beamerlyx
I'm trying to create a presentation using the Beamer class in Lyx.
Following the example, I start a new frame environment, insert a title and add some text.
However, if I select some text to itemize, Lyx ends the frame environment and starts an itemize environment, instead of placing the itemize environment within the frame.
The online examples don't seem to have this problem.
What am I doing wrong?
In 2.1 there is an easier way. I really recommend reading the (brand new) Beamer LyX manual. Go to Help > Specific Manuals > Beamer Presentations
To change a normal frame to a fragile frame, put the cursor at the beginning of the frame (in the following screenshot, this means after the red text "Frame" and before the "Default Overlay Specifications").
Then change the environment from Frame to Frame (fragile) by going up the top left as shown here:
And clicking on FragileFrame
You should end up with
Title style is defined with beamercolor and beamerfont templates. Use them inside a beamercolorbox with correct dimensions or just fix them before writing the title.
If you want also horizontally centre ordered or unordered lists, use varwidth package.
Next is a modification of Christof's example. Adjust it to your stylish needs.
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Rochester}
\usecolortheme{beaver}
\setbeamercolor*{item}{fg=red!70!black!100!}
\useinnertheme{circles}
\usepackage{varwidth}
\newcommand{\mytitle}{
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=3ex,dp=1ex,center,wd=\framewidth]{frametitle}
\usebeamerfont{frametitle}\insertframetitle
\end{beamercolorbox}\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=3ex,dp=1ex,center,wd=\framewidth]{framesubtitle}
\usebeamerfont{framesubtitle}\insertframesubtitle
\end{beamercolorbox}}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[plain]{Frametitle}{Framesubtitle}
\centering
\mytitle
\medskip
Some Text. Some Text. Some Text. Some Text. Some Text. Some Text.
\medskip
\begin{varwidth}{.5\linewidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item One Subject
\item Another Subject
\end{itemize}\end{varwidth}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Please take a look at LyX's beamer manual in Help > Specific Manuals > Beamer Presentations. For your example, when you are in itemize, you just need to press "tab". See below:
