To manage TOC in bearmer I normally use these codes:

\AtBeginSection[]{
\frame<beamer>{ 
\frametitle{Table of Contents}   
\tableofcontents[currentsection,subsections] 
 }
  }
\begin{frame}{Table of Contents}
\pdfbookmark[0]{Contents}{toc}
\tableofcontents{}
\end{frame}

I came across this presentation. This have TOC for sections only in two columns and then at the start of each section it has TOC for the section and subsections (please have a look on this nice presentation).

I wonder how to get such TOC and and color scheme for this WARSAW theme. Thanks in advance.

EDIT

I found that to get this beamer theme this code was used:

\documentclass[compress]{beamer}
\mode<presentation>
{
 \usetheme{Warsaw}
}

You can use the multicol package to switch to two-column mode for the ToCs; the color for certain parts can be changed by setting the appropriate template or color template. A little example with two-column ToCs and with a variation of the color for the sections in the upper navigation bar, and the sections in the partial ToCs at the beginning of each section:

\documentclass[compress]{beamer}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
\usepackage{multicol}

\colorlet{mycolor}{orange!80!black}% change this color to suit your needs

  • Thanks for your reply. Multiple columns TOC worked. Thanks. What about other things? – MYaseen208 Sep 24 '11 at 1:57
  • @MYaseen208: see my updated answer. – Gonzalo Medina Sep 24 '11 at 2:38
  • In the linked presentation, TOC only shows the sections for the specific section. – MYaseen208 Sep 24 '11 at 2:50

    @MYaseen208: You can use the option hideothersubsections in the \tableofcontents options to only display the subsections in the current section. For more information about the different styles, see section "Adding a table of contents" (10.5 in my version) in the beamer manual, which usually goes under the name beameruserguide.pdf – fabikw Sep 24 '11 at 5:42

    @MYaseen208: see again my updated answer. Change the definition of mycolor, according to your needs. – Gonzalo Medina Sep 24 '11 at 16:22

This is the closer I could get, building on Gonzalo's answer. Notice the hideothersubsections as well as the beamertemplate. I couldn't make it so that subsections doesn't go over the other column.
