SMDS Beamer Theme

Installation

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

1. Download the source with a git clone of the SMDS theme 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/beamerthemesmds.ins.)

3. Move the resulting *.sty files to the folder containing your presentation. To use the theme 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{smds} in the preamble of your Beamer document.

Usage

The following code snippet illustrates the use of the SMDS Beamer theme in a very simple Beamer presentation.
