I have been looking through a lot of questions and their relative answers to solve this, but could not quite find the help I need. I want to create a Beamer template for my frames and my title frame, eventually derivated from the Goettingen theme (p. 150, CTAN documentation).

I tried creating my own .sty files, defining and redefining the commands, working with the head- and footlines, etc. but could not manage to get exactly what I want, and I'm getting lost in all the possibilities. The closest MWE I got so far is the following :

\documentclass[french]{beamer}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%PACKAGES%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} %\usepackage{authblk} \usepackage{tikz,graphicx} %pictures, graphs, tikz elts \usetikzlibrary{calc,shapes,decorations.pathmorphing,backgrounds,plotmarks,3d,patterns} \graphicspath{{./Medias/}}

%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%DATA%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%

\logo{\includegraphics[width=0.1\paperwidth]{LOGO.PNG}} \title[Short title]{Main Title} \subtitle{This long subtitle might need to be displayed on several lines sometimes.} \author{\textsc{Name} Surname\inst{1,2}} %\author[1]{\textsc{Super} Visor 1\inst{1}}\ %\author[2]{\textsc{Super} Visor 2\inst{2}} \date{\today}

\institute{ \inst{1} Uni for Students\ University \and \inst{2} Place for work\ Start-up }

\usetheme[hideothersubsections,right]{Goettingen}

\AtBeginSection[] { \begin{frame} \frametitle{Table of Contents} \tableofcontents[currentsection] \end{frame} }

%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%FRAMES%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\makeatletter \setbeamertemplate{title page}{ \begin{flushleft} \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=1cm]{logo} \insertlogo\par \end{beamercolorbox} \end{flushleft} \vbox{} \vfill \begingroup \centering \begin{beamercolorbox}[sep=4pt,center]{title} \usebeamerfont{title}\inserttitle\par% \ifx\insertsubtitle@empty% \else% \vskip0.25em% {\usebeamerfont{subtitle}\usebeamercolor[fg]{subtitle}\insertsubtitle\par}% \fi%
\end{beamercolorbox}% \vskip1em\par \begin{beamercolorbox}[sep=8pt,center]{author} \usebeamerfont{author}\insertauthor \end{beamercolorbox} \begin{beamercolorbox}[sep=8pt,center]{institute} \usebeamerfont{institute}\insertinstitute \end{beamercolorbox} \begin{beamercolorbox}[sep=8pt,center]{date} \usebeamerfont{date}\insertdate \end{beamercolorbox}\vskip0.5em {\usebeamercolor[fg]{titlegraphic}\inserttitlegraphic\par} \endgroup \vfill } \makeatother

\makeatletter \setbeamertemplate{frametitle}{ \begin{flushleft} \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=1cm]{logo} \insertlogo\par \end{beamercolorbox} \end{flushleft} \hspace{2pt} } \makeatother

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%START DOCUMENT%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\begin{document}

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

\begin{frame} \frametitle{There Is No Largest Prime Number} \framesubtitle{The proof uses \textit{reductio ad absurdum}.} \begin{theorem} There is no largest prime number. \end{theorem} \begin{enumerate} \item<1-| alert@1> Suppose $p$ were the largest prime number. \item<2-> Let $q$ be the product of the first $p$ numbers. \item<3-> Then $q+1$ is not divisible by any of them. \item<1-> But $q + 1$ is greater than $1$, thus divisible by some prime number not in the first $p$ numbers. \end{enumerate} \end{frame}

\end{document}

So far, it gives me these frames :

Title Frame and Frame

But I'm looking for something like this (.ppt made) :

Title Frame ok and Frame ok

So, for now, I could not manage to get the headline to accept the logo and the supervisors' names vertically centered, and I would love to be able to customize the foot- and headline like I did in a report document, i.e. with :

\lhead{\insertlogo} 
\chead{\bfseries Title}
\rhead{ \textsl{Report}} 
\lfoot{YXX} 
\cfoot{\bfseries \textsl {\small \textcolor{Red1}{\fbox{IMPORTANT THING HERE}}}}
\rfoot{\thepage}

Thank you for any help you could provide, it is much appreciated.

    Please don't mix multiple unrelated problems in a single post. A custom headline does not really have any connection to changing the colours in the sidebar. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Aug 30 '23 at 12:29
  • @samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz : I must admit I'm totally lost and do not know where to approach all of this from. I'm truly sorry if the post does not fit one or multiple forum's rules. I am just looking for several ways or methods to get the presentation to look how it should. – Marck Aug 30 '23 at 14:27

    I suggest to google for https://www.google.com/search?q=beamer+tutorial+filetype%3Apdf. There are several, of about 30-50 pages, introducing into the standards. // If you want to design from scratch I suggest reading and trying https://www.lucidchart.com/techblog/2016/12/07/how-to-make-a-presentation-in-latex/ . – MS-SPO Aug 30 '23 at 14:38

    @MS-SPO thank you ! This is indeed very helpful. I hope that I will be able to get everything right in time, and I keep it pinned for now – Marck Aug 31 '23 at 11:25
