[Tex/LaTex] Modify flip beamer theme

beamermini-framesthemes

Recently I came across flip beamer theme.
You can find it here

I didn't like the current frame/total frames page numbering style so I added in the .tex file the following lines

\newcommand*\oldmacro{}%
\let\oldmacro\insertshorttitle%
\renewcommand*\insertshorttitle{%
\oldmacro\hfill%
\insertframenumber\,}%/\,\inserttotalframenumber

but it didn't work. I thought of trying to see what's going on in the .sty files. In beamerouterthemeFlip.sty I replaced

\node at (\paperwidth-5ex,4ex){\small$^\text{\insertframenumber}/_\text{\inserttotalframenumber}$};

with

 \node at (\paperwidth-5ex,4ex) {\small $\insertframenumber$};

and it worked.

changing numbering style

Now I want to add smoothbars on top…The ones with circle…Something like that

circles and smooth bars

In .tex file I added

\useoutertheme[subsection=true]{smoothbars}

but not only it didn't work, it somehow ruined the beauty of the theme.

the loss of beauty

Is there a way to achieve that? Circles on top without ruinning everything…

I am also trying to add a logo but using

\logo{\includegraphics[scale=.05]{logo.jpg}}

It is not working…

Best Answer

Logo is inserted with \insertlogo macro. For this, you need to uncomment line 171 in beamerouterthemeFlip.sty

[Tex/LaTex] Beamer theme Amsterdam

Take the following modified code of beamerthemeAmsterdam.sty and save as beamerthemeAmsterdamTeXsx.sty. It uses \insertsectionnavigationhorizontal instead of \insertnavigation in order to suppress the small circles representing the individual frames.

\DeclareOptionBeamer{compress}{\beamer@compresstrue}
\ProcessOptionsBeamer

\mode<presentation>

\useoutertheme[footline=authortitle]{miniframes}
\useinnertheme{circles}
\usecolortheme{whale}
\usecolortheme{orchid}

\definecolor{beamer@blendedblue}{rgb}{0.137,0.466,0.741}

\setbeamercolor{structure}{fg=beamer@blendedblue}
\setbeamercolor{titlelike}{parent=structure}
\setbeamercolor{frametitle}{fg=black}
\setbeamercolor{title}{fg=black}
\setbeamercolor{item}{fg=black}

\setbeamertemplate{headline}
{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{upper separation line head}
  \end{beamercolorbox}
  \begin{beamercolorbox}{section in head/foot}
    \vskip2pt\insertsectionnavigationhorizontal{\paperwidth}{}{}\vskip2pt
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \ifbeamer@theme@subsection%
    \begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{middle separation line head}
    \end{beamercolorbox}
    \begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,%
      leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{subsection in head/foot}
      \usebeamerfont{subsection in head/foot}\insertsubsectionhead
    \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \fi%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt]{lower separation line head}
  \end{beamercolorbox}
}
\mode
<all>

You can then use it via \usetheme{AmsterdamTeXsx} in your preamble.

[Tex/LaTex] Beamer – customising the Frankfurt theme

You can change the PGF code that is used to draw the circle. The filled circle is drawn in the beamer template mini frame.

By adding

\pgfsetcolor{<color>}

\pgfsetfillcolor{<color>}

to the PGF picture code one can set the <color> to be used for the whole circle or only the filling. (There’s also \pgfsetstrokecolor.)

I have used an additional color bullet that is let to red.

The starred version of \defbeamertemplate also activated the defined template so the second argument (Frankfurt) can be anything (except default).

I’m sure one can exploit all the possibilities a beamer template offers after reading the section 16.3 “Changing the Templates Used for Different Elements of a Presentation” of the beamer manual …

The Frankfurt theme loads internally

\useoutertheme[subsection=false]{smoothbars}
\useinnertheme[shadow=true]{rounded}
\usecolortheme{orchid}
\usecolortheme{whale}

I do not see the point of additionally loading the default inner, outer and color theme. The output does not change anyway.

Code

\documentclass[compress]{beamer}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}


\usetheme{Frankfurt}
\usefonttheme{professionalfonts}  

\setbeamercolor{title}{bg=white, fg=red}
\setbeamercolor{frametitle}{bg=white, fg=red}
\setbeamercolor{section in head/foot}{fg=black, bg=white}
\colorlet{bullet}{red}
\defbeamertemplate*{mini frame}{Frankfurt}
{%
  \begin{pgfpicture}{0pt}{0pt}{0.1cm}{0.1cm}
%    \pgfsetcolor{bullet}% draw and fill in red
    \pgfsetfillcolor{bullet}% only fill in red
    \pgfpathcircle{\pgfpoint{0.05cm}{0.05cm}}{0.05cm}
    \pgfusepath{fill,stroke}
  \end{pgfpicture}%
}
[action]
{ \setbeamersize{mini frame size=.14cm,mini frame offset=.03cm} }
