How to show progression bar with toc at the bottom of slides in beamer class in latex?

Question

I am using beamer class with Boadilla theme. At the bottom there is a bar that contains author name, title and date. Above this bar, I need to show another bar that horizontally contains the table of contents with a highlight on the current section exactly as the vertical one that is shown on the right in Goettingen theme. How can I do it?

Answer 1

\documentclass{beamer}

\usetheme{Boadilla}

\addtobeamertemplate{footline}{%
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{author in head/foot}%
     \insertsectionnavigationhorizontal{\paperwidth}{}{}
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%

}

\begin{document}

\section{Duck}
\begin{frame}
    abc
\end{frame} 

\section{Bear}
\begin{frame}
    abc
\end{frame} 

\section{Marmot}
