beamer | Unwanted Color Change on Frame Title

Post by testmouse »

Dear all,

As for a series of presentations, I have been using beamer with a single file with the style settings. However, with the latest presentation I created, the background color of my frame title changes between two quite different shades of blue. There does not seem to be a pattern to which frames have which color.
If I set the frame title to gray, then it works for all frames/slides.
If I set the color to some rgb value

Code: Select all

\definecolor{myblue}{rgb}{0.2,0.2,0.7}
\setbeamercolor{frametitle}{bg=myblue}
then the strange behaviour persists.
I tried a minimal example, and the only way to get the behaviour back to normal is by removing some of my PDF figures (which have some blue and red in them). Having said that, these figures are PDF version 1.6, and the compiler gives warnings that they can only be version 1.4.
Could this be the reason for my frame title colour problem ?
To make it really puzzling, if I use the [handout] option with beamer, then I only get one shade of blue (although not the default one, at least it is consistent).

Anyone with a more detailed knowledge or possibly advice on what to check for, or how to correct ? Any advice would be welcome.

Many thanks in advance,

Best Regards,

WM

better late than never...

Not a solution, but a work around. Convert the .pdf images to .jpg. I had the same problem and this work around solved it.

no mwe required.
