customizing itemize in beamer

Question

I have the following in the preamble :

\setbeamercolor{enumerate item}{fg=red}  
\setbeamercolor{itemize item}{fg=red}  
\setbeamertemplate{itemize item}[triangle]  
\newenvironment{myenumerate}{\begin{enumerate}[(1)]}{\end{enumerate}} . 

Itemize works as intended when it is not called inside any other environment, however if I have an itemize inside myenumerate, I see blue circles instead of red trianges as the symbols marking the item elements : how can I get red triangles instead?

Answer 1

If your itemize is inside an enumerate, the nested level increases by one and a different template/color is used. So add:

\setbeamercolor{itemize subitem}{fg=red}
\setbeamertemplate{itemize subitem}[triangle]

and you should be all set.
