Beamer: Removing Headline And Its Space On A Single Frame (for Plan), But Keeping The Footline

Answer :

Ok, after more investigation (in the beamer sources :)), I have found the solution. For those who will search like me in the future, here it is in a simple small example :

{ % to delimit a block (we only want to remove the header for this frame) \makeatletter % to change template     \setbeamertemplate{headline}[default] % not mandatory, but I though it was better to set it blank     \def\beamer@entrycode{\vspace*{-\headheight}} % here is the part we are interested in :) \makeatother \begin{frame}{Table of contents} % and our simple frame     \tableofcontents \end{frame} } 

It is also possible to define an environment to be able to use it more easily. To do so, use this part of code before the \begin{document} :

\makeatletter     \newenvironment{withoutheadline}{         \setbeamertemplate{headline}[default]         \def\beamer@entrycode{\vspace*{-\headheight}}     }{} \makeatother 

And for your frame :

\begin{withoutheadline}     \begin{frame}{Table of contents} % and our simple frame         \tableofcontents     \end{frame} \end{withoutheadline} 

Hope this will help :)

Enjoy!

\makeatletter \newenvironment{noheadline}{     \setbeamertemplate{headline}{}     \addtobeamertemplate{frametitle}{\vspace*{-0.9\baselineskip}}{} }{} \makeatother 

With this little modification you can use noheadline environment for several slides together.

\begin{noheadline} \begin{frame}{Table of contents} % and our simple frame     \tableofcontents \end{frame}  \begin{frame}{Table of contents 2} % and our simple frame     \tableofcontents \end{frame} \end{noheadline}
