height of frametitle in Beamer, and other questions...

Hi there,

I use beamer as the main package for slide. I have several problems
when I hope to customize the slide look.

1) how to reduce the height of frametitlebox? Now it seems too height
compared with the whole frame heihgt.

2) how to number the section and subsection in the header? I use
Madrid theme with option ``secheader''. I hope the section or
subsection displayed in the header have numbered.

3) how to change the section counter? For example, I hope the first
section in a specific slide start from 4.

Any suggestions will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jinsong

system-wide breakdown of formatting beamer source files

Dear all,

Today, latex has suddenly stopped producing beamer slides. 

The compiling goes through without error messages. However, the 
output pdf is not formatted according to the theme indicated (Goettingen), 
in fact hardly formatted at all. Text and displayed formulae do not fit 
on the pages. Varying the theme or fonttheme does not change this 
situation.

This happens with all source files on my computer, old ones that used to 
work well, and new ones, created from scratch. I don't know of any 
changes to the system, no updates or alterations of the files involed.

I've even rebooted the box.

Interestingly, the dvi created by latex if run on the source file is just 
the same poor output.

I'd be very grateful for any  hint how to proceed.

Best wishes,
Jönne

Different title page

placing images on top of each other

Hello,

I'm trying to create a presentation, in which I can place different
images on top of each other
but can't find a way to do it.

Basic idea would be to place Picture 1 to the left of the frame, then
Picture 2 to the center,
but approximately 1 cm on top of Picture 1, and then Picture 3, to the
right of Picture 2,
yet again, on top of approximately 1 cm on top of Picture 2.

Is that possible ? Would anyone provide some help ?

Thanks in advance,

My own theme

Hi there
i wrote a custom theme which also  features a outertheme to use with
beamerposter. I organized it in a very inconsistence way, so that
almost everything is in the beamer<myname>theme and or in the outer
and color theme. There are even some additional macros in the
beamertheme (it has more of an ordinary package than of an
beamertheme). Well the question now is how to distribute that. I
really want to upload it to ctan but dont know if my organisation ist
the right way to do it  nor if it will be accepted. I know that
Herbert made a complete new class of his theme (s.th like Fuberlin i
guess). For me that´s no alternative, i want my (few) users to use it
as a theme (and to load beamer class separately).
On the other hand i strongly believe, that the beamer dev team wants
me to make clear that this theme does not come from them, so calling
it a beamer theme could cause questions addressing the beamer team. I
really want to avoid this.

So any suggestions?

Background image in beamer slides

I want different background of every beamer slide.
Is it possible?
If yes, then can anybody tell me the code?

First I include the following  code in the preamble for the same
background in all slides.
\usebackgroundtemplate{\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{image.jpg}}

Then add the same code in the required slide
e.g.
\begin{frame}
\usebackgroundtemplate{\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{image.jpg}}
....
\end{frame}

Output is same background as others slides.
Please help me.
Thank you
