Text (or bullet points) vertical alignment

Post by stinkinrich88 »

Hello,

I'm making a BeamerPoster and, for some reason, the itemize markers (bullet points) are too low compared to the text. The bullets rest on the baseline of the text, but I want them central with respect to the text. How can I achieve this?

Thanks,

Richard

I'm afraid the only example I could give would be the entire sty file, as I did not write it myself.

Anyway, turns out there's a new version of the sty file, and this bit of code seems to do what I'm after:

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{itemize item}{\raisebox{0.22ex}{$\bullet$}\hskip0.1em}
\setbeamertemplate{itemize subitem}{\raisebox{0.12ex}{$-$}\hskip0.1em}
Thanks anyway!
