This is resume modified from Awesome-CV

How does result looked like?

• Check \pdf for more detail.

page 1	page 2	page 3

Environment

• Sharelatex Docker Image
  • All available packages should be installed. (check Quick Start Guide)
  • Create empty project and upload all contents under Resume\ where structure should be retained as Figure 1 shows.
  • Compiler should be change to LuaLatex otherwise Compile Error will be raised.

How does this repository customize Awesome-CV

1. Personal information

In original Awesome-CV, extra personal information in third line such as gituhb homepage, phone, email are presented as Figure 2 shows.

Figure 2 : Example of github link

In main.tex, for instance, github homepage should be filled in \github command. Commands of different personal information are defined in awesome-cv.cls, such as github:

\href{https://github.com/\@github}{\faGithubSquare\acvHeaderIconSep\@github}

In this work, personal information are modified to the form as Figure 3 shows. Instead of showing only github ID on resume, showing complete link is preferred in this work. Section 1.1 and 1.2 explain how to do that.

Figure 3 : Example of modified github link

1.1 Text and Hyperlink

In awesome-cv.cls, the code:

\href{https://github.com/\@github}{\faGithubSquare\acvHeaderIconSep\@github}

has 2 different purposes. Command \href{}{} is used to add text with hyperlink. First argument is hyperlink (https://github.com/\@github) and second argument is text (\faGithubSquare\acvHeaderIconSep\@github), where \@github is the github ID passed to \github{} command in main.tex. Directly pass complete link to \github{} will cause the hyperlink of text to become form below:

https://github.com/https://github.com/HallBlazzar

What this work expects is :

https://github.com/HallBlazzar

As result, first argument should be changed to \@github and updated command will be:

\href{@github}{\faGithubSquare\acvHeaderIconSep\@github}

1.2 Icon

1.2.1 Modify Icon

As 1.1 introduced, In awesome-cv.cls, the second argument of \href{}{} is text to present in pdf file which form is as follows:

[icon] [information]

As example (\faGithub\acvHeaderIconSep\@github) shows, [icon] is controlled by first command (\faGithubSquare), second command separates [icon] and [information](\acvHeaderIconSep), and third command is text to present, also the argument passed to \github in main.tex. As result, if need to use another icon for information, just directly change the first command of second argument of \href{}{}.In this work, some icons are modified such as \faGithubSquare is changed to \faGithub.

Note that icons which commands refer to are defined in fontawesome.sty. For example, \faGithubSquare is the icon of github, which definition in fontawesom.sty is:

\expandafter\def\csname faicon@git-square\endcsname {\symbol{"F1D2}} \def\faGitSquare {{\FA\csname faicon@git-square\endcsname}}

\symbol define which icon this command represents, and icon itself is selected from original FontAwesome.ttf based on its unicode(F1D2).

1.2.2 Update Icon Set

Icons from Awesome-CV is based on Font-Awesome 4, however, some icons are different from Font-Awesome 5 which will conflict to expected result. This section describes how to update icon to newer version.

1.2.2.1 Merge Icons

Instead of providing single .tff file for importing, .ttf files provided by Font-Awesome 5 split all available fonts to different categories and cause include problem for Awesome-CV. If you still want to use icons from Font-Awesome5, you can follow steps below to merge .ttf files:

1. install FontForge
2. open one of target fonts first by fontforge
3. Element -> Merge Font to merge another font
4. File -> Generate Font to generate fonts

FontDrop can help you conveniently check content of .ttf file instead of opening FontForge each time.

1.2.2.2 Update Icon Set

Under Sharelatex environment, original Awesome-CV will read icons form installed fontawesome package, which will cause customized Font-Awesome font unavailable. To solve the problem, the code below in fontawesom.sty are commented from original Awesome-CV:

%\newfontfamily{\FA}{FontAwesome}

It will force latex use fontfamily \FA defined in awesome-cv.cls, which read Font-Awesome from \fonts\FontAwesome.ttf instead of the one installed in system. The font generated in 1. Merge Icons can be renamed as FontAwesome.ttf and used to replace original \font\FontAwesome.ttf, which updates original FontAwesome.ttf.

2. Color

2.1 Global Highlighting Color

awesome is the color for highlighting position, sections, and location, which defined in awesome-cv.cls:

\colorlet{awesome}{awesome-red}

awesome-red is color pre-defined in Awesome-CV. There are also many colors pre-defined in Awesome-CV such as awesome-orange, awesome-nephrities, etc. Check awesome-cv.cls for more information. Awesome-CV also allow specifying awesome in main.tex, which is also by \colorlet{}{} command. In this work, awesome is set to awesome-orange.

2.2 Section color

Original section color defined in Awesome-CV is as Figure 4 shows. First 3 characters of each section will be highlighted by different color. However, this work prefers letting each characters uniformly coloured. Name of each section is controlled by \cvsection which defined in awesome-cv.cls:

\newcommand{\cvsection}[1]{%
  \vspace{\acvSectionTopSkip}
  \sectionstyle{#1}
  \phantomsection
  \color{gray}\vhrulefill{0.9pt}
}

Figure 4 : Original facade of Awesome-CV

The facade of each \cvsection is controlled by \sectionstyle{} command which argument is text of section. \sectionstyle is also defined in awesome-cv.cls, which originally defined as follows in Awesome-CV:

\newcommand*{\sectionstyle}[1]{{\fontsize{16pt}{1em}\bodyfont\bfseries\color{text}\@sectioncolor #1}}

\color{text} colours all texts to black and \@sectioncolor colours first 3 characters. To make facade of section text as Figure 5 shows, the code is modified as below to uniformly colour all texts of sections:

\newcommand*{\sectionstyle}[1]{{\fontsize{16pt}{1em}\bodyfont\bfseries\color{awesome} #1}}
