## 🎨 Customization
### 🔄 Update Metadata
Edit [`main.tex`](main.tex) to update the presentation’s metadata:
```tex
\newcommand{\paperTitle}{Full Presentation Title}
\newcommand{\paperAuthors}{Your Name}
\newcommand{\paperAuthorsAffiliation}{Your Institution}
\newcommand{\paperPublishedYear}{Year}
\newcommand{\paperConference}{Event or Conference}
\newcommand{\presentor}{Your Name}
\newcommand{\presentationDate}{Month Year}
\title[Short Title]{\paperTitle}
\author{\presentor}
\institute{\paperAuthorsAffiliation}
\date[\presentationDate]{\paperConference, \paperPublishedYear}
```
### 🏷️ Customize the Title Page
- **Background Image**
In [`titlepage.tex`](./slides/titlepage.tex), you can modify the background image:
```tex
\setbeamertemplate{title page}{
\begin{picture}(0,0)
\put(-\textmargin, \dimexpr -\paperheight*6/10 \relax){
\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{assets/presentation-theme/title-slide-background.png}
}
% Adjust positioning and size of the title text or add custom elements here
\end{picture}
}
```
- **Title Page Content**
Update the content in [`titlepage.tex`](./slides/titlepage.tex):
```tex
\setbeamertemplate{title page}{
\begin{picture}(0,0)
% Code for background image
\put(-\textmargin + 7mm, -75pt){
\begin{minipage}[b][4.5cm][t]{0.8\textwidth}
\raggedright
\color{white}
\usebeamerfont{title}{\paperTitle}\\[0.4cm]
\usebeamerfont{subtitle}{\paperAuthors}\\[0.2cm]
\usebeamerfont{institute}{\paperConference, \paperPublishedYear}\\[2.5cm]
\usebeamerfont{subtitle}{\sc\presentor}\\[0.2cm]
\usebeamerfont{date}\small{\presentationDate}
\end{minipage}
}
\end{picture}
}
```
### 🎨 Modify Theme Settings
- **General Configuration**
Within [`config/preamble.tex`](./config/preamble.tex), you’ll find settings for packages, colors, figures, tables, and hyperlinks.
```tex
\usepackage[
backend=biber,
style=ieee, % Citation style (e.g., ieee, apa, mla)
]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{references.bib} % Bibliography file
```
```tex
\definecolor{myBlue}{RGB}{0,33,71}
```
- **Slide Templates**
Inside [`config/frame-settings.tex`](./config/frame-settings.tex), you can define how each slide’s title and footer appear:
```tex
\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}{
% Code for slide title
}
```
```tex
\setbeamertemplate{footline}{
% Code for slide footer
\hfill
{\usebeamercolor[fg]{presentor in head/foot}\usebeamerfont{presentor in head/foot}\presentor}
\hfill
{\usebeamercolor[fg]{date in head/foot}\usebeamerfont{date in head/foot}\presentationDate}
\hfill
{\usebeamercolor[fg]{page number in head/foot}\usebeamerfont{page number in head/foot}\usebeamertemplate{page number in head/foot}}
\hfill
% Code for slide footer
}
```
- **Custom Commands**
[`config/commands.tex`](./config/commands.tex) holds additional commands you can utilize:
```tex
\newcommand{\newSection}[1]{
% Code for adding a new page when a new section starts
\section{#1}
}
```
### 📄 Add Slides
To add new slides, you have two options:
1. **Directly in `main.tex`**:
Create new slides directly in the `main.tex` file:
```tex
\begin{frame}{Slide Title}
% Your slide content here
\end{frame}
```
2. **Using separate files in the `slides/` directory**:
Create new slide files in the `slides/` directory and include them in `main.tex`:
```tex
\input{slides/your-slide.tex}
```
For example, to add a new slide section, create a file named `your-slide.tex` in the `slides/` directory with the following content:
```tex
\begin{frame}{Your Slide Title}
% Your slide content here
\end{frame}
```
Then, include this file in `main.tex`:
```tex
\include{slides/your-slide}
```
### 🖼️ Add Figures
Place your images in the [`assets/figures`](./assets/figures) directory and reference them in your slides:
```tex
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{assets/figures/your-image.png}
\caption{Your image caption}
\label{fig:Your Image Label}
\end{figure}
```
### 📚 Manage References
Add references to [`references.bib`](./references.bib) and cite them in your slides:
```tex
\cite{your-reference}
```
They will appear in your bibliography slide automatically.
