Using beamerswitch seems to impose 11pt font size #1

I have a presentation with \documentclass[10pt]{beamer}. Simply switching to beamerswitch seems to impose [11pt] (and I also checked with 12pt).

All that is happening here is that beamer is not seeing your font size selection, and therefore it uses the default. beamerswitch does not automatically pass on class options to beamer, or indeed article, to avoid potential confusion when switching between the two. I am happy to be swayed by popular opinion if people think it should.

As explained under ‘Tips for further customization’, the way to convert a document from beamer to beamerswitch is to convert your original \documentclass command into a \PassOptionsToClass one (note the change from square brackets to braces):

\PassOptionsToClass{10pt}{beamer}
\documentclass{beamerswitch}

...and a relevant warning was issued which I had not noticed.

Maybe you should make it clearer in the documentation that extra beamer options are not passed on.

Agreed. I'll reopen and tag this as a documentation issue.

Thank you for your feedback, and for using the class.
