This is a reproduction of the UVT (West University of Timișoara) Power Point template in LaTeX. It uses the UVT branding and is based on the example given in the Official Manual. As the example in the official branding manual is not very friendly to scientific presentations, this theme will probably take some liberties with it.
This template style is fairly complete and working well, but any feature requests or bug reports to improve it are very welcome!
Copy the beamerthemeuvt.sty and the accompanying sty files to your local
directory together with any relevant assets from the assets folder. You can also
use the template.tex to get you started with a few useful options and examples.
Modify template.tex as appropriate and build with pdflatex (or xelatex or
lualatex for the adventurous).
The package defines the following options used as \usetheme[opts]{uvt}.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
nomyriadpro |
Do not load the Myriad Pro fonts |
language=<lang> |
One of english or romanian |
progressbar |
Adds a yellow progress bar in the footer |
layoutgrid |
Adds a debug grid to check alignment |
Note that, by default this uses the Myriad Pro
font. This font is generally not available for free, but can be purchased from
Adobe or a reseller. The
OTF fonts can be directly loaded by the XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX engines. To
get it working on PDFLaTeX, use the FontPro
distribution. If you cannot obtain the font (or the installation does not work
for some reason), it can be disabled with the nomyriadpro option. In general,
we recommend using a free sans serif font instead, e.g \usepackage{helvet} for
the Helvetica look-alike Nimbus Sans L or \usepackage{paratype} for the PT Sans
fonts that resemble Myriad Pro better.
If you are using XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, there are many other nice fonts to
keep in mind that would work well. For example: Carlito (a Calibri clone),
Caladea (a Cambria clone), Montserrat (inspired by Gotham), Adobe Source Sans,
etc. A nice font will always make your presentation look nicer!
