Beamer query, center justify \frametitle

Question

In beamer, to center justify the frame-title, one uses this:

\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}[default][center]

This is what I have as default:

\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}{\textbf{\insertframetitle} \par }

When I add the [default][center] options, and have this:

\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}[default][center]{\textbf{\insertframetitle} \par }

It won't compile with a missing /begin{document} error message. I guess I am not respecting some syntax rules.... Can anyone help, how do I modify my existing default setup, to have the frametitle center justified.

Cheers,

Jat

If you want to have centered bold-faced frame titles, you can use

\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}[default][center]

to center the titles and

\setbeamerfont{frametitle}{series=\bfseries}

to have boldface font. A complete example:

\documentclass{beamer}

\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}[default][center]
\setbeamerfont{frametitle}{series=\bfseries}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{A test frame}
test
\end{frame}

\end{document} 

The result:
