I really do not undestand what you are writing..Whoginhagma... is this virus or something???

Hi,

Whoginhagma posted SPAM, I removed his post.
I'll check your problem later, when I'm on my LaTeX PC,

Stefan

thanks a lot..the problem has been solved now

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I'm curious what has been the solution. The code example works for me, now that I had the opportunity to test it.

Thanks Stefan,

the solution is really strange for me... what I did is that I deleted beamer files in my latex directory and that's it....

I do not know how my texlive reaches the beamer? but it is working well without problems

sorry Stefan, is there a way to change a theme for one slide and keep the other slides the same theme.. because I have a big tree structure on one slide.. and the theme that I use is quite big and on this slide part of the tree is hidden so how I can change the theme of this slide only and keep the others ?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

TeX uses the kpathsea library for locating files such as classes and packages. You can do it yourself using kpsewhich.

Regarding the beamer theme, you could use a plain frame:

Code: Select all

\begin{frame}[plain]
