ScPo beamer theme

by Johannes Boehm johannes.boehm@sciencespo.fr

scpo is a theme for beamer. Feel free to use it for your seminar talks. Here are some demonstration slides.

Also, the theme is far from perfect, so please feel free to submit pull requests.

Installation

Installing scpo from source, like any Beamer theme, involves five easy steps:

1. Download the source with a git clone of the scpo repository or as a zip archive of the latest development version.
2. Install the fonts. You can find Mozilla's Fira Sans here, or run the getFiraFonts_*.sh script in the root directory of the zip file.
3. Compile the style files by running make sty inside the downloaded directory.
4. Move the resulting *.sty files to the folder containing your presentation. To use scpo with many presentations, run make install or move the *.sty files to a folder in your TeX path instead (might require admin rights).
5. Use the theme for your presentation by declaring \usetheme{scpo} in the preamble of your Beamer document.

Usage

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

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{scpo}           % Use scpo theme
\title{A minimal example}
\date{\today}
\author{Johannes Boehm}
\institute{Sciences Po}
\begin{document}
  \maketitle
  \section{First Section}
  \begin{frame}{First Frame}
    Hello, world!
  \end{frame}
\end{document}

The theme is built on the Metropolis theme, and most of the options for that theme also work here.
