Page Layout ⇒ Beamer Footline

[mrdwustl]

Hi.

I'm making slides in latex and want the footline to appear to have my name and the institution (rather than my name and the title). Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}[10]
\usepackage{pgf}
\usepackage{beamerthemesplit}
 
\definecolor{kugreen}{RGB}{50,93,61}
\definecolor{kugreenlys}{RGB}{132,158,139}
\definecolor{kugreenlyslys}{RGB}{173,190,177}
\definecolor{kugreenlyslyslys}{RGB}{214,223,216}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}
\mode<presentation>
%\usetheme[numbers,totalnumber,compress,sidebarshades]{PaloAlto}
\setbeamertemplate{footline}[title]
 
  \usecolortheme[named=kugreen]{structure}
  \useinnertheme{circles}
  \usefonttheme[onlymath]{serif}
  \setbeamercovered{transparent}
  \setbeamertemplate{blocks}[rounded][shadow=true]
   
%\logo{\includegraphics[width=1.5cm]{billeder/logo}}
\title{TITLE}
\author{NAME}
\institute{Department of Political Science \\ Washington University in St. Louis}
\date{\today}

Hi,

you have to set the footline beamer template; the following example code includes the necessary definitions:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}[10]
\usepackage{beamerthemesplit}

\definecolor{kugreen}{RGB}{50,93,61}
\definecolor{kugreenlys}{RGB}{132,158,139}
\definecolor{kugreenlyslys}{RGB}{173,190,177}
\definecolor{kugreenlyslyslys}{RGB}{214,223,216}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}
\mode<presentation>

\setbeamertemplate{footline}
{%
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm plus1fill,rightskip=.3cm]{author in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshortinstitute
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}

  \usecolortheme[named=kugreen]{structure}
  \useinnertheme{circles}
  \usefonttheme[onlymath]{serif}
  \setbeamercovered{transparent}
  \setbeamertemplate{blocks}[rounded][shadow=true]
