Hi👋 Here are some beamer templates which are secondary creations of SINTEF Presentation template. Thanks Federico Zenith for creating such well-designed works. To use it in my and my friends' schools/institutes, I rewrote and added some icons and features to adapt to specific surroundings✨.

Options & usage

Switch college/institute

Switching between different college/institute is quite easy, just add college/institute name (all lower case) to the collegeBeamer package. For example, to switch to the PolyU theme, add polyu to the package:

\usepackage[polyu,en]{collegeBeamer}

Switch language

To switch the language, just change the language option in the collegeBeamer package. For example, to switch to the Chinese language, add zh to the package:

\usepackage[szu,zh]{collegeBeamer}

When select zh, please add the xeCJKpackage to the preamble and use XeLaTeX as the typesetting engine.

\usepackage{xeCJK}

Add your own college?

Would like to make your own theme on top of these themes? It's quite easy, only a few steps are needed:

Step 1: Get the files

To get the files, you can fork & clone the repository to your computer.

Alternatively, you can open the templates' Overleaf webpages and click Open as Template.

Step 2: Place logos and background

Create a subfolder under src/ named as your college. Place color-logo.png (logo image with background color), trans-logo.png (logo image with transparent background), and background.png (background image on the cover page) into it.

Step 3: Add college/institute option

Starting from the 37-th line of collegebeamer.sty, all college/institute options are defined. Add your college/institute name in the same format, e.g.:

\DeclareOption{polyu}{
  \renewcommand{\maincolorRGB}{128, 57, 61}  % the theme's main color in RGB
  \renewcommand{\colorlogoPath}{src/PolyU/color-logo.png}  % path to the logo image with background color
  \renewcommand{\translogoPath}{src/PolyU/trans-logo.png}  % path to the logo image with transparent background
  \renewcommand{\backgroundPath}{src/PolyU/background.png}  % path to the background image
}

Noted that the theme's main color will be used in the front-ground of titles and background colors of the sectional page.

P.S. You may also choose to use a logo with white background for \translogoPath. Please refer to issue #8 for considerations.

Now you have your brand new template 👏🎉
