Document Classes ⇒ beamer footline

[neumannturing]

Hi,
CambridgeUS theme almost meet my need except that the footline. It splits the footline into three boxes showing author(Insitute), Title, Date and frame number.
My title is too long to fit into the second box, but the third box(containing the Date and frame number) has many space. So I want to enlarge the second box and make the third box shorter. I also want to only show the first box showing only the author's name, no insitute and the parenthesis. How can I do that?
Thank you.

From my point of view you have two possible solutions.

• Use a short form for the title of your presentation.
• This theme uses the outer theme »infolines« which you can find in the installation path of beamer.

  Code: Select all

  <path>/tex/latex/beamer/themes/outer

  Here <path> depends on your operating system. In the file beamerouterthemeinfolines.sty you will find the definition of the foot line. Copy this definition and modify it according to your needs. The commands for the contents of the boxes are self-evident.

Best regards
