I want to produce a beamer presentation exactly as the one attached, it is like the Antibes theme but not exactly. I need to know which theme it is or if is it a customized theme. Antibes theme does not include the Author or the title at the footer, which is exactly what I need to add. enter image description here

A very quick way to add a footline is using the hackthefootline package:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usetheme{Antibes}

\title{Title}
\author{Author}

\usepackage[twocols]{hackthefootline}

\begin{document}

\section{Section}
\subsection{Subsection}
\begin{frame}
    abc
\end{frame} 
    
\end{document}

enter image description here

Alternatively you could load some other theme for the footline before loading your Antibes theme:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usetheme{Warsaw}
\usetheme{Antibes}

\title{Title}
\author{Author}

\begin{document}

\section{Section}
\subsection{Subsection}
\begin{frame}
    abc
\end{frame} 
    
\end{document}

enter image description here

Beside Sam Carters easy-to-use answers, an additional way, which loads no extra packages or themes, could be to edit the footline using \setbeamertemplate and \usebeamercolor commands:

\usetheme{Antibes}
\author{An Author}
\title{A Long Title}

\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{} % Turns Navigation Symbols off
\setbeamertemplate{footline}{%
\hbox{\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=1.2em,wd=.5\paperwidth,right,dp=.6em]{palette primary}%
    \insertauthor\hspace*{1em}%
\end{beamercolorbox}%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[ht=1.2em,wd=.5\paperwidth,left,dp=.6em]{title in head/foot}%
    \hspace*{1em}\inserttitle
\end{beamercolorbox}}%
}

\begin{document}

\section{section}
\subsection{subsection}
\begin{frame}
    Some Content
\end{frame}

\end{document}

enter image description here

Edit: As Sam Carter pointed out correctly in the comments, there are different possibilities. The one mentioned above with \beamercolorbox may be the most robust way. Throws no overfull box error anymore and takes care of possible descenders.

Here the other parts I suggested earlier:

One with the \dimexpr version:

{\usebeamercolor[bg]{palette primary}} % Just to make the color available in \colorbox
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{} % Turns Navigation Symbols off
\setbeamertemplate{footline}{%
\colorbox{black}{%
  \parbox[][1em][c]{\dimexpr.5\paperwidth-2\fboxsep}{\hfill \color{white}\insertauthor\hspace*{1em}}}%
\colorbox{palette primary.bg}{%
  \parbox[][1em][c]{\dimexpr.5\paperwidth-2\fboxsep}{\color{white}\hspace*{1em}\inserttitle\hfill}}%
}

and here my first idea with simple \parbox and \fboxsep:

\setlength\fboxsep{0pt}
{\usebeamercolor[bg]{palette primary}} % Just to make the color available in \colorbox
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{} % Turns Navigation Symbols off
\setbeamertemplate{footline}{%
\colorbox{black}{%
  \parbox[][1.5em][c]{.5\paperwidth}{\hfill \color{white}\insertauthor\hspace*{1em}}}%
\colorbox{palette primary.bg}{%
  \parbox[][1.5em][c]{.5\paperwidth}{\color{white}\hspace*{1em}\inserttitle\hfill}}%
}

  • Your parboxes are too wide. Due to the fboxsep added by the colorboxes, your footline will be wider than the page and cause overfull box warnings. Commented Aug 19, 2023 at 20:44

    Try with \dimexpr.5\paperwidth-2\fboxsep Commented Aug 19, 2023 at 20:49
  • (or use beamercolorboxes) Commented Aug 19, 2023 at 20:50
  • Of course, you're right. Just forgot. I set fboxsep to zero. But your versions will also work.

  • I would suggest beamercolorboxes. If you copy the definition of one of the footlines from beamer, you will get the same spacing around your text Commented Aug 19, 2023 at 20:53
