How can we chang Title slid

[shivakumarpatil]

Is it possible to get title page with center justification. Title of the Talk , Authors, Institutes, Institute logo and Date all should be justified at the center.

A solution is the following workaround using beamer's default title page: (Note that this also changes the order of the displayed information)

\documentclass{beamer}

\usetheme{metropolis}

% ADD THESE LINES AFTER LOADING THE metropolis THEME
\setbeamertemplate{title page}[default]
\setbeamercolor{titlelike}{parent=frametitle}   % adds a dark background to the title box, may be deleted
% --------

\title{Presentation title}
\subtitle{Presentation subtitle}
\author{Author}
\institute{Institute}
\begin{document}
    \frame{\maketitle}
\end{document}

This results in

If you want to remove the background of the frame title and add a title line, remove the \setbeamercolor{titlelike}{parent=frametitle} (indicated with a comment) and replace the \frame{\maketitle} with the following code:

\frame{%
    \maketitle
    \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]
        \def\xmargin{1cm}     % Left and right margin of the title line
        \def\yshift{1.25cm}   % Moves the title line upwards (-1.25cm moves title line downwards)

        \draw[mLightBrown,line width=0.5pt] (current page.west) ++(\xmargin,\yshift) -- ++({\paperwidth-2*\xmargin},0);
    \end{tikzpicture}
}

It is not required to load tikz in this example since metopolis loads it automatically

You may adjust \xmargin and \ymargin to justify the title line
Also, it could be necessary to compile the presentation twice since the separation line uses tikz's remember picture option

If everything went right your title frame looks like this:
