beamerhorizontal alignment
I am trying to include some text at the right side of a beamer slide/frame, like so
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{default}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\hfill
\begin{description}
\item[item1] description1 text
\item[item2] description2 text
\end{description}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
However this results in the description at the left side of the slide…
A blank slide is easy to produce by adding the argument plain. By also adding c you center the text on the page (you also have the options t: top and b: bottom). Note that you must also omit the frame title.
\begin{frame}[plain,c]
%\frametitle{A first slide}
\begin{center}
\Huge Coming up: Our Work
\end{center}
\end{frame}
As for text type face and colour, I do not want to make any specific suggestions. For the type face, use the type face you use in the presentation, mixing too many type faces udually is not a good idea. The colour depnds on you colour scheme. If you want it to "scream" then use red or some other bright colour. You can always chose something that clearly deviates from the colour scheme you use but on the whole having too many colours that do not fit the scheme may jsut make the presentation look messy.
A beamer "inner theme" dictates the style of the frame elements traditionally set in the "body" of each slide. This includes the footnotes.
Viewing beamerinnerthememetropolis.dtx, we see
\setbeamertemplate{footnote}{%
\parindent 0em\noindent%
\raggedright
\usebeamercolor{footnote}\hbox to 0.8em{\hfil\insertfootnotemark}\insertfootnotetext\par%
}
which sets the footer using \raggedright (or flush left). Let's change that to
\setbeamertemplate{footnote}{%
\parindent 0em\noindent%
\raggedleft%\raggedright
\usebeamercolor{footnote}\hbox to 0.8em{\hfil\insertfootnotemark}\insertfootnotetext\par%
}
That is, add the above code to your preamble after setting \usetheme{m}:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{m}% https://github.com/matze/mtheme
\setbeamertemplate{footnote}{%
\parindent 0em\noindent%
\raggedleft%\raggedright
\usebeamercolor{footnote}\hbox to 0.8em{\hfil\insertfootnotemark}\insertfootnotetext\par%
}
\renewcommand{\footnoterule}{%
\kern -3pt
\hrule width \textwidth height 0pt
\kern 3pt
}
\title{Here's a title}
\subtitle{}
\date{Today}
\author{An Author}
\institute{University of Latex}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Footnotes!}
Here is some text.
\let\thefootnote\relax\footnote{Weiss 2010, Vogelgesang 2015, Smith 1999}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
Best Answer
Try putting stuff in columns. (Beamer manual -- 12.7 Splitting a Frame into Multiple Columns). This way you can later add content to the left side later if you wish so.
Example from the manual
The below example does not use the environment version of the command.
You can also use a
minipageand\hfill. This requires minimum change to your MWE. But it may be difficult to utilise the left side of the slide later on.
