beamerlatex
I don't want to use Beamer's standard blue colour theme. I want to use beaver, which is deep reds. Everything looks nice, except that if I use itemize the bullet points are still blue. Is there a nice way to have the bullets vary with what colour theme I was using? (If I were to opt for a yellowish colour theme, I'd expect the bullets to go yellow too.)
If there isn't, what is the brute force way to change the bullet points red? Or at the very least, make them go back to black again.
It seems to me that what you really want, is to customize the look of the captions. This is most easily done using the caption package. For instructions how to use this package, see the manual (PDF). You would probably need to create your own custom caption format, as described in chapter 4 in the manual.
Edit: Tested with MikTex:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionFont{white}{\color{white}}
\DeclareCaptionFormat{listing}{\colorbox{gray}{\parbox{\textwidth}{#1#2#3}}}
\captionsetup[lstlisting]{format=listing,labelfont=white,textfont=white}
% This concludes the preamble
\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}[label=some-code,caption=Some Code]
public void here() {
goes().the().code()
}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}
Result:
Use p{width} for your column specifiers instead of l/r/c.
\begin{tabular}{|p{1cm}|p{3cm}|}
This text will be wrapped & Some more text \\
\end{tabular}
EDIT: (based on the comments)
\begin{table}[ht]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{p{0.35\linewidth} | p{0.6\linewidth}}
Column 1 & Column2 \\ \hline
This text will be wrapped & Some more text \\
Some text here & This text maybe wrapped here if its tooooo long \\
\end{tabular}
\caption{Caption}
\label{tab:my_label}
\end{table}
