More or less what it says on the tin: I want something like:

\frame{\somecounterforpagenumbers : My Title}

I assume there is a built in counter that I can reference here, but I'm not sure what it is.

You are looking for the command \insertframenumber, the corresponding counter is called framenumber:


% manually increase the frame number
% display frame number in the frame title
\begin{frame}{\insertframenumber{}: First frame, or is it?}
Some text here\dots

Yep, that seems to be it. Might be worth updating to incorporate Corentin's comment, since the counter itself is called framenumber, in case one wants to manipulate its state. Thanks! –  John Doucette Oct 24 '12 at 7:44
