I have a simple black beamer template for presentations that I often use. I would like to add some simple mini frame navigation to this, but the outer theme for mini frames adds in too much extra stuff (section names, etc).
I want to add miniframe circles beneath the frametitle without any words or separation denoting section changes in the pdf. Just one circle per frame, centered in a thin line underneath the frametitle. But I do want to have sections in the pdf for general navigation when viewing the file.
It would look something like this...
I looked into adapting the code from the outer theme "mini-frame" .sty, but it is beyond my skill.
Here is my MWE:
\documentclass{beamer}
\setbeamertemplate{itemize items}[circle]
\setbeamercolor{itemize item}{fg=black}
\setbeamercolor{section in head/foot}{fg=white, bg=black}
\setbeamercolor{frametitle}{fg=white, bg=black}
\setbeamerfont{frametitle}{size=\small}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{ }
\usefonttheme{serif}

\section{Some Amazing Presentation}
\begin{frame}{MWE $\vert$ Some Amazing Presentation}
\begin{itemize}
\item This is a really amazing presentation, demonstrating a MWE
\item Very impressive
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\section{The Second Part}
\begin{frame}{MWE $\vert$ The Second Part}
\begin{itemize}
\item The second part of this presentation is even better
\item It was really worth waiting for
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{MWE $\vert$ The Second Part}
\begin{itemize}
\item Lots of things to say
\item these things are interesting
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{MWE $\vert$ The Second Part}
\begin{itemize}
\item blah blah blah
\item la la la
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\section{The End}
\begin{frame}{MWE $\vert$ The End}
\begin{itemize}
\item But the end is really the best part
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
