Hi,

I came across an issue with blocks using the default (i.e. not rounded) corners. When such a block is placed inside a column, the whole column gets shifted to the left. The block does no longer properly align to a block outside of the columns env (see attached test case).

I believe that the strange behavior originates in the code for beamercolorbox in beamerbasecolor.sty:

When I change (around line 210)
#\else%
#\if@tempswa\setbox\beamer@tempbox=\vbox{%
#\usebeamercolor{\beamer@colbox@color}%

to
#\else%
#\if@tempswa\setbox\beamer@tempbox=\hbox{%
#\usebeamercolor{\beamer@colbox@color}%

(\vbox to \hbox), everything seems ok.

Do you believe that this fix is ok, or do I mess up anything else?

Thx
Jürg

In spanish, you write, for instance, m\'aximo'', and l'imite'', and the corresponding math operators max and lim (with backslash, of course) automatically put the accent. But you get horrible results with beamer if you use T1 encoding:

\[
  \max\{ 2, 3 \} = 3.
\]

\[
  \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac1n = 0
\]

They works properly without T1 enconding or without beamer.

A footnote in a frame with columns, gets wrapped at the width of the first column, even when the [frame] option is used to make the footnote frame-global. I can prevent the undesired wrapping by putting the footnote in an \mbox, but that seems like an unnecessarily ugly hack.

Since translator has so far only supported strings that Beamer required, and since it would make it easier to maintain both if there was just one package instead of two, the goal is to make Translator a part of Beamer in an intelligent way.

This will (hopefully) make translator a lot more popular, and once we write a section of beameruserguide that talks about translating, it will make it easier to reach people who are willing to contribute translations.

This must not stop other packages from using translator without beamer, if they wish to.

I have a presentation with, say, 47 slides, and 3
"backup slides" that I'll use only if I get questions
about them.

Currently, the last slide is numbered 47/50 (and the
backup slides are 48/50, 49/50 and 50/50). So, when I
show the presentation, the public still expects
something at the end.

I have a dirty hack:

\newcommand{\noframenumber}%
{\makeatletter\global\advance\c@framenumber

and the presentation ends with

\noframenumber
\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Backup slides}
  
\end{frame}

\noframenumber
\begin{frame}
...

But I'd like something cleaner, like
"\stopframenumbering", "\backupslides" or perhaps
"\appendix".

Another option would be to allow

Hi all,

Thanks for making beamer live again, it's one of the most beautiful existing tools.

First, a small grief: I download the zip, and I can't make use of it, because it's full to $Header$, which, apparently, cause plenty of parse errors. I had to comment out a couple of lines involving \beamer@parseid to get it to work.

Now to the point.

The enumerate package seems to be very well supported in the beamer class, but it does not work at all in the beamerarticle mode. This is a pity. The doc does mention that you have to usepackage enumerate yourself, but it makes no difference. The following example shows that it does not work. Remove the beamerarticle use to see what the expected output is.

Hi, I'm so happy to see a new maintainer has been found that I want to enter this seemingly minor issue here. I had posted about it on comp.text.tex but never really reported it as a bug.

In presentations, usually, the outline at the beginning does not contain page numbers as a table of contents in an article does. However, when using `addcontentsline{toc}{...}{...}` directly to add a comment to the outline, the frame number is added to the end of the added material.

Specifying
\renewcommand\addcontentsline[3]{\addtocontents{#1}{\protect\contentsline{#2}{#3}
in the document fixes this, but it really should be fixed in the package, unless maybe you are not supposed to use addcontentsline in beamer at all (is there a beamer command for this which I missed in the docs?)

Since Beamer was mostly developed in time before LuaLaTeX existed and before XeLaTeX was a popular choice (and likely before it was included in TeX Live), Till didn't consider necessary to discuss Beamer's compatibility with both. But now, instead of two (latex+dvips+ps2pdf and pdflatex), we have four engines.

However, they both work and that should be documented. TikZ/PGF manual is better in this regard, even it doesn't mention LuaLaTeX for same reasons.

After some investigations, I found that adding an alpha channel to my image fixed the problem with block. Also, adding an alpha channel to the included image helps.

I don't think this is a bug, but maybe it would be nice to tell about this issue into the documentation. Also, maybe a warning message at compile time could help.

Hello,

hyperref version 6.75p disables pdfpagelabels if \thepage is undefined when hyperref is loaded, which is the case when the first line of the document is \documentclass{beamer}. Instead, beamer should (1) define \thepage earlier so that hyperref enables pdfpagelabels; (2) use the \thispdfpagelabel macro (introduced in hyperref version 6.71f) to set the pdf page label on every frame. Currently, I achieve these effects by saying

\pagenumbering{arabic}
\documentclass{beamer}
\mode<presentation>{\setbeamertemplate{sidebar left}{\thispdfpagelabel{\insertframenumber`

in my presentation document. The page labels are useful because they ease navigation in PDF viewers such as Acrobat Reader and pspresent (the latter in conjunction with the next version of pdftops from poppler).

Hi,

Text is justified in an overlayarea environment, while it is usually flushed left. This does not seem to happen with overprint, though I remember it did with previous versions of beamer.

Here is a reproducer, with beamer 3.07:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{frame}{overprint}
  \begin{overprint}
    \lipsum[1]
  \end{overprint}

This is a bit surprising and slightly annoying, though easily worked around by placing a \raggedright command inside each overlayarea environment.

Right now it's possible to only include exactly one logo into a beamer presentation template.
In reality, people often use several logos, e.g., the one of their university, of the project they're sponsored by, and so forth. Also, one institution might have several logos to be placed, e.g., an actual logo at the top and some sort of mission statement at the bottom of the page.

