Horizontal style – blue bar leaves a small gap
Opened this issue · 5 comments
Yes it is meant to cover the whole width. The problem here is, that this is sometimes hard to track down.
As a first example, my talks do not have that, cf. https://ronnybergmann.net/talks/2022-JuliaCon-Manoptjl-extended.pdf.
Ah but I see mine have that on the right -.-
Usually this happens, when some end of a line is not “escaped” properly, i.e. when you look at the code of the style you have a lot of lines ending in %
, since without that, some definitions / text within fields might introduce this.
And yes, I spent quite some time to reduce these from happening, so with them not happening in my talk, it would be great to have a (as small/short as possible) example that reproduces this (on your machine and hopefully also on mine).
Then it might be still a matter of a few hours trying to find the culprit. For both your bug as well as mine.
Hmm, that's curious that you don't have them in your slides. I already have it for the code snippet below where there's no %
-s at all.
\documentclass[aspectratio=169]{beamer}
\usetheme[slogan=english,frametotal=true,style=horizontal]{NTNU}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
content...
\end{frame}
\end{document}
As I said it is probably missing %
and most probably somewhere in the style files.
Sorry for not realising you meant the .sty-file which I assumed would be identical for the both of us.
In beamerouterthemeNTNUhorizontal.sty I added %
after the first curly brace of the \hbox{}
below
\hbox{
\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.666666\paperwidth,ht=\footlineheight,dp=0.4\footlineheight,left]{palette tertiary}%
\hspace*{3em}%
\vspace*{.1\footlineheight}%
\usebeamercolor[fg]{page number in head/foot}%
\usebeamerfont{page number in head/foot}%
\insertframenumber{}%
\ifntnu@displayTotalFrameNumber%
\ /\ \inserttotalframenumber%
\fi%
\end{beamercolorbox}\hspace{-1pt}%Hacked up to now
\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=\footlineheight,dp=0.4\footlineheight,right]{palette tertiary}%
\hfill%
\vspace*{-.1\footlineheight}
\includegraphics[height=.8\footlineheight]{ntnu_uten_slagord_neg.png}
\hspace*{2em}%
\end{beamercolorbox}
}%
which led to what you describe, the gap appearing on the right-hand side.
Reducing the length of the \hspace{-1pt}%Hacked up to now
reduces the size of the gap on the right, but leads to a gap between the boxes, and removing it completely yields a very thin, but visible, gap between them.
So the issue seems to be to find appropriate sizes for the colorboxes and the negative \hspace
to ensure there's no gap between them.
Thanks for narrowing that down – as you can also see, the \hspace
is already a hack to remove one of the lines, maybe also just -0.1pt
is enough?
But yes, in general fixing these by finding the right dimensions would be very welcome (and probably quite some experimenting).
