Document Classes ⇒ beamer | Function of inner Theme

[wcw]

I do not quite understand the meaning of the \useinnertheme. I have tried several inner themes such as "rounded" and "circles". I could not tell the difference between them. Can someone tell me the difference?

From Section 15.1 of the beamer user guide (p. 146, version 3.14).

Inner Themes: An inner theme specifies how certain elements of a presentation are typeset. This includes all elements that are at the “inside” of the frame, that is, that are not part of the headline, footline, or sidebars. This includes all enumerations, itemize environments, block environments, theorem environments, or the table of contents. For example, an inner theme might specify that in an enumeration the number should be typeset without a dot and that a small circle should be shown behind it. The inner theme would not specify what color should be used for the number or the circle (this is the job of the color theme) nor which font should be used (this is the job of the font theme).

Thanks for your reply and that really makes sense.
