Spinaceto is the new work-in-progress beamer theme that I am using for my slides and presentations.
It is an evolution from my previous beamer theme, Enziteto.
As Enziteto, Spinaceto is designed to provide a minimalistic theme in which the information hierarchy is rendered mainly through typographic features. Differently from Enziteto, important information pieces in the hierarchy are highlighted by color (boxes).
In order to use spinaceto for your beamer presentations, you will need:
- Open Sans as a decent open source sans serif font
- XeLaTeX to compile LaTeX sources with custom fonts
Run make install and then make reload (this last command may need
admin privileges) to copy the .sty files to your tex-mf dir.
To compile the examples of this repo into pdfs, cd into the examples dir and run make.
More examples of my slides using spinaceto can be found here here and here.
Traditionally, beamer themes are named after cities.
Enziteto is the name of a small town with a bad reputation in the municipality of Bari, my hometown.
Spinaceto is another small town in the municipality of Rome, being known for the same bad reasons.
