backgroundsbeamer
How can I make a beamercolorbox in the background template take the whole width of the slide? The following doesn't work correctly (but it works for some other templates such as headline):
\documentclass{beamer}
\setbeamercolor{banner}{bg=green}
\setbeamertemplate{background}{
\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=\paperwidth,ht=2cm]{banner}
\end{beamercolorbox}
}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{AA}
BB
\end{frame}
\end{document}
I used images Sir Isaac Newton (rename it as newton.jpg) and Kitten (rename it as kitten.jpg)
The code snippet below is self-explanatory and I compiled using pdflatex.exe because of .jpg format.
\documentclass[bigger]{beamer}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
%Global Background must be put in preamble
\usebackgroundtemplate%
{%
\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]{newton.jpg}%
}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Introduction}
\begin{itemize}
\item 1
\item 2
\item 3
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
% Local background must be enclosed by curly braces for grouping.
{
\usebackgroundtemplate{\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{kitten.jpg}}%
\begin{frame}{Kitten}
\begin{itemize}
\item 1
\item 2
\item 3
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
}
\begin{frame}{Summary}
\begin{itemize}
\item 1
\item 2
\item 3
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
Probably the simplest way to get what you want is \useoutertheme[right]{sidebar}. You can also set the width by passing the option width=<dimension> to sidebar, so you won't need \setbeamersize{sidebar width right=0.1\paperwidth}, but the title does not seem to auto-wrap to fit.
\documentclass{beamer}
\useoutertheme[right,width=0.1\paperwidth]{sidebar}
\usecolortheme{dove}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{tikz}
%\usepackage{roboto}
\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}
\beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty
%\setbeamersize{sidebar width right=0.1\paperwidth}
\definecolor{sectioncol}{rgb}{0.99608,0.89412,0.75197}
\usebackgroundtemplate{
\tikz[overlay, inner sep=0]
\node[anchor=north west] {
%\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{figures/header}
};
}
\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}
{
\leavevmode%
\vskip 10pt
\hskip 20pt
\mbox{
\textcolor{sectioncol}{\Large{\insertframetitle}}
}
\vskip 5pt
\hskip 20pt
\mbox{
\textcolor{white}{\insertframesubtitle}
}
}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}
{
\leavevmode%
\hbox{
\parbox{20pt}{
\hfill
}
}
\hbox{
\parbox{0.4\paperwidth}{
test \\~\\
\copyright test
}
}
\hbox{
\parbox{0.2\paperwidth}{
slide <\insertpagenumber>
}
}
\hbox{
\parbox{0.3\paperwidth}{
\hfill
%\includegraphics[height=0.1\paperheight]{figures/logo}
}
}
}
\title{Presentation Title}
\begin{document}
\section{Graph Concepts}
\subsection{Test}
\begin{frame}

It's due to the margin. Add some extra hspace and it all works (thanks @percusse).
