Changing a Beamer theme (Itemizing)

Post by gozzi84 »

Hi all,

I'm using the Beamer class.

I've chosen the theme PaloAlto. Anyway I wanted items and sub-items to have a different symbols... I mean wanted this:


\begin{itemize}
\item (I want this with a point)

\begin{itemize}
\item (I want this with a dart)

\begin{itemize}
\item (I want this with a star)

\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

I hope to have explained well the point.


Thank you in advance!

See Section 12.1 ("Itemizations, Enumerations, and Descriptions", p. 103ff) of the beamer manual for customization of these lists.

I can't find there an answer to my question, it doen't give examples.

Think that itemizing of different levels depends on the theme you've chosen but there will be a way to change the marker of each level of items.

\begin{itemize}[star]
\item \textbf{Marshall, Sorensen and Tucker} (1992)
\begin{itemize}[ball]
\item not completely arbitrage-free framework of replicating portfolios.
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

Right?

I found the solution.

It's just a matter of specifying it before beginning the document. This works as follows:

\setbeamertemplate{itemize items}[ball] % if you want a ball
\setbeamertemplate{itemize subitem}[circle] % if you wnat a circle
\setbeamertemplate{itemize subsubitem}[triangle] % if you want a triangle


other you can have a square.

Anyone know how to have a star?


Thanks

As in theme Boadilla where subsubitmes have the star symbol, how can I specify it when using other theme?


The common for is the following, but what I have to secify inside the square parenthesis?


\setbeamertemplate{itemize subsubitem}[ . . . ]


Thanks to you all!
