beamertemplates
This is a really stupid question (I know) but I can't figure out how to get this LaTeX beamer template: http://blog.barisione.org/2007-09/torino-a-pretty-theme-for-latex-beamer/
I get a tar-file and zip it. But how to use the template? When I click on it I just get into a lot of different files.
Thank you very much in advance.
Simply copy the definition of the footline template and introduce the desired modifications:
\documentclass{beamer}
\makeatletter
\DeclareOptionBeamer{compress}{\beamer@compresstrue}
\ProcessOptionsBeamer
\mode<presentation>
\useoutertheme[footline=authortitle]{miniframes}
\useinnertheme{circles}
\usecolortheme{whale}
\usecolortheme{orchid}
% Colors.

\setbeamercolor{titlelike}{parent=structure}
\setbeamercolor{frametitle}{fg=black}
\setbeamercolor{title}{fg=black} \setbeamercolor{item}{fg=black}

You can set the headline template appropriately. The separation line color allows you to define the background color for the new bar; I set it to myred, where I used
\definecolor{myred}{RGB}{225,0,76}
Of course, use the color that best suits your needs. I also defined a \Ulogo command that allows you to introduce the University logo centered in this bar; the usage of this command is similar to that of \titlegraphic:
\Ulogo{\includegraphics[height=2ex,width=3cm]{<image file>}}
A complete example (since no information was provided about dimensions of the new bar and position of the logo, I used some sensible values, but you can change those according to your needs):
\documentclass{beamer}
\beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty
\mode<presentation>
{
\usetheme{dshsbeamer}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}
\setbeamertemplate{items}[circle]
}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setbeamerfont{frametitle}{size=\LARGE,series=\bfseries}
% color definitions
\usepackage{xcolor}
\definecolor{spohoblue}{RGB}{0, 83, 146}
\definecolor{black}{RGB}{0, 0, 0}
\definecolor{myred}{RGB}{225,0,76}
\setbeamercolor{separation line}{bg=myred}
\newcommand\Ulogo[1]{\def\insertUlogo{#1}}
\makeatletter
\setbeamertemplate{headline}
{
\@tempdima=\textwidth%
\advance\@tempdima by\beamer@leftmargin%
\advance\@tempdima by\beamer@rightmargin%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[colsep=1.5pt,wd=\the\@tempdima,ht=4ex,dp=0ex]{separation line}
\vbox{}\vskip-10pt
\hfill\insertUlogo\hfill\null
\vskip0.5ex

Please read the Beamer user manual. A Beamer theme is a file with the name
beamertheme<name>.sty. The Torino theme is calledbeamerthemeTorino.sty. Place this and the other files in the directory where you are working. In your Beamer document write this command:and write your presentation as usual.
If you want to use the theme in several presentations, unpack the files in your TEXMF tree (the directory where all TeX builtin stuff is stored), and run
texhashto update the filename database.
