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.
To install the theme either run make install or copy the style files ending
with .sty to the source files of your presentation. As of now, fonts, colors
and the section indicator are hardcoded into the theme. For the demo you need
- XeLaTeX,
- the Fira Sans font,
- TikZ and
- the Python package Pygments that you can get with
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.
To build the demo slides just run make in the top-level directory. To use this
theme with Pandoc-based presentations, you
can run the following command
$ pandoc -t beamer --latex-engine=xelatex -V theme:m -o output.pdf input.md
The titleprogressbar option adds a thin progress bar similar to the section
progress bar underneath each frame title
The \plain{title=[]}{body} command sets a slide in plain dark colors which can
be useful to focus attentation on a single image.
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.
