ex,vmode]{block body}%
}
\setbeamertemplate{block end}{%
\end{beamercolorbox}%
\hfill\null%
}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{block}{The Title}
text
\end{block}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
The idea is to keep the width of body block in an auxiliar length \bodywd and to add, before the block, a horizontal space given by 0.5(\linewidth-\bodywd).

Warsaw internally uses
beamerboxesroundedwhich applies thebmb@transitionshading to add color between the title and the body parts of blocks. Here's the original definition (found in the filebeamerbaseboxes.sty):Change that definition to suppress the transition effect.
To suppress the shading, redefine the blocks template using
