I'm trying to create my own theme, but as a newbie I have encountered few problems which I wasn't able to solve...

I'm using \useoutertheme{sidebar} option and it automaticly creates TOC with sections and subsections, which is as it should be. However, in one section I have

\begin{itemize}[<+->]
\item One
\item Two
\item Three
\end{itemize}

and this shows as a multiple section entries in TOC. Frame number, however, is not affected by \pause command and multiple sections.

Any ideas?

\documentclass[compress,mathserif]{beamer}
\mode<presentation>
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{tikz}
\useoutertheme[width=2cm,height=2cm]{sidebar}
\title[]{Long title}
\author[]{Author}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\titlepage
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\section{Lists}
\frametitle{Bullets and lists}
\begin{overprint}
\begin{itemize}[<+->]
\item One 
\item Two 
\item Three 
\end{itemize} 
\end{overprint} 
\end{frame} 
\end{document}

    Your code snippet is useless since it doesn't allow us to reproduce the problem, Please add to your question a minimal working example illustrating the undesired bahaviour.

  • Exactly as @GonzaloMedina says: until you post a short full .tex file exactly showing your problem, you cannot be helped.

The problem comes from using \section inside a frame with overlay specification (in any case, using \section inside a frame doesn't make much sense). All you have to do to solve your problem is to move \section outside the frame environment:

\documentclass[compress,mathserif]{beamer}
\mode<presentation>
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{tikz}

\useoutertheme[width=2cm,height=2cm]{sidebar}
\title[]{Long title}
\author[]{Author}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\titlepage
\end{frame}

\section{Lists}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Bullets and lists}
\begin{overprint}
\begin{itemize}[<+->]
\item One 
\item Two 
\item Three 
\end{itemize} 
\end{overprint} 
\end{frame} 

\end{document}

Heres the first frame of your example code showing the problem:

and here's the first frame of my example code, once \section was moved outside frame:
