Some beamer
themes provide footlines -- and some do not.
Now, if one wants to have a footline, he is restricted to the (outer) themes providing them or loads multiple themes. On top of that, these provided footlines are only configurable by redefining them as a whole, which is quite uncomfortable and yields many lines of additional code.
hackthefootline
is a package taking over, defining and redefining different footlines, so they can be configured using key-value syntax. Also, it is possible (but not recommended as it might distract your audience) to switch between different footline types during a presentation.
hackthefootline
depends on the packages ifthen
and pgfkeys
and -- obviously -- on the beamer
class.
Additional sophisticated features included also require appendixnumberbeamer
(only when using beamer v3.48 and older), etoolbox
, calc
and numprint
, but these four dependencies can be resolved by passing some options to the hackthefootline
package.
