Change Title Font Color

[Ben Sel]

Sorry to bother you all with what I suspect is a simple question.  I'm making a poster on Overleaf using the beamerposter package and the confposter theme.  I want to change the color of the text giving the poster title from what it is now (blueish) to red.  I've tried inserting the line \setbeamercolor{title in headline}{fg=red} into the preamble without success (it does change the author and institution font colors to red, though).  Any advice on what to do?

Thanks!

The (abbreviated) poster code is:

\documentclass[final]{beamer}

\usepackage[scale=1.24]{beamerposter} % Use the beamerposter package for laying out the poster

\usepackage[sort&compress,comma,super]{natbib}

\def\newblock{} % To avoid a compilation error about a function \newblock undefined

\usetheme{confposter} % Use the confposter theme supplied with this template

\setbeamercolor{title in headline}{fg=red}

\setbeamercolor{block title}{fg=red,bg=white} % Colors of the block titles

\setbeamercolor{block body}{fg=black,bg=white} % Colors of the body of blocks

\setbeamercolor{block alerted title}{fg=white,bg=dblue!70} % Colors of the highlighted block titles

\setbeamercolor{block alerted body}{fg=black,bg=dblue!10} % Colors of the body of highlighted blocks

% Define the column widths and overall poster size

\newlength{\sepwid}

\newlength{\onecolwid}

\newlength{\twocolwid}

\newlength{\threecolwid}

\setlength{\paperwidth}{48in} % A0 width: 46.8in

\setlength{\paperheight}{36in} % A0 height: 33.1in

\setlength{\sepwid}{0.015\paperwidth} % Separation width (white space) between columns

\setlength{\onecolwid}{0.25\paperwidth} % Width of one column

\setlength{\twocolwid}{0.44\paperwidth} % Width of two columns

\setlength{\threecolwid}{0.708\paperwidth} % Width of three columns

\setlength{\topmargin}{-0.5in} % Reduce the top margin size

%-----------------------------------------------------------

\usepackage{graphicx}  % Required for including images

\usepackage{booktabs} % Top and bottom rules for tables

-------------------------------------

\title{Fancy Eye-catching Witty Title} % Poster title

\author{Persons}

\institute{Department of Stuffology, Foobar University}

No I had to scrap it. I'm sorry. Good luck.

Hi,

This sets the colour for block titles, not the headline title. We've tried \setbeamercolor{title in headline}{fg=red} but somehow it didn't work either.

Ignasi wrote to me with the following code which can be identified in the sty document, and simply replace "jblue" with "fg" you'll be able to change the colour of the title!

%==============================================================================
% build the poster title

\setbeamertemplate{headline}{
\leavevmode
