[beamer] customizing theme

Post by tombaugh »

Hi,

After reading a dozen or so tutorials I'm still confused about customizing a beamer theme. What I would like is the following:

- black miniframes navigation
- no subsections
- no footer
- no smooth transitions
- custom colors, let's say brown instead of the default blue

The Frankfurt theme is pretty similar to what I want, and I managed to change the color of most elements to brown using setbeamercolor. Is there a way to get rid of the smooth edges? And is it possible to replace colors throughout a theme instead of manually changing each element?

Thanks!

Hi,

The beamer folder contains the code for all available themes (like Frankfurt). You could create your own theme using those files as inspiration. Copy the Frankfurt .sty file it to a new file, delete the smoothing part and replace colors.
