Adding a top progress navigation bar in beamer

Question

I want to add a top progress navigation bar to my presentation but I'm unable to figure out how. I searched google, all I was able to find were questions on how to remove that.

This is an example of what I want exactly:

Code:

\documentclass[10pt, xcolor=x11names]{beamer}
\usecolortheme{seagull}
\useoutertheme{infolines}
\usefonttheme[onlymath]{serif}
\setbeamertemplate{headline}[default]
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
\mode<beamer>{\setbeamertemplate{blocks}[rounded][shadow=true]}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}
\setbeamercolor{block body example}{fg=blue, bg=black!20}

Edit:

I just found that I should use this:

\useoutertheme[subsection=false]{miniframes}

However the bullets of the subsections appear in a vertical way (not horizontal as in the pic above) which is sooo ugly. How to solve this?!

Answer 1

This kind of navigation can be added with \useoutertheme{miniframes}. In its default configuration the bullets are below each other, to get them in a row, use \documentclass[compress]{beamer}.

\documentclass[10pt, xcolor=x11names,compress]{beamer}
\usecolortheme{seagull}
\useoutertheme{infolines}
\usefonttheme[onlymath]{serif}
\setbeamertemplate{headline}[default]
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
\mode<beamer>{\setbeamertemplate{blocks}[rounded][shadow=true]}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}
\setbeamercolor{block body example}{fg=blue, bg=black!20}

\useoutertheme[subsection=false]{miniframes}

        \section{Section3}
        \begin{frame}

        \frame{}
