A light modern LaTeX Beamer theme for academics

  • style
    • lightxminimal flat style based on Szeged
  • color
    • whale with energetic text colors
  • font

tutorial title page, style gallery and its full demo slides

Installation

  • theme
    • (frequent, recommended) allocate both sty files into your Beamer theme texpath, or
    • (occasional) leave them aside with your main tex file
  • font
    • (xelatex, recommended) install Fira Sans typeface from Mozilla, or
    • (pdflatex) MiKTeX might install FiraSans, FiraMono and newtxsf packages on the fly
  • document
    • write your main tex file header as follows
    • replace either <options> with comma-separated light and/or minimal
    • recommend to enable both options for minimal visual noise
\documentclass[<options>]{beamer}
\usetheme[<options>]{tutorial}

Intention

  • originally designed for my weekly tutorial sessions --- hence default tutorial keeps
    • headline section navigation bar
    • footline presentation information
      in each non-title frame for students' reference in class
  • extended with lightxminimal options for less visual noise
    • light background for headline, footline and frametitle
    • minimal without headline or footline but frame number
  • traditional Beamer Blended Blue x white color theme in accordance with
    • current "mainstream" presentation preference in Academia
    • convenient inclusion of graphs and/or tables with white background
  • convenient to customize your own colors as follows for
    • main theme structure and general background
    • normal text, alerted text and example text
      where an asterisk * means to reset both fg and bg values
\setbeamercolor*{structure}{fg=<main color>, bg=<background>}
\setbeamercolor{<text style>}{fg=<text color>}

Limitation

  • headline section navigation bar always coexists with footline information
  • math and text font theme not carefully adjusted yet
  • fixed frame numbering style
    • frame number only for minimal
    • otherwise shown as a fraction
  • theme options cannot \PassOptionsToClass or \PassOptionsToPackage through command line
  • common Beamer compress option untuned
