A presentation theme for LaTeX-Beamer that is truly
|
|||
|
|
minimalistic, so that the focus is on the presenter and
|
|||
|
|
not on the slides.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Requires the packages [fira](https://ctan.org/pkg/fira) and
|
|||
|
|
[silence](https://ctan.org/pkg/silence)
|
|||
|
|
to be installed on your system.
|
|||
|
|
To build the [beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.tex](beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.tex) file,
|
|||
|
|
[PGF/TikZ](https://ctan.org/pkg/pgf),
|
|||
|
|
[appendixnumberbeamer](https://ctan.org/pkg/appendixnumberbeamer),
|
|||
|
|
[fontaxes](https://ctan.org/pkg/fontaxes), and
|
|||
|
|
[mwe](https://ctan.org/pkg/mwe) are also required.

# Main goals
|
|||
|
|
- The theme produces no warnings
|
|||
|
|
- It should be looking *good* in a 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio, without the need to change anything.
|
|||
|
|
- Provides an environment for vertical-spaced items
|
|||
|
|
- Easy option to either use light- or dark-mode
|
|||
|
|
- Is designed to be purely minimalistic without any distractions
|
|||
|
|
- Easily use own logos
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

# Demo
|
|||
|
|
A sample document can be seen in the
|
|||
|
|
[beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.pdf](https://github.com/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/wiki/demo.pdf),
|
|||
|
|
produced from [beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.tex](beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.tex).
|
|||
|
|
The document shows all of the
|
|||
|
|
design decisions, as well as some packages and commands that
|
|||
|
|
work well for presentations. For example, starting the
|
|||
|
|
frame counter after the *Table of Contents* section does not
|
|||
|
|
include backup slides to the total frame counter.
|
|||
|
|
Please use [beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.tex](beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.tex)
|
|||
|
|
as a starting point, as exhaustive comments
|
|||
|
|
were added for a smooth start.
|
|||
|

|||

|

|
a short *inline teaser* version of the [beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.pdf](https://github.com/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/wiki/beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.pdf) can be seen.
|
|||
|

|
|
Please look at the [PDF](https://github.com/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/wiki/beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.pdf) version for high-resolution images. :)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I highly recommend [pympress](https://github.com/Cimbali/pympress) to add videos to the presentation.
|
|||
|
|
This presentation tool works perfectly with
|
|||
|
|
Beamer presentations and is available on all major OS!

# Comparison
|
|||
|
|
To show some differences between the default LaTeX beamer
|
|||
|
|
theme and the pure minimalistic beamer theme
|
|||
|
|
(inspired by the [auriga beamer theme](https://github.com/anishathalye/auriga)):
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Dark mode
|
|||
|
|
On the [left](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/compare_examples/comparison_dark.png)
|
|||
|
|
is the pure minimalistic theme in dark mode,
|
|||
|
|
and on the [right](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/compare_examples/comparison_dark.png) is the default beamer theme.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Light mode
|
|||
|
|
On the [left](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/compare_examples/comparison_light.png) is the pure minimalistic theme in light mode,
|
|||
|
|
and on the [right](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/compare_examples/comparison_light.png) is the default beamer theme.

