Scientific Word/Workplace ⇒ beamer | Frame Numbers in the Footer

[Hoed]

Hi,

I'm using Scientific Workplace 5.5 and Beamer. However, I've been asked to put some frame-numbers on the slides, so my students are able to follow my lectures better. Trying this, I found a code, which puts the frame-numbers in the footer to the right. All being quite well, but when setting the document more than once, the box, in which the frame-number is set, offsets some pt to the right. The problem seems to be persistent when deleting all packages. Anyway, if there's solution to that (may be I'm only not able to find an existing solution) I'd be a happy bunny.

Code: Select all

%\usecolortheme{crane}
%\setbeamercolor{normal text}{fg=black,bg=yellow}
%\logo{\includegraphics[height=40pt]{figures/hu-logo-breit}}
%\usefonttheme[onlysmall]{structurebold}
%\setbeamerfont{frametitle}{series=\bfseries}
%\usepackage[centertags,reqno]{amsmath}
%\usepackage{amsthm}

Hi,

I developed a work-around. Instead of defining a new template using

Code: Select all

\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{infolines theme}
{...
}

I just use a given template and modify it.

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{footline}
{
\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=1\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,right]{date in head/foot}
\usebeamerfont{date in head/foot}
\insertshortdate{}\hspace*{2em}
\insertframenumber{} / \inserttotalframenumber\hspace*{2ex} 
  \end{beamercolorbox}
}

Seems, this topic can be closed although I'm quite interested in why the first solution doesn't work.

Thanks for your thoughts, anyway.
