Stork: a color theme for beamer

This color theme uses the colors suggested in Colors.pptx.

I do not give any guarantees that all colors defined by all themes are covered in this themes or that they work together harmoniously. I defined the major colors (structure, palette {primary,secondary,tertiary,quaternary}, sidebar, palette sidebar {primary,secondary,tertiary,quaternary}, alerted text) but there are many more specific ones and I only did some cursory checks against the default theme, one theme with a footer (Boadilla), one theme with a sidebar (Bergen), and one theme with a sidebar talk outline (Berkeley).

How to use it

Add the file beamercolorthemestork.sty to the directory of your beamer presentation or to the directory where your other beamer themes live.

Add \usecolortheme{stork} to your preamble to activate it.

Where in the preamble should I load the color theme?

In beamer, changes to themes are cumulative. This means that themes that are loaded later in the preamble add to or override themes loaded earlier. If you would like to change a specific element of your presentation to a specific color, you can load another color theme in which that that color is defined first and load the stork color theme afterwards. Or you can define the color and the element in the sty file. Look through some of the color themes that come with beamer to get an idea of which elements can be changed.

Why stork?

Till Landau named his color themes after flying animals. I wanted to follow his example. The symbol of the Max Planck Society is the owl, but I was trying to find something more specific to our institute. My first idea was "seagull" but sadly that was already taken. Then I thought about demography's themes mortality, fertility, and migration. Mortality seemed a bit morbid as an inspiration and everyone knows that babies are delivered by storks, so stork. Also, there is the Rostocker Pfeilstorch which adds another link to Rostock and to migration too.

What about the logo?

\logo{\includegraphics[<options>]{<path_to_the_logo_file>}}

See section 8.2.5 of the beamer user guide (p. 72).

The outer theme defines where the logo goes. If the logo does not show up, use a different (outer) theme.
