The stork color theme is a beamer color theme based on the corporate design of
the MPIDR (see the 2021 Powerpoint template). Using this color theme allows you
to pick your preferred beamer (outer) theme (i.e. the general layout of your
slides) and have titles, sidebars, list items etc. use MPIDR colors.
Add the file beamercolorthemestork.sty to the directory of your beamer
presentation or to the directory where your other beamer themes live.
Add \usecolortheme{stork} to your preamble to activate it.
In beamer, changes to themes are cumulative. This means that themes that are
loaded later in the preamble add to or override themes loaded earlier. If you
would like to change a specific element of your presentation to a specific
color, you can load another color theme in which that that color is defined
first and load the stork color theme afterwards. Or you can define the color
and the element in the sty file. Look through some of the color themes that
come with beamer to get an idea of which elements can be changed.
This color theme uses the colors from the Powerpoint template (2021).
We do not give any guarantees that all colors defined by all themes are covered
in this themes or that they work together harmoniously. We defined the major
colors (structure, palette {primary,secondary,tertiary,quaternary},
sidebar, palette sidebar {primary,secondary,tertiary,quaternary}, alerted text) but there are many more specific ones and we only did some cursory checks
against the default theme, one theme with a footer (Boadilla), one theme with a
sidebar (Bergen), and one theme with a sidebar talk outline (Berkeley).
Till Landau named his color themes after flying animals. We follow his example. The symbol of the Max Planck Society is the owl, but we wanted something more specific to our institute. Our first idea was "seagull" but sadly that was already taken. Then we thought about demography's themes: mortality, fertility, and migration. Mortality seemed a bit morbid. Everyone knows that babies are delivered by storks. Job done. There is also the Rostocker Pfeilstorch which provides a nice link between fertility, migration, and Rostock.
If you're lucky, adding this line to the preamble adds a logo:
\logo{\includegraphics[<options>]{<path_to_the_logo_file>}}
Not all themes define a place for the logo. The logo placement is defined in the outer theme. If the logo does not show up, use a different (outer) theme.