# Download
|
|||
|
|
Download the latest release by going to the [release page](https://github.com/kai-tub/latex_beamer_pure_minimalistic/releases).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# Instructions
|
|||
|
|
After downloading, copy the files named
|
|||
|
|
beamer*pureminimalistic.sty into the same folder as your
|
|||
|
|
LaTeX source file. Then include the theme by writing:
|
|||
|
|
```latex
|
|||
|
|
\documentclass[aspectratio=169]{beamer}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\usetheme[]{pureminimalistic}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
# Customize
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
All options and commands are also described in detail in the
|
|||
|
|
[beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.pdf](https://github.com/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/wiki/beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.pdf).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Customize Logos
|
|||
|
|
By default, the theme expects the logos to be present in a
|
|||
|
|
folder `logos` relative to the `.sty` file with the names:
|
|||
|
|
`header_logo`, `header_logo_darkmode`,
|
|||
|
|
`institute_logo`, and `institute_logo_darkmode`.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
But you can easily change the logos used.
|
|||
|
|
There are 3 commands used to define which logos
|
|||
|
|
are used and how they are formatted:
|
|||
|
|
- `\logotitle` – Command used for title page. Here `\linewidth`
|
|||
|
|
corresponds to the entire paper width.
|
|||
|
|
- `\logoheader` – Command used for the header. Here `\linewidth`
|
|||
|
|
corresponds to a smaller box, as the horizontal space is
|
|||
|
|
shared with the title.
|
|||
|
|
- `\logofooter` – Command used for the footer. Here `\linewidth`
|
|||
|
|
corresponds to a smaller box, as the horizontal space is
|
|||
|
|
shared with the footer text.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To load your own logos for the title, header, and footer set them
|
|||
|
|
with:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```latex
|
|||
|
|
\renewcommand{\logotitle}{\includegraphics%
|
|||
|
|
[width=.2\linewidth]{alternative_logo/gameboy.png}}
|
|||
|
|
\renewcommand{\logoheader}{\includegraphics%
|
|||
|
|
[width=.5\linewidth]{alternative_logo/gameboy.png}}
|
|||
|
|
\renewcommand{\logofooter}{\includegraphics%
|
|||
|
|
[width=.15\linewidth]{alternative_logo/console.png}}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Color
|
|||
|
|
The theme includes two default color options.
|
|||
|
|
The default color theme is light.
|
|||
|
|
The alternative color theme is the dark color theme, enabled with:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```latex
|
|||
|
|
\usetheme[darkmode]{pureminimalistic}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The themes color commands can be redefined to
|
|||
|
|
customize the appearance.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Please set these *after* loading the theme
|
|||
|
|
and *before* `\begin{document}` for the changes to take effect.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The following theme color commands exist:
|
|||
|
|
- `\beamertextcolor`
|
|||
|
|
- `\beamerbgcolor`
|
|||
|
|
- `\beamerfootertextcolor`
|
|||
|
|
- `\beamertitlecolor`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To redefine the background, for example, the following commands
|
|||
|
|
could be used:
|
|||
|
|
```latex
|
|||
|
|
\usetheme{pureminimalistic}
|
|||
|
|
\definecolor{textcolor}{RGB}{0, 0, 120}
|
|||
|
|
\definecolor{title}{RGB}{0, 0, 0}
|
|||
|
|
\definecolor{footercolor}{RGB}{133, 133, 133}
|
|||
|
|
\definecolor{bg}{RGB}{25, 116, 210}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\renewcommand{\beamertextcolor}{textcolor}
|
|||
|
|
\renewcommand{\beamerbgcolor}{bg}
|
|||
|
|
\renewcommand{\beamerfootertextcolor}{footercolor}
|
|||
|
|
\renewcommand{\beamertitlecolor}{title}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Fonts
|
|||
|
|
The default fonts are the [Fira Fonts](https://bboxtype.com/typefaces/FiraSans/#!layout=specimen).
|
|||
|
|
This decision was inspired by another awesome beamer theme,
|
|||
|
|
the [Focus beamer theme](https://github.com/elauksap/focus-beamertheme).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some dislike the Fira Fonts. As an alternative, this
|
|||
|
|
theme also integrates the *Helvetica* fonts.
|
|||
|
|
The Helvetica fonts are a classical font choice for presentations.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To use the Helvetica fonts:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```latex
|
|||
|
|
\usetheme[helvetica, darkmode]{pureminimalistic}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you prefer the default fonts, disable the Fira Fonts with:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```latex
|
|||
|
|
\usetheme[nofirafonts, darkmode]{pureminimalistic}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Footer options
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Show max slide numbers**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To show the maximum number of slides, enable the
|
|||
|
|
`showmaxslides` option:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```latex
|
|||
|
|
\usetheme[showmaxslides, darkmode]{pureminimalistic}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Disable footer**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To disable the footer altogether, including the institute image,
|
|||
|
|
set the `nofooter` option:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```latex
|
|||
|
|
\usetheme[nofooter, darkmode]{pureminimalistic}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
