[Tex/LaTex] How to number slides in the beamer theme Hannover

beamer

I used the package beamer outer theme split numbered to make it for themes with navigation. But the theme Hannover is different. Is re-defining the footline the only choice, or is there some other convenient way?

Update: the solutions like

\useoutertheme{infolines}

\setbeamertemplate{footline}{\insertframenumber/\inserttotalframenumber}

can both do the job, but not so grace as I expect. Both of them will ruin the layout of Hannover. It is better to put the page number on the bottom of the left column, or at the left side of the navigation row.

If you only want to have the slide numbers in the footer, I use this (I adapted Matthews code):

\documentclass{beamer}
\title{Test of Hannover with slide numbers}
\usetheme{Hannover}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[frame number]

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\maketitle
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item Abel
\item Baker
\item Charlie
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

Update

After the edit to the question, no predefined option is given to obtain the desired result, but you can use

\makeatletter
\beamer@nav@subsectionstyle{show/hide/hide}
\makeatother

A complete example:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Hannover}

\makeatletter
\beamer@nav@subsectionstyle{show/hide/hide}
\makeatother


\begin{document}

\section{Test section one}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsection{Test subsection one one}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsubsection{Test subsubsection one one one}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsection{Test subsection one two}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsubsection{Test subsubsection one two one}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}

\section{Test section two}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsection{Test subsection two one}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsubsection{Test subsubsection two one one}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsection{Test subsection two two}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsubsection{Test subsubsection two two one}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}

\end{document}

Simply use the hideothersubsections for the theme:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme[hideothersubsections]{Hannover}

\begin{document}

\section{A first test section}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsection{A test subsection}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsubsection{A test subsubsection}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsection{A test subsection}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsubsection{A test subsubsection}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}

\section{A second test section}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsection{A test subsection}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsubsection{A test subsubsection}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsection{A test subsection}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}
\subsubsection{A test subsubsection}
\begin{frame} test frame in section~\thesection\end{frame}

\end{document}
