Text Formatting ⇒ beamer class | enumeration symbols and \alph

[Farmercy]

hi, i know you can turn the numbers in enumerations to letters with

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{enumerate subitem}{\alph{enumii}}

and i am using a beamertheme which has

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{items}[square]

set, but how do i get both to work together? The first seems to be overriding the second.

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{enumerate subitem}[square]{\alph{enumii}}

and

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{enumerate subitem}{\alph{enumii}}[square]

does not work. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi there,

Try and create a minimal working example for your problem and upload so others can see your problem. Also tell us what behaviour you want. The more information you give, the easier it is to answer questions!

Code: Select all

\documentclass[]{beamer}

\setbeamertemplate{items}[square]

\begin{document}

\frame{	
	\begin{enumerate}
		\item 1
		\begin{enumerate}
			\item A
			\item B
			\item C
			\item D
		\end{enumerate}
	\end{enumerate}
}

\end{document}

Thats the whole thing, and now i would like the numbers in the subenumerate to be letters and still to be in the blue quares.

Hi,

redefining \theenumii after \begin{document} works:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[]{beamer}
\setbeamertemplate{items}[square]
\begin{document}
\renewcommand*{\theenumii}{\Alph{enumii}}
\frame{   
   \begin{enumerate}
      \item 1
      \begin{enumerate}
         \item A
         \item B
         \item C
         \item D
      \end{enumerate}
   \end{enumerate}
}
\end{document}
