Seville LaTeX beamer theme

Do you like this? Have a look at the PDF and the LaTeX code.

How to use

Copy beamerthemeseville.sty to your beamer presentation's folder, add

\usetheme{seville}

to the preamble.

If you're going to use it often, you can place beamerthemeseville.sty somewhere in your TeX distribution tree instead.

Options

\usetheme[options]{seville}

where options may be some of these (comma-separated):

• alegreya uses Huerta Tipográfica's Alegreya Sans font.
• lmodern uses the Latin Modern font, for a more classical LaTeX look.
• fira uses Mozilla's Fira Sans font and its Fira Math companion.
• noto uses Google's Noto font.
• lualatex uses the default fonts, Adobe's Source Sans, Source Code Pro and Source Serif fonts, with LuaLaTeX . The math font is STIX Two Math.
• xelatex same as above but with XeLaTeX.
• material uses Google's Material Design color system while keeping a similar look.
• academicons uses Academicons for some links.

Since the first six options select the main fonts, you should only use one of them. The last two ones are compatible between them and with the rest.

The options fira, noto, lualatex, and academicons require compilation with LuaLaTeX. With fira, noto, and academicons you can use XeLaTeX instead, and you must with the xelatex option, but this forces you to install the Fira, Noto, Source, and STIX Two fonts in your system, if you use these options. In fact, if you use Fira, you also have to install Euler Math (used for calligraphic and fraktur math fonts) and XITS (used for missing symbols in Fira Math).

Warnings for Tectonic users! As of Tectonic 0.15.0:

• You must download and save the file beamerinnerthemetcolorbox.sty to your project's folder.
• You must use one and only one of the following options:
  • xelatex installing in your system the default Adobe's Source Sans, Source Code Pro and Source Serif fonts, and the STIX Two Math font.
  • noto installing the Noto fonts.
  • fira installing the Fira and Fira Math fonts.
  • lmodern without installing anything.
• You can't use the alegreya or lualatex options.

Acknowledgements

This theme is inspired by Matthias Vogelgesang's beautiful Metropolis theme. It uses the Solarized color palette, Adobe's Source Sans, Source Code Pro and Source Serif fonts, the Euler Virtual Math font based in Hermann Zapf's designs, icons by Font Awesome, and a lovely logo by Graficatessen, along with many other FOSS things. I'm grateful to all creators that make this possible.

Why this theme?

The Metropolis theme is unfortunately unmaintained. Changes in its dependencies have caused glitches. Seville is extremely simple. It is therefore easy to maintain although it has way less options. Seville is probably a drop-in replacement for people that was using Metropolis without tweaking too much.

I've also added some goodies for mathematicians and academics in general.
