Eliminate the gap between navigation and title in Beamer Presentation

Question

I am trying to eliminate the line gap between the navigation and title. Any ideas how I can remove it? I am using the \useoutertheme{miniframes} theme.

Thanks!

Answer 1

The miniframes outer theme normally includes another coloured bar for subsections (which is not visible with your colour choices).

You can switch it off with the subsection=false option:

\documentclass{beamer}

\useoutertheme[subsection=false]{miniframes}
\usecolortheme{whale}

\begin{document}

\section{Title}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{title}
  abc
\end{frame}

\end{document}
