Hi there,

I use beamer as the main package for slide. I have several problems when
I hope to customize the slide look.

1) how to reduce the height of frametitlebox? Now it seems too height
compared with the whole frame heihgt.

2) how to number the section and subsection in the header? I use Madrid
theme with option ``secheader''. I hope the section or subsection
displayed in the header have numbered.

3) how to change the section counter? For example, I hope the first
section in a specific slide start from 4.

Any suggestions will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jinsong

it seems that the following code can control the height of frametitle,
however, i find there is a little gap between headline and frametitle.
Would you like to correct it?

\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}{%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=\paperwidth,ht=3ex,dp=0ex,left]{frametitle}%
\hspace*{2ex}\insertframetitle%
\end{beamercolorbox}}

i seems to see a beam of hope, however, i cannot find a way to put the
\insertsectionheadnumber in a correct place. Help me, please...

\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}{%
\nointerlineskip%

\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=\paperwidth,ht=2ex,dp=0.75ex,left]{frametitle}%
\hspace*{2ex}\strut\insertframetitle\strut\par%

\end{beamercolorbox}}
