[Tex/LaTex] latex beamer title color font size

beamercolorfontsgraphics

How can one change title, color, and font size in the beamer package ?

My MWE is:

\documentclass[10pt]{beamer}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{charter}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{wallpaper}
\usepackage{IEEEtrantools}

%\setbeamerfont{subsection in toc}{size=\tiny}

\setlength{\footnotesep}{0pt}
\newcounter{saveenumi}
\newcommand{\seti}{\setcounter{saveenumi}{\value{enumi}}}
\newcommand{\conti}{\setcounter{enumi}{\value{saveenumi}}}
\resetcounteronoverlays{saveenumi}

%% Title slide formatting %%

\pgfdeclareimage[width=\paperwidth]{titlebackground}{put here any image}
\setbeamerfont{subtitle}{size=\tiny}
\setbeamertemplate{title page}{

  \begin{picture}(0,0)
  \put(-28.5,-163){%
    \pgfuseimage{titlebackground}
  } 
 \put(0,-75){%    

   \begin{minipage}[b][4.5cm][t]{0.65\textwidth}
   \color{white}            
 \usebeamerfont{title}                
   {\inserttitle\\[0.9cm]}              
 \usebeamerfont{subtitle}

 {\insertauthor\par}

Best Answer

To change the title font size, you can use the exact same mechanism as you already do for the subtitle: \setbeamerfont{title}{size=\Huge}

The colour is a bit trickier as you define your title page yourself. If you add \usebeamercolor[fg]{title} to your custom title page, then you can change the colour via \setbeamercolor{title}{fg=blue}

Of-topic: you don't need graphicx with beamer and instead of multicol and wallpaper beamer has its own mechanism for columns and backgrounds.
