Ru 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. .
Not convinced? Have a look at the demo slides.
Installing Ru from source, like any Beamer theme, involves four easy steps:
-
Download the source with a
git clone
of the Ru repository or as a zip archive of the latest development version. -
Compile the style files by running
make sty
inside the downloaded directory. (Or run LaTeX directly onsource/rutheme.ins
.) -
Move the resulting
*.sty
files to the folder containing your presentation. To use Ru with many presentations, runmake install
or move the*.sty
files to a folder in your TeX path instead (might requiresudo
rights). -
Use the theme for your presentation by declaring
\usetheme{ru}
in the preamble of your Beamer document.
The following code shows a minimal example of a Beamer presentation using Ru.
