[Tex/LaTex] remove subsection bar in Darmstadt theme, beamer

beamernavigationpresentations

I am using the Darmstadt theme in beamer and would like to remove the subsection titles in the navigation bar. Is there any easy way to do this without changing the color scheme?

Best Answer

Try \usetheme{Frankfurt} instead of \usetheme{Darmstadt}.

The reason is that beamerthemedarmstadt.sty is defined as follows:

\mode<presentation>

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

\setbeamerfont{block title}{size={}}

\mode
<all>

beamerthemefrankfurt.sty has the same definition, with one small difference:

\useoutertheme[subsection=false]{smoothbars}

which hides the subsection in the navigation.

The navigation symbols are those normally placed at the bottom. To remove the circles you mentioned you can use:
```
\setbeamertemplate{mini frames}{}
```

Finally I found a solution by re-writing the internal macro \insertverticalnavigation. I put the code if it can help someone.

If you have any idea to improve, please let me know.

In a MyStyle.sty file I wrote:

% Style
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesClass{MyStyle}[2013/06/21 Beamer theme]

% Outer theme
\useoutertheme[left]{sidebar}

% Package
\RequirePackage{wasysym} %\Circle, \CIRCLE -> subsection symbol

% Length
\newlength{\SidebarWidth}
\setlength{\SidebarWidth}{\beamer@sidebarwidth}

% Internal insertverticalnavigation macro
\def\insertverticalnavigation#1{%
  \begin{minipage}[t]{\SidebarWidth}
    \centering
    \vbox to \paperheight{%
      \def\sectionentry##1##2##3##4##5{%
        \ifnum##5=\c@part%
        \def\insertsectionhead{##2}%
        \def\insertsectionheadnumber{##1}%
        \def\insertpartheadnumber{##5}%
        \vskip0.9em
        \hbox{{%
          \usebeamerfont{section in sidebar}\usebeamercolor[fg]{section in sidebar}%
            \hyperlink{Navigation##3}{%
            \ifnum\c@section=##1%
              \ifnum\c@subsection=0\relax%
                {\usebeamertemplate{section in sidebar}}%
              \else%
                \ifx\beamer@nav@css\beamer@hidetext%
                  {\usebeamertemplate{section in sidebar}}%
                \else%
                  {\usebeamertemplate{section in sidebar}}%
                \fi%
              \fi%
            \else
              {\usebeamertemplate{section in sidebar shaded}}%
            \fi}}}%

        {\hskip0pt\hbox{{%
          \usebeamerfont{subsection in sidebar}\usebeamercolor[fg]{subsection in sidebar}%
            \hyperlink{Navigation##4}{%
            \ifnum\c@section=##2%
              \ifnum\c@subsection=##3%
                \ifnum\c@subsubsection=0\relax%
                  {\usebeamertemplate{subsection in sidebar}}%
                \else%
                  {\usebeamertemplate{subsection in sidebar}}%
                \fi%
              \else%
                {\usebeamertemplate{subsection in sidebar shaded}}%
              \fi%
            \else%
              {\usebeamertemplate{subsection in sidebar shaded}}%
            \fi}}}%
        }%
        \fi}%
      \dohead%
    }%
  \end{minipage}
}

% subsection in sidebar
\setbeamertemplate{subsection in sidebar}
{
  \usebeamercolor{subsection in sidebar}\CIRCLE%
}

% subsection in sidebar shaded
\setbeamertemplate{subsection in sidebar shaded}
{
  \usebeamercolor{subsection in sidebar shaded}\Circle%
}

And a MWE could be:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{MyStyle}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
  \titlepage
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\tableofcontents
\end{frame}

\section{Section 1}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item No frametitle
\item section 1
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\subsection{Subsection 1}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item No frametitle
\item section 1
\item subsection 1
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\subsection{Subsection 2}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item No frametitle
\item section 1
\item subsection 2
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\section{Section 2}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item No frametitle
\item section 2
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

This little example provide me what I want which is subsection in horizontal mode inside a vertical navigation bar.
