I have set my beamer file with these settings :
```
\documentclass[compress]{beamer}
\mode<presentation>
{
\usetheme{PaloAlto}
\useoutertheme[footline=authortitle]{miniframes}
}
\setbeamertemplate{headline}{}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{beamerthemesplit,amsthm,amsmath}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,graphicx,tikz,amsthm,dirtytalk,mathtools}
\usepackage{MnSymbol,blindtext,hyperref,geometry}
\geometry{papersize={12.8cm,10cm}}
\PassOptionsToPackage{height=1cm}{beamerouterthemesidebar}
\DeclareMathOperator{\Aut}{Aut}
\DeclareMathOperator{\Irr}{Irr}
\DeclareMathOperator{\spec}{Spec}
\DeclareMathOperator{\L-spec}{L-Spec}
\DeclareMathOperator{\Q-spec}{Q-Spec}
\DeclareMathOperator{\cent}{Cent}
```
But, still the results comes out to be this:
[![enter image description here][1]][1]
**I want that top bar that shows the Title and the Section to go away and only the Frame Title to appear**. How can I do that ?
I thought that `\setbeamertemplate{headline}{}` would do the trick but it doesn't.
Thanks!

The layout you want to achieve sounds pretty much like off the rack `PaloAlto` theme, so you just need to remove all other themes you load after `PaloAlto`:
```
\documentclass[compress]{beamer}
\mode<presentation>
{
\usetheme{PaloAlto}
% \useoutertheme[footline=authortitle]{miniframes}
}
%\setbeamertemplate{headline}{}
\usepackage{array}
%\usepackage{hyperref}
%\usepackage{beamerthemesplit,amsthm,amsmath}
\usepackage{
%amsmath,amssymb,graphicx,
tikz,
%amsthm,
dirtytalk,mathtools}
\usepackage{MnSymbol,blindtext,
%hyperref,geometry
}
%\geometry{papersize={12.8cm,10cm}}
%\PassOptionsToPackage{height=1cm}{beamerouterthemesidebar}
\begin{document}
\section{test}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{title}
content...
\end{frame}
\end{document}
```
*(I also commented out a couple of unnecessary packages which beamer already loads for you)*
