Maybe I'm wrong but wouldn't it be enough, in case of `sidebar` outer theme, to redefine `plain` frames to be preceded and followed respectively by: ```latex \begingroup \makeatletter \setlength{\hoffset}{-.5\beamer@sidebarwidth} \makeatother...
@louisstuart96 I see.
@samcarter8 A problem remains: if the background color is changed, only a part of the extended area is colored: ```latex \documentclass{beamer} % \usetheme{PaloAlto} \setbeamercolor{background canvas}{bg=yellow!50} % \title{Foo} \author{Bar} % \begin{document}...
Quite perfect now! :)
Indeed, this would break backward compatibility but, IMHO, it is an unfortunate necessity: I don't see any reason to be happy with non centered text in plain frames, especially since...
Another problem remains: that trick doesn't work with sidebar-less themes (see #755). ```latex \documentclass{beamer} % % \usetheme{PaloAlto} % \title{Foo} \author{Bar} % \begin{document} % \begingroup \makeatletter \hoffset=-\beamer@leftsidebar \advance\textwidth\beamer@sidebarwidth \hsize\textwidth \columnwidth\textwidth \makeatother...
Next time, please provide a [minimum complete example (MCE)](https://texfaq.org/FAQ-(minxampl).) As a workaround, you can use the `beamer`'s concept of “offsets”: ```latex \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \begin{frame} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,...
... and `\setbeamerfont{footnote}{parent=normal text,size=\relsize{-2}}` for the footnotes? In any case, that does the trick, thanks! Shouldn't it be the default for `beamer`? At least, in order to not break existing...
Just as a proof of concept, I'm trying to *redefine* the font size commands with the ideas from @samcarter but, unfortunately, it is not possible to rely on `relsize` in...
> So better document that beamer can document itself (on frame environments) using verbatim in order to make life easier for real uses but that you have to use, say...