I love giving talks with the notes on the second screen. It's one of the best of latex-beamer's many excellent features.

It would be neat to be able to see thumbnails of the current slide, next slide, and perhaps the previous slide at the top of the notes on the second screen. In the current version, the notes screen displays a thumbnail of the current slide, but it would be really nice if the default were to display thumbnails of the current slide and the next slide.

An alternative would be to modify \insertslideintonotes so that it is possible to specify an arbitrary slide number.

This would be very helpful because it could cue remarks such as, "On the next slide I will show you..."

In addition, it would be nice to have the archives and directory names follow the standard format used previously on the older sourceforge releases. For example, using an archive name of latex-beamer-3.07.tar.gz with the top-level directory name being latex-beamer-3.07. Basically, PN-PV.tar.gz where PN is the package name and PV is the package version with a top-level directory name of PN-PV. Currently the tagged archive checkouts don't follow this standard as well.

What's wrong? I'm using MiKTeX2.8 updated this week. Beamer-3.07-cvs version works.

Thank you,

Here are some last suggestions for the user guide:

page 97
current subsection hilighted
should read `highlighted´

page 167
The colors are taken from palette primary and palette fourth.
should read quarternary´ (or is it quaternary´) (instead of `fourth´)

page 200
either for yourself for checking for errors.
should read yourself or for´ (adding or´)

Best regards

Hi all,

This is more a general question for the beamer community than a bug (I think).

I'm trying to add the color fading that used in the Singapore theme for the head to a different section of a frame. I don't use a head, but I'd like to use that effect for the frametitle for my own .sty.

The easiest way to show you what I'm trying to do is for you to add these lines to the end of the Copenhagen theme. The end of beamerthemeCopenhagen.sty then looks like this for me.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Added this
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\AtBeginDocument{%
    {
     \usebeamercolor{frametitle}
    }
    \pgfdeclareverticalshading{beamer@frametitlefade}{\paperwidth}
    {%
     color(0.0cm)=(bg);
     color(1.00cm)=(frametitle.bg)%
    }
    \setbeamercolor{frametitle}{bg=}
}
\addtobeamertemplate{frametitle}{\pgfuseshading{beamer@frametitlefade}\vskip-1.15cm}{}
\beamertemplatedotitem


\mode
<all>

I admit I kind of hacked it together after reading the user guide and trying to understand what was happening in the Singapore theme. My Latex compiles and I get the fading effect but there's a blank white space on the left of the frame title about an inch or so wide. I've been trying to find out where that's coming from, but no luck.

The fading looks pretty good if I could just get this last part swinging! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Beamer is awesome. :)

From Stanislaw Polak:

"I use the \setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=left} option to divide a slide into two equal size parts / rectangles (left part with notes and right part with a content). I use the "Impress!ve" application, under Linux, to display my presentation. Because my laptop has possibility to use an extended desktop, Impress!ve displays the left part (the notes) on my laptop's screen and the right part (the content) on a projector. Presentation is displayed properly if both the laptop and the projector use the same resolution. If they use two different resolutions, a fragment of other part is visible, i.e., students see the whole content of a slide and a fragment of the part with notes. I have a proposition - a new option should be added to the Beamer class. Thanks to this option, a user could set that the left part will be displayed in 1680x1050 while the right part in 1024x768, and the Beamer class should divide the slide into two proportional parts (different size of rectangles (parts), different size of fonts, ...)"

When compiling Beamer presentations with XeLaTeX, there are usually lots of errors:

** WARNING ** Annotation out of page boundary.
** WARNING ** Current page's MediaBox: [0 0 362.835 272.126]
** WARNING ** Annotation: [8.50402 263.614 58.7396 272.389]
** WARNING ** Maybe incorrect paper size specified.

XeTeX mailing list thread [1] discusses the issue, but without any real solution and with an example that isn't so useful (since it actually goes out of page boundary).

However, I can reproduce the same issue with Antibes theme, and (somewhat strangely) it doesn't happen without fontspec and xltxtra packages. It should be investigated:

what exactly is out of page boundary and gest cropped, and

why does fontspec and xltxtra affect that.

This is a nontrivial task, so it will be left for a future release, unless, of course, an XeTeX expert randomly stumbles upon this and decides to fix it.

Currently, testing changes to beamer basically means trying whatever seems like a good idea. Probably a set of standard files would be a good idea, with a 'recipe' (Makefile or some such) to test them out. Perhaps take a look at the automated test suite for LaTeX2e?

Hi,

When a \section command appears inside an group (e.g. inside an environment), the section numbers in the table of contents are wrong. The reason is, \beamer@section increments \beamer@tocsectionnumber using \advance without a \global prefix.

Using \section inside a group may sound weird, but is quite natural when preparing alternative version using the comment package. Here is a reproducer, tested with beamer 3.07:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[ascii]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\newenvironment{fr}{\comment}{\endcomment}
\newenvironment{en}{}{}

\useinnertheme{rounded}

\begin{document}

\frame{\tableofcontents}

\begin{en}
  \section{Beamer is cool}
\end{en}
\begin{fr}
  \section{Beamer, c'est bien}
\end{fr}
\frame{blabla}

\begin{en}
  \section{Beamer is really cool}
\end{en}
\begin{fr}
  \section{Beamer, c'est vraiment bien}
\end{fr}
\frame{blabla}

\end{document}

Thanks,
Manuel.

A new frame with \titlepage will reset the page count to 1 in article mode (probably in all modes but truly a problem in article mode).

It is a minor problem, given that a simple workaround is to wrap this behaviour in some macro and make it mode sensitive, but it took a while to find out the problem.

A quick fix would simply be to have a message that indicates page count is reset, such that one can look into the log and quickly understand the problem, and save some time fooling around!
