Features:Option for dark or light background.Option for large slide number / total slides on bottom barOption for watermark on top of a gradient backgroundOnly works for PDFLaTeX/XeLaTeX! (Default on OS X)... work in progress!.2012 updates...The new package is streamlined for nicer code. Also usesfontspec for XeLaTeX support. You can now abuse fonts.Flip Tanedo pt267@cornell.edu Flips Beamer Theme 2/25...2/25.Block PartyDifferent kinds of blocks.Block...Normal block. Colorless, neutral..Example Block...Example block.

This makes iteasier to swap between light/dark backgrounds by just modifying one optionand recompiling.The comment styles are automatically footnote-sized.Flip Tanedo pt267@cornell.edu Flips Beamer Theme 5/25...5/25.Absolute placementThis slide demonstratesabsolute placement of images using the put command in thepicture environment.Note the overlap.

The default color follows the normal text, so it automatically changescolor when you swap from a light to a dark background.. . .This makes it easy to copy and paste TikZ code from your paper!You can also import diagrams as images.

Fortunately, PGF respects png transparencyso watermark images can be saved as png images. Alternately, ifyou have a nice vector representation in TikZ, you can use theopacity option to make it semi-opaque.The second problem with watermarks is that even once youhave a transparent image, how do you stick it behind the maintext of each slide? This is surprisingly subtle. The solution is toput all watermarks the sidebar right region controlled by theouter theme style. Anything placed here will remain behind themain text of the screen.At the moment this is not implemented in this theme.Flip Tanedo pt267@cornell.edu Flips Beamer Theme 16/25...16/25.Aesthetic use of arrows and nodesThe WIMP Miracle..

For now I suggest not using footnotes. Theyre ofquestionable use in a talk, anyway.Even though comment text is footnote-sized, it still has normaltext line spacing. The setspace environment can x this, butit forces a newline and it seems to make footnotes disappear.Make color theme more uniform and based on palette colors.Flip Tanedo pt267@cornell.edu Flips Beamer Theme 23/25...23/25.Problems and KludgesXeLaTeX,LuaLaTeXXeLaTeX doesnt allow one to usesetbeamertemplate[backgroundcanvas] multiple times (e.g.to have one slide with a different background). A x is to include\def\pgfsysdriver{pgfsys-dvipdfmx.def} before thedocumentclass, but this ends up breaking the arrows pointing tonodes.In principle, LuaLaTeX can solve this, but that also requires somework since it only looks at Open Type Fonts (e.g. Gill Sans is notavailable by default).http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/29497/xelatex-preventing-beamer-from-using-different-backgroundsFlip Tanedo pt267@cornell.edu Flips Beamer Theme 24/25...24/25.AcknowledgementsI have borrowed heavily (and learned much) from MarcoBarisiones Torino theme, which can be found one his blog.
