# Dalhousie-Beamer-Theme
My Dalhousie University-themed slide template for the LaTeX Beamer class.
Previously, this was a part of [`slides-posters`](https://github.com/KyleBryenton/slides-posters). I decided to create a separate repository after noticing interest from others. The `.tex` file has been updated to include interesting showcases and useful examples.
## Table of Contents

4. [License](#license)
## Introduction
My hope is two-fold:
1. The showcases here will be interesting for experienced LaTeX users.
2. The examples will be pedagogically useful for newer LaTeX users and will help kick-start their first few presentations.
Also included is my personal colour-blind friendly swatches I use for my graphics. See: [`ColourBlindSwatches.txt`](https://github.com/KyleBryenton/Dalhousie-Beamer-Theme/blob/main/ColourBlindSwatches.txt)
_I intend to clean up my Dalhousie Poster Template and add it here at a later date. If interested, please contact me for a pre-release version._
## Usage
To use these templates, follow these steps:
### Using Overleaf
Overleaf is an online LaTeX editor that allows you to compile LaTeX documents in your browser.
1. Go to [`Dalhousie-Beamer-Theme`](https://github.com/KyleBryenton/Dalhousie-Beamer-Theme).
2. Click the green `<> Code` button, and then `Download ZIP`.
3. Sign-in to [Overleaf](https://www.overleaf.com/project)
4. Click `New Project`, then `Upload Project`, and select `Dalhousie-Beamer-Theme-main.zip` from your Downloads folder.
5. Click `DalBeamerTheme_Showcase.tex`, then compile.
### Using a Local LaTeX Editor
Instead of Overleaf (or if you need extended compile times) you may use a local editor. My personal preference has always been for [TeXMaker](https://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/download.html).
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/KyleBryenton/Dalhousie-Beamer-Theme.git
```
2. Ensure `beamerthemeDal_16x9.sty`, `beamercolorthemeDal.sty`, and `Dal_Background_16x9.pdf` are in the same directory as your `.tex` file.
3. Open the `DalBeamerTheme_Showcase.tex` file with your preferred LaTeX editor.
4. Compile with `pdflatex`.
## Contributing
I welcome anybody to contribute, share, or modify this template or the `.sty` files to suit their needs. Please follow these steps to contribute:
1. Fork the repository.
2. Create a new branch (`git checkout -b feature-branch`).
3. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Add new feature'`).
4. Push to the branch (`git push origin feature-branch`).
5. Create a new Pull Request.
