Presentations and Posters ⇒ Berkeley theme

[Athene_47]

HI guys

I use fo my presentation the Berkeley theme, but it seems to work as you can see from the image below but into the code TexStudio underlines a error in the following way

Option dash for package beamerouterthemesidebar. \useoutertheme[right]{sidebar}

Instead, using AnnArbor theme and putting the \useoutertheme[right]{sidebar} under \usetheme{AnnArbor} it works without errors

Hi,

the Berkeley theme already loads the sidebar with default options, that's why you get an option clash when you load it again with a different option.

Here is a quick fix - the first line:

Code: Select all

\PassOptionsToPackage{right}{beamerouterthemesidebar}
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Berkeley}
\begin{document}
\frame{test}
\end{document}

Please always post real code as code in text, as I did. From a screenshot I cannot copy and test the code.

Thanks Stefan for the advise .. it works

I have other question. If i want to use the Berlin theme insted of Berkely, is it possible to use the sidebar option ?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Try it with Berlin. The sidebar is shown:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Berlin}
\useoutertheme[right]{sidebar} 
\begin{document}
\frame{test}
\end{document}

But first really think about if you need foot lines, header, sidebar at all. They take space, they show redundant information, I doubt that the audience reads the such sidebar, header or footer all the time. It takes space away that you could use.

I prefer themes without fancy stuff that requires space. For example, when I have big images or screenshots or long code. Recently I used the metropolis beamer theme. All available space is for content.

Hi Jay,

welcome to the forum!

You could use the author field to add also the supervisor. For example:

\author{Jay\\Supervisor: Eric}

Or, to have just your name in the shorter version of that field, such as in the sidebar:

\author[Jay]{Jay\\Supervisor: Eric}
