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.

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. [Here](https://github.com/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/wiki/beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.png) 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. ![beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.png](https://github.com/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/wiki/beamertheme-pure-minimalistic-demo.png) 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. ![comparison-dark](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/compare_examples/comparison_dark.png) ## 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. ![comparison-light](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/compare_examples/comparison_light.png) # 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}} ``` ![alternative-title-logo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/minimal_examples/alternative_title_logo.png) ![alternative-header-footer-logo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/minimal_examples/alternative_header_footer_logo.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} ``` ![custom-color](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/minimal_examples/custom_color.png) ## 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). ![fira-fonts](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/minimal_examples/fira_font.png) Some dislike the Fira Fonts. As an alternative, this theme also integrates the *Noto* fonts. To use the Noto fonts: ```latex \usetheme[noto, darkmode]{pureminimalistic} ``` ![noto-fonts](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/minimal_examples/noto_font.png) If you prefer the default fonts _or_ load your own fonts, disable the Fira Fonts with: ```latex \usetheme[customfont, darkmode]{pureminimalistic} ``` ![default-fonts](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/minimal_examples/default_font.png) ## Footer options **Show max slide numbers** To show the maximum number of slides, enable the `showmaxslides` option: ```latex \usetheme[showmaxslides, darkmode]{pureminimalistic} ``` ![show-max-slides](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/minimal_examples/show_max_slides.png) **Disable footer** To disable the footer altogether, including the institute image, set the `nofooter` option: ```latex \usetheme[nofooter, darkmode]{pureminimalistic} ``` ![no-footer](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/minimal_examples/no_footer.png) **Replace footer logo with page count** To remove the footer logo and instead move the page description to that position use the `nofooterlogo` option: ```latex \usetheme[nofooterlogo, darkmode]{pureminimalistic} ``` ![no-footer-logo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/minimal_examples/no_footer_logo.png) **Customize word for Page in footer** To change the word _Page_ in the footer, define a different word with: ```latex \renewcommand{\pageword}{Seite} ``` ![custom-page-word](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/minimal_examples/custom_page_word.png) # Release status The next steps and thoughts about the upcoming release with possible features can be seen on the [project page](https://github.com/kai-tub/latex-beamer-pure-minimalistic/projects/1). # License This software is released under the GNU GPL v3.0 [License](LICENSE). # Contributing Please see the [contribution guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md) for more information.
