Hey Jürgen. thank you for your information. But unfortantely this doesn't work with lyx.
I put the following in the "Latex-Vorspann" in Lyx. When i then make a "pdflatex" once there is a message "Leere Ausgabedatei ". If i try it again there cames the pdf without foodnumbers.... uwe % This is based on beamerthemesplit by Till Tantau % % The theme can be used for putting page number information in the footline of % beamer presentations typeset with the split or shadow outer themes (e.\,g. % used by the Warsaw theme). % % For the footline template, we define two new default options: % % \setbeamertheme{footline}[split slidenumber right] % (the default) defines the footline such that the slide number appears % flush right, inside the title field. % % \setbeamertheme{footline}[split slidenumber left] % defines the footline such that the slide number appears flush left, inside % the author field. % % For æsthetical purposes, I suggest you to consider the latter option only if % a flush-right slide number results in an extremely asymmetric layout, e. \,g. % for long titles and short authors. % % % To define what is actually meant by "slide number" we define the slidenumber % template. There are four predefined options: % % framenumber (default) The frame number % totalframenumber m of n style framenumber (e.\,g. 17 / 42) % pagenumber The page number % totalpagenumber m of n style pagenumber (e.\,g. 17 / 42) \mode<presentation> \useoutertheme{split} \defbeamertemplate*{slidenumber}{framenumber} {\insertframenumber} \defbeamertemplate{slidenumber}{totalframenumber} {\insertframenumber\,/\,\inserttotalframenumber} \defbeamertemplate{slidenumber}{pagenumber} {\insertpagenumber} \defbeamertemplate{slidenumber}{totalpagenumber} {\insertpagenumber\,/\,\insertpresentationendpage} \defbeamertemplate*{footline}{split slidenumber right} {% \leavevmode% \hbox{\begin{beamercolorbox} [wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm plus1fill,rightskip=.3cm] {author in head/foot}% \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor \end{beamercolorbox}% \begin{beamercolorbox} [wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil] {title in head/foot}% \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle% \hskip2ex plus1fill% \usebeamertemplate{slidenumber}% \end{beamercolorbox}}% \vskip0pt% } \defbeamertemplate{footline}{split slidenumber left} {% \leavevmode% \hbox{\begin{beamercolorbox} [wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm plus1fil,rightskip=.3cm] {author in head/foot}% \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}% \usebeamertemplate{slidenumber}% \hskip2ex plus1fill% \insertshortauthor \end{beamercolorbox}% \begin{beamercolorbox} [wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil] {title in head/foot}% \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle% \end{beamercolorbox}}% \vskip0pt% } \mode<all> \endinput > uwe wrote: > > sometimes i use beamer to make conference talks. i like the structure of > > the theme Warsaw but i found no way to the sidenumber an perhabs how much > > slides are in the presentation. > > > > Some ideas? > > \insertframenumber inserts the number of the frame (not slide), > \inserttotalframenumers the overall count of frames. \insertpagenumber > inserts the slide number instead (which is less useful IMO), and > \insertpresentationendpage the number of slides in the presentation. > > The best way is to change the outer theme Warsaw is based upon, i.e. split. > Have a look here for an example: > http://groups.google.de/group/de.comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/9b85209 >1a7e221fb/a1315c3f4e837600#a1315c3f4e837600 > > HTH, > Jürgen > > > uwe
