I have exactly the style of navigation symbols that I would like for my Berlin themed Beamer presentation:
\documentclass[xcolor=dvipsnames,compress]{beamer}
\usetheme{Berlin}
\makeatletter
\beamer@theme@subsectionfalse
\makeatother
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
\useoutertheme{miniframes}
\setbeamertemplate{mini frame in other subsection}{}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\beamer@compressfalse
\patchcmd{\insertnavigation}{\hskip-1.875ex plus-1fill}{}{}{}
\patchcmd{\sectionentry}{\beamer@section@set@min@width}{}{}{}
\patchcmd{\sectionentry}{\hskip1.875ex plus 1fill}{}{}{}
\patchcmd{\sectionentry}{\hyperlink{Navigation#3}{{\usebeamertemplate{section in head/foot shaded}}}}{}{}{}
\patchcmd{\slideentry}{\beamer@ypos=#2\relax}{}{}{}
\patchcmd{\fakeslideentry}{\beamer@ypos=#2\relax}{}{}{}
\makeatother
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\slideentry}{\advance\beamer@tempdim by -.05cm{\advance\beamer@tempdim by\beamer@vboxoffset\advance\beamer@tempdim by\beamer@boxsize\advance\beamer@tempdim by 1.2\pgflinewidth}{}{}
\patchcmd{\slideentry}{\kern\beamer@tempdim}{\advance\beamer@tempdim by 2pt\advance\beamer@tempdim by\wd\beamer@sectionbox\kern\beamer@tempdim}{}{}
\makeatother
\author[sklum]{sklum}
\title{mytitle}
\institute[myinst]{
institution \\
}
\begin{document}
\section{Sec00}
\subsection{Sec00} {
\begin{frame}{001}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{002}
\end{frame}
}
\end{document}
Using the answers here and here, this code makes navigations symbols appear only for a section, and symbols appear directly to the right of the section title. However, I'd like to move the header containing the navigation symbols to the lowest part of the footer (i.e. below my name and the title). Unfortunately, the answer here does not work for the Berlin theme.
Is this possible?
