Page Layout ⇒ Centered Author Name in Footer of Presentation

[chitharenjan]

Hello,

I am using beamer class to prepare my presentations. I would like to know whether it is possible to center the author name in the footer. Currently the name is right aligned. I use "Copenhagen" theme.

Waiting for your reply.
Thanks in advance.

You can define your own beamer template for the footline to center the author in the left part of the footline:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Copenhagen}% loads outer theme "split"
\usepackage{lmodern}

\setbeamertemplate{footline}
{%
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm plus1fill,rightskip=.3cm plus1fill]{author in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}

\begin{document}
\author{Max Mustermann}
\title{Title}
\section{first section}
\begin{frame}
  Test

\end{document}
