Ru is a simple, modern Beamer theme suitable for anyone to use. It tries to minimize noise and maximize space for content; the only visual flourish it offers is an (optional) progress bar added to each slide. .

Installation

Installing Ru from source, like any Beamer theme, involves four easy steps:

1. Download the source with a git clone of the Ru repository or as a zip archive of the latest development version.

2. Compile the style files by running make sty inside the downloaded directory. (Or run LaTeX directly on source/rutheme.ins.)

3. Move the resulting *.sty files to the folder containing your presentation. To use Ru with many presentations, run make install or move the *.sty files to a folder in your TeX path instead (might require sudo rights).

4. Use the theme for your presentation by declaring \usetheme{ru} in the preamble of your Beamer document.

Usage

The following code shows a minimal example of a Beamer presentation using Ru.

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{ru}           % Use ru theme
\title{A minimal example}
\date{\today}
\author{Benoit Viguier}
\institute{Radboud University}
\begin{document}
  \maketitle
  \section{First Section}
  \begin{frame}{First Frame}
    Hello, world!
  \end{frame}
\end{document}

Detailed information on using Ru can be found in the manual.
