README
## Metropolis
**IMPORTANT NOTICES FOR VERSION 1.0**
* The package and theme name changed from *m* to *metropolis*!
* The `title format` values have been restructured. Please refer to the
[manual][].---
Metropolis is a simple, modern Beamer theme suitable for anyone to use. It tries
to minimize noise and maximize space for content; the only visual flourish it
offers is an (optional) progress bar added to each slide. The core design
principles of the theme were described in a blog post
[here](http://bloerg.net/2014/09/20/a-modern-beamer-theme.html).Not convinced? Have a look at the [demo slides][].

## Installation
To install a stable version of this theme, please refer to update instructions
of your TeX distribution. Metropolis is on [CTAN][] since December
2014 thus it is part of MikTeX and will be part of TeX Live 2016.Installing Metropolis from source, like any Beamer theme, involves four easy
steps:1. **Download the source** with a `git clone` of the [Metropolis repository](https://github.com/matze/mtheme)
or as a [zip archive](https://github.com/matze/mtheme/archive/master.zip) of
the latest development version.
2. **Compile the style files** by running `make sty` inside the downloaded
directory. (Or run LaTeX directly on `source/metropolistheme.ins`.)
3. **Move the resulting `*.sty` files** to the folder containing your
presentation. To use Metropolis with many presentations, run `make install`
or move the `*.sty` files to a folder in your TeX path instead (might require
`sudo` rights).
4. **Use the theme for your presentation** by declaring `\usetheme{metropolis}` in
the preamble of your Beamer document.
5. **For best results** install Mozilla's [Fira Sans](https://github.com/bBoxType/FiraSans).## Usage
The following code shows a minimal example of a Beamer presentation using
Metropolis.```latex
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{metropolis} % Use metropolis theme
