Until now I was not successful while trying to redefine a beamer template. In texwelt.de I found the hint to just use \setbeamertemplate, but this does not work. 

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{default}
\AtBeginDocument{%
\setbeamertemplate*{block example begin}
{
  \par\vskip\medskipamount%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep*=.75ex]{block title example}
    \usebeamerfont*{block title example}\insertblocktitle%
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  {\parskip0pt\par}%
  \ifbeamercolorempty[bg]{block title example}
  {}
  {\ifbeamercolorempty[bg]{block body example}{}{\nointerlineskip\vskip-0.5pt}}%
  \usebeamerfont{block body example}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep*=.75ex,vmode]{block body example}%
    \ifbeamercolorempty[bg]{block body example}{\vskip-.25ex}{\vskip-.75ex}\vbox{}%
}
}

\begin{document}
A
\end{document}

  • try to remove the \AtBeginDocument stuff – user36296 Dec 10 '15 at 10:46
  • Welcome to TX.SX, but in your code last \begin{beamercolorbox} doesn't have corresponding \end{beamercolorbox}, your main text doesn't contain any frame and you don't explain what you want to obtain with this redefinition. How can we help you? – Ignasi Dec 10 '15 at 10:46
  • The \end{beamercolorbox} remains unchanged, so I does not have to repeat it. Frame is also not required as the error message shows yet. \AtBeginDocument is also required. – Jürgen Dec 10 '15 at 11:02
  • Addendum: I like to play with some graphical elements, but this is not relevant at the Moment. – Jürgen Dec 10 '15 at 11:12
  • @Jürgen Does it work without \AtBeginDocument? – user36296 Dec 10 '15 at 11:59

\AtBeginDocument is not necessary and the command to set a beamer template is \setbeamertemplate not \setbeamertemplate*. The following code works fine for me:

\documentclass{beamer}

\setbeamertemplate{block example begin}
{
  \par\vskip\medskipamount%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep*=.75ex]{block title example}
    \usebeamerfont*{block title example}\insertblocktitle%
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  {\parskip0pt\par}%
  \ifbeamercolorempty[bg]{block title example}
  {}
  {\ifbeamercolorempty[bg]{block body example}{}{\nointerlineskip\vskip-0.5pt}}%
  \usebeamerfont{block body example}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep*=.75ex,vmode]{block body example}%
    \ifbeamercolorempty[bg]{block body example}{\vskip-.25ex}{\vskip-.75ex}\vbox{}%
}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{exampleblock}{Example}
    Block content.
\end{exampleblock}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

  • OMG, the asterisk caused the problem! Small cause, large effect. I will carry on and implement my changes in this template and perhaps come back again. Many thanks for your help! – Jürgen Dec 11 '15 at 10:47
