“
Boadilla” is a quite plain theme in beamer class; I like plain styles, but I also want a headline in the top indicating the sections so that I can know where I am when I’m giving a speech. Thus I gave some slight changes to this plain theme: the default headline has been replaced with “infolines“, while the definition of the outer theme “infolines” has also been modified as I don’t have any subsections.
The original headline:
\ifbeamer@secheader\else\setbeamertemplate{headline}[default]\fi
The modified version:
\ifbeamer@secheader\else\setbeamertemplate{headline}[infolines]\fi

Dear Yihui,
I like this change! But I do not which file I am supposed to modify? Is it the beamer.cls? Sorry for the simple question,
and thanks for sharing the info!
laia
The file 'beamerthemeBoadilla.sty' which is usually under the directory '/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/themes/theme/'
Wonderful! Thanks for the answer!
