A modern LaTeX Beamer theme

Lantian theme

---

Forked from the Metropolis repository. This is my own lightly customized version of the Metropolis beamer theme so I can keep the Metropolis theme installed alongside my customizations. It is bloated with custom math and tikz commands so not recommended for quick, lightweight presentations.

Installation

Installing lantian from source, like any Beamer theme, involves four easy steps:

1. Download the source with a git clone of the Lantian repository or as a zip archive of the latest development version.

2. Compile the style files by running make sty inside the downloaded directory. (Or run LaTeX directly on source/lantiantheme.ins.)

3. Move the resulting *.sty files to the folder containing your presentation. To use Metropolis with many presentations, run make install or move the *.sty files to a folder in your TeX path instead (might require sudo rights).

4. Use the theme for your presentation by declaring \usetheme{lantian} in the preamble of your Beamer document.

5. On Arch linux, to install in shared tex libraries run # sudo bash install # mktexlsr

Usage

The following code shows a minimal example of a Beamer presentation using Lantian.

\documentclass{beamer}
