Text Formatting ⇒ change bullet shape in beamer toc

[asafw]

Hi there,

I am using the default beamer theme, and would like to have square *unnumbered* bullets for sections in the ToC. I didn't find an easy way to modify this when I looked online.

Changing "ball" to "square" in
\setbeamertemplate{section in toc}[ball unnumbered]
doesn't work..

Also, is there a way to change the color of the square (from default blue to black)?

Thanks a lot,
Asaf

Hi Asaf,

you can define such as style. Here I modified the original definition from beamerbaseauxtemplates.sty:

Code: Select all

\defbeamertemplate{section in toc}{square unnumbered}{%
  \leavevmode\leftskip=1.75ex%
  \llap{\textcolor{red!70!black}{\vrule width2.25ex
    height1.85ex depth.4ex}}%
  \kern1.5ex\inserttocsection\par}

I just chose a red-black mix, you can change that as desired.

Now that works:

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{section in toc}[square unnumbered]
