problems with beamer under the new exporter: no theme; unable to specify heading level; slides fill from bottom up

problems with beamer under the new exporter: no theme; unable to specify heading level; slides fill from bottom up

[Christopher W. Ryan]

Using org-mode 8.2.4-1 on Linux Mint.

Below is a minimal working example of my problem. The trouble is that
the Berlin theme is not applied--it remains the default theme.

Also, the first slide (after the title slide) seems to "fill from the
bottom up" rather than from the top down. That is, there is a big gap
between the word "Chemistry" and the phrase "Malodorous reduced sulfur
compounds."

Lastly, the H:n option seems to have no effect, regardless of whether
n=1, 2, or 3.

Appreciate any advice.  Thanks.

Do you need to export a sub-tree?  I have no experience in anything
other than full file export for Beamer.  A sub-tree export doesn't work
for me on this file.

This is a beamer issue and nothing to do with org per se.  There are a
couple of options (untested) if you don't like the vertical
spacing.  You can add a "\vfill" line at the end or you can add the [t]
option to the frame.

Hello the list,

I meet exactly the same problem.
I just followed this web-page :
http://emacs-fu.blogspot.ca/2009/10/writing-presentations-with-org-mode-and.html
but surprisingly I do not succeed to change the beamer theme. I do not get
for example CambridgeUS.

Your help is welcome.

Best wishes

Jo.
