Unofficial University of Manchester Beamer Theme
================================================
Provides a (very nice looking) Beamer theme that matches the official
University of Manchester PowerPoint Style.
"University of Manchester" and associated logos are copyright of the
University of Manchester -- please see http://www.brand.manchester.ac.uk
Installation
------------
[*A beginner's introduction, and complete install guide may be found here*](http://amundy.co.uk/2014/01/11/new-introduction-to-beamer-theme.html)
To use the theme, ensure the following files are copied into somewhere like:
`~/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/themes` or `/usr/share/texmf/`...
- beamercolorthemeUniversityOfManchester.sty
- beamerfontthemeUniversityOfManchester.sty
- beamerinnerthemeUniversityOfManchester.sty
- beamerouterthemeUniversityOfManchester.sty
- beamerthemeUniversityOfManchester.sty
- TAB_allwhite.pdf
- TAB_col_white_background.pdf
Then run `texhash` as yourself.
### Font Installation ###
If you want to use the Cabin font (see below), you'll either need a recent TeXlive release, or will have to install it from CTAN:
- Cabin itself, http://www.ctan.org/pkg/cabin
- *AND* `ifluatex`, http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ifluatex
_Not for the faint hearted!_
Usage
-----
Once installed, you can use the theme as:
~~~latex
\documentclass[t]{beamer}
\usetheme[..options..]{UniversityOfManchester}
~~~
### Options
- `dark`
- `darktitle`
- `cabin` [Replaces the default font with Cabin, much nicer!]
- `framenumber`
- `totalframenumber` [Only works if `framenumber` is also set!]
- `titleframestart` Sets the number of the title frame (e.g., `titleframestart=1` (default is 0)
- `compress` [Reduces the logo padding by half, this is a Bad Thing™]
You can also use `plain` on a slide to hide the logo and gain some extra space.
The following colours are defined for your use:
- `uompurple`
- `uomyellow`
- `uomgrey`
### Environments ###
You can use the `darkframes` environment to make a enclosed frames look like the title slide (e.g. for use for presentations overviews, ask for questions, presenter information.)
It is recommended (i.e. you'll get an error otherwise) that you wrap any darkframes environments so that they
only appear in presentations.
~~~latex
\mode
\begin{darkframes}
% ...
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{A Dark Frame}
% ...
\end{frame}
% ...
\end{darkframes}
\mode
~~~
A Fun Note
----------
Older versions of Beamer require you to put
~~~latex
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{...title...}
% ...
\end{frame}
~~~
Instead of the (much nicer) `\begin{frame}{...title...}` - be aware of this!
