beamer colors

Hi,

I'm having some real trouble setting colors with beamer. One frame I want to be white on black since it includes a video:

{
\setbeamercolor{background canvas}{bg=black,fg=white}
\frame

\begin{centering}

scale texttt?

Hi,

How can I scale the size of \texttt text?

I have redefined the font with
\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{txtt}
since I really like txtt. However it looks to big relative to my normal text. Is there anyway I can scale the size (as packages such as helvet allow).

Re: koma scrartcl with parskip - section spacing

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I wasn't sure titlesec was compatible with koma script. I had seen in the FAQ that koma script was supposed to provide the same functionality itself, but having looked at the .cls file as you suggest it seems those spacings are hard coded.

koma scrartcl with parskip - section spacing

Hi,

I am using KOMA script scratcl to typeset a document.

Due to journal requirements I need to use the 'parskip' option to have
paragraphs seperated by a blank line.

When I do this, the spacing between (sub)section headings and the body
text becomes very big.

At the moment the only solution I ...

Modern Looking Latex Styles


Don't give up so fast. Setting up a complete layout is less complicated than it seems at first sight. Just begin and try it. In case of occurring issues, feel free to ask.

Thanks for the advice... After spending a bit of time I found this to be the case, and have got good results using Koma ...

scrheaders all show "Contents"

Hi,

I am using koma-script scrreprt and am trying to use scrheadings from scrpage2 package. However I have a problem. All pages which show the extra heading show "Contents", even when the page is in another section completely. What is going on? At the moment I don't have much content - just the ...

Re: Modern Looking Latex Styles

Thanks for the information folks.

I guess I'm not so interested in tweaking the layout - or even setting fonts and stuff manually myself. I had thought the point of latex was that that is left to professionals to set up and I just concern myself with the structure of the document.

So I was hoping ...

Thanks very much for the prompt reply...

Modern Looking Latex Styles

Hi,

I just came across this:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf

and I really like the clean modern look to the style - I haven't seen anything like that in latex before. Unfortunately I couldn't find the source in the package so I was wondering if anyone ...
