The beamer theme I use for my presentations. The main design goal was to have a dark background to work on low-light environments (i.e. presentations with dimmed or turned-off lights) with no unnecessary and distracting elements on each slide. That’s why the date, name of the author, and name of the talk are only on the title slide.
You can download a sample presentation here.
- xelatex, lualatex or some other LaTeX compiler that can use other fonts than the default ones. Tectonic also works (and is used in CI).
To use this theme you can either put the .sty files or clone this repository
to $TEXMFHOME/tex/latex/beamer/. Then you can use the theme with
\usetheme{issdark}There is also the option for a light theme:
\usetheme[light]{issdark}The title page shows the contents of:
\title\subtitle\author\date\titlegraphic\twitter\github\mail
If no title graphic is specified the author name and date are centered instead of left aligned.
I also added some new macros for things I have to use a lot, like quotations or highlighting parts of the text.
\boxenquote{Quotation}{~---~Author}
Inserts a quote, surrounded by quotation marks, in a box. The first argument is the quote which gets surrounded by quotation marks. The second one can be an author or reference and gets inserted after the closing quotation mark.
\alert{foo}
Highlights a word by changing its color.
\contactinformation
Insert your contact information (Twitter, GitHub, and mail).
With \finalslide{foo} you can add a slide with the contact information and
without any header or footer.
