How to set the different fontsize according to different levels in an enumitem list in beamer?

Question

I use enumitem in beamer to create a enumerate list as follows:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Dresden}
\useinnertheme{circles}
\usepackage{enumitem} 

\newlist{enum}{enumerate}{5}  
\setlist[enum]{label*=\arabic*., listparindent=21pt, font=\bfseries\tiny } 

\setitemize{label=\usebeamerfont*{itemize item}%
  \usebeamercolor[fg]{itemize item}
  \usebeamertemplate{itemize item}}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Frame title}

\begin{enum}
\item First item 

\begin{enum}
\item First subitem
\item Second subitem

\begin{enum}
\item First subitem
\item Second subitem

\begin{itemize}
\item First subitem
\item Second subitem

\end{itemize}
\end{enum}
\end{enum}

\item Second subitem
\end{enum}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

The result is: The fonts all the levels are same. enter image description here

But how to set different font size with corrospending different levels in the list as follows? How to make higher level with higher text size? enter image description here

You mean .tex source of the second beamer slide is not available with you. — texenthusiast, Mar 02 '13 at 05:30
The second I use {\huge \begin{enum} \item First subitem \item Second subitem } to make it in every level of lists. But it's dirty. How to make it better use a global setting? — WonderTree, Mar 02 '13 at 05:44
I hope this may help Changing font size of list items and subitems — texenthusiast, Mar 02 '13 at 05:45
Thank you for your advice. But that method works just for itemize, enumerate, doesn't for enumitem, I try \setbeamertemplate{enum subbody begin}{\tiny} It doesn't work. — WonderTree, Mar 02 '13 at 05:57
Please see this Trouble combining enumitem and beamer. When you use beamer class stick to \setbeamertemplate{} option don't use enumitem package designed for other class. — texenthusiast, Mar 02 '13 at 06:04
I am a newbie, It seems make things more complicated. I still don't catch what should I do. — WonderTree, Mar 02 '13 at 06:16
Even i am also a newbie trying to help you with what i know. — texenthusiast, Mar 02 '13 at 06:21
Here is an working example for you. I have to go for sleep. Bye — texenthusiast, Mar 02 '13 at 06:58
Thank you for your help! I resolve it now on another simple way. — WonderTree, Mar 02 '13 at 07:04

I resolve this by the command "before" in enumitem.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Dresden}
\useinnertheme{circles}
\usepackage{enumitem} 

\newlist{enum}{enumerate}{3}  
\setlist[enum, 1]{label*=\arabic*., listparindent=21pt, font=\bfseries\tiny, before*=\huge } 
\setlist[enum, 2]{label*=\arabic*., listparindent=21pt, font=\bfseries\tiny, before*=\large }
\setlist[enum, 3]{label*=\arabic*., listparindent=21pt, font=\bfseries\tiny, before*=\small }

\setlist[itemize,1]{before*=\tiny}

\setitemize{label=\usebeamerfont*{itemize item}%
  \usebeamercolor[fg]{itemize item}
  \usebeamertemplate{itemize item}}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Frame title}

\begin{enum}
\item First item 

\begin{enum}
\item First subitem
\item Second subitem

\begin{enum}
\item First subitem
\item Second subitem

\begin{itemize}
\item First subitem
\item Second subitem

\end{itemize}
\end{enum}
\end{enum}

\item Second subitem
\end{enum}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

It works as follows:

Instead of attempting to use enumitem with beamer, use beamer's own mechanism:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Dresden}
\useinnertheme{circles}

\setbeamertemplate{enumerate item}[default]
\setbeamertemplate{enumerate subitem}[default]
\setbeamertemplate{enumerate subsubitem}[default]

\setbeamerfont{itemize/enumerate subbody}{size=\footnotesize}
\setbeamerfont{itemize/enumerate subsubbody}{size=\tiny}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Frame title}

\begin{enumerate}
\item First item 

\begin{enumerate}
\item First subitem
\item Second subitem

\begin{enumerate}
\item First subitem
\item Second subitem

\end{enumerate}
\end{enumerate}

\item Second subitem
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

+1 for not using enumitem within beamer! – Feb 25 '18 at 15:46 — , Feb 25 '18 at 15:46
