Replicating the UVT Power Point template in LaTeX

UVT Beamer Theme

This is a reproduction of the UVT (West University of Timișoara) Power Point template in LaTeX. It uses the UVT branding and is based on the example given in the Official Manual. As the example in the official branding manual is not very friendly to scientific presentations, this theme will probably take some liberties with it.

This template style is fairly complete and working well, but any feature requests or bug reports to improve it are very welcome!

How to use it

Copy the beamerthemeuvt.sty and the accompanying sty files to your local directory together with any relevant assets from the assets folder. You can also use the template.tex to get you started with a few useful options and examples. Modify template.tex as appropriate and build with pdflatex (or xelatex or lualatex for the adventurous).

The package defines the following options used as \usetheme[opts]{uvt}.

Option Description
nomyriadpro Do not load the Myriad Pro fonts
language=<lang> One of english or romanian
progressbar Adds a yellow progress bar in the footer
layoutgrid Adds a debug grid to check alignment

Fonts

Note that, by default this uses the Myriad Pro font. This font is generally not available for free, but can be purchased from Adobe or a reseller. The OTF fonts can be directly loaded by the XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX engines. To get it working on PDFLaTeX, use the FontPro distribution. If you cannot obtain the font (or the installation does not work for some reason), it can be disabled with the nomyriadpro option. In general, we recommend using a free sans serif font instead, e.g \usepackage{helvet} for the Helvetica look-alike Nimbus Sans L or \usepackage{paratype} for the PT Sans fonts that resemble Myriad Pro better.

If you are using XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, there are many other nice fonts to keep in mind that would work well. For example: Carlito (a Calibri clone), Caladea (a Cambria clone), Montserrat (inspired by Gotham), Adobe Source Sans, etc. A nice font will always make your presentation look nicer!
