Instructions
After downloading, copy the files named beamer*themefocus.sty into the same folder as your LaTeX source file.
Then include the theme by writing:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{focus}
in the preamble of your document.
Customize colors
Focus is based on two colors, namely main
and background
, that can be customized after including the theme.
For example:
\usetheme{focus}
\definecolor{main}{RGB}{92, 138, 168}
\definecolor{background}{RGB}{240, 247, 255}
produces the following ice-blue color theme.
Customize the footline
The footline numbering can be customized through the theme option numbering. The standard value is:
\usetheme[numbering=progressbar]{focus}
that shows an progress bar of increasing length on the footline.
Alternatively, a full footline bar with the frame numbering can be shown with:
\usetheme[numbering=fullbar]{focus}
The minimal
style just prints the frame numbering without any footline background:
\usetheme[numbering=minimal]{focus}
In the fullbar
and minimal
cases, an optional text to be printed on the left side of the footline
can be customized with:
\footlineinfo{Custom footline text}
For all footline styles the total frame number (shown by default) can be suppressed with:
\usetheme[totalframenumbering=no]{focus}
The footline may also be disabled globally by typing:
\usetheme[numbering=none]{focus}
Customize fonts
Focus is using the Fira fonts by default.
This can be changed by using the option nofirafonts:
\usetheme[nofirafonts]{focus}
Warning: if XeTeX returns an error about the font not being found, please follow the instructions at the TeX Live Guide, section 3.4.4.
