Beamer mtheme
The mtheme is a Beamer theme with minimal visual. The core design principles of the theme were described in a blog post. Not convinced? Have a look at the demo slides.
Requirements
As of now, fonts, colors and the section indicator are hardcoded into the theme.
Thus to compile the demo with make
you must
- use XeLaTeX,
- install the Fira Sans font,
- have a usable TikZ installation, and
- install the Python package Pygments (
pip install pygments
).
Depending on the Linux distribution, the packaged name of Fira Sans might be
Fira Sans OT
instead of Fira Sans
. In that case, you may have to edit
beamerfontthememetropolis.sty
.
Installing and compiling
To install the theme either run make install
or copy the style files ending
with .sty
to the source files of your presentation.
To use this theme with Pandoc, you can run the following command
$ pandoc -t beamer --latex-engine=xelatex -V theme:m -o output.pdf input.md
Customization
Package options
The titleprogressbar
option adds a thin progress bar similar to the section
progress bar underneath each frame title
Commands
The \plain{title=[]}{body}
command sets a slide in plain dark colors which can
be useful to focus attentation on a single image.
pgfplot styles
The beamer theme also contains pre-defined pgfplot styles. Use the mlineplot
key to plot line data and mbarplot
or horizontal mbarplot
to plot bar
charts.
