problem with Progress bar position

Question

Here after mixing some codes on internet, I made the desired presentation based on metropolis slides. First problem is I want to have the progress bar to be placed under headline. (Using footline place is somehow ugly and using headline keyword would place the progress bar in top of the slides). Also another thing I need is to stop counting the frames both in page number inserted at bottom of page and in the progress bar counter. Thanks in advance to whom may help!

Answer 1

The metropolis theme has option to place the progress bar below the frametitle. To remove the frame numbering from the footline, you could use \setbeamertemplate{frame numbering}[none]

\documentclass{beamer}

\usetheme[progressbar=frametitle]{metropolis}
\setbeamertemplate{frame numbering}[none]
\begin{document}

    \begin{frame}{test}  
            1
    \end{frame}

    \begin{frame}{bla}  
            2
    \end{frame}    
\end{document}
