Re: Beamer/Lyx bullets
Thanks a lot, Jurgen-- I was reluctant to get into defining new Beamer templates, but it looks as if that is what was needed. I guess one has to become a more experienced Beamer user to venture into this kind of template creation. It would be great if Lyx allowed you to do that from its settings menu-- you had mentioned that it works in the article class, but I guess it would have to be extended to the presentation class. Anyway-- your modification did the trick, and I am grateful.

Re: Beamer/Lyx bullets
I am trying to get a table of contents slide (this is a presentation class) in which each level (section, subsection, subsubsection, etc.) has its own bullet shape. For instance: Sections will have a ball, subsectons will have a triangle, subsubsection an asterisks, etc. So far, nothing that I had tried did it.

It would be easier to help you if you would give such important information right from the beginning (or even better, provide a minimal example file). The toc is not an itemize list. Try \setbeamertemplate{section in toc}[circle] \setbeamertemplate{subsection in toc}[ball] If this does not what you want, please provide a minimal example lyx file.

Re: Beamer/Lyx bullets
Hi Jurgen, I tried the ones that failed AFTER trying the ones you suggested, but all failed. I have put the statement in the Latex preamble under Document/settings. I am not using itemize subitem explicitly anywhere here-- I am creating a table of contents with section, subsection, subsubsection-- Lyx is dong the rest. I know it should be doable, since I have seen presentations with the correct appearance, but I do not have the Lyx/Latex source for those.

Re: Beamer/Lyx bullets
As mentioned in my original post, I want the bullets for the section, subsection and subsubsections to be all different from each other (each level should have its own bullet shape in the table of contents). I tried to put in the Latex Preamble: \setbeamertemplate{section subsection}[triangle] or \setbeamertemplate{section subsection}[circle triangle] and \setbeamertemplate{subsection}[triangle] but evidently this syntax is wrong, since it did not work. Thanks for the explanation about the Lyx behavior.

Beamer/Lyx bullets
I am using Lyx (2.2.1) to create a presentation with the Copenhagen theme. The bullets appear identical at all levels, and when I change them using the Document/Settings/Latex Preamble/Bullets dialog, I see no change in the appearance of the bullets at the various levels (Section, subsection, etc.). I would like the second level bullets to appear differently than the top level, but I seem unable to do that. I tried it also with the Berkeley theme, with the same disappointing results.
