Document Classes ⇒ Pretty beamer doesn't compile

[theo moore]

I've used beamer before fine, but this time around, I wanted to work with the nice beamer template here (forth link down).

Strangely, the example-talk.tex file doesn't compile. There are so many errors, it's hard to say what's going on. For example, the first error I get is a "missing number" on this line,

Code: Select all

\definecolor{oxygenorange}{HTML}{f7800a}

What's going on? I've tried compiling both using latex and using pdflatex. No luck.

Can any of you compile it?

The devil is in the details. For some reason the colour specifications done in the beamerthemeOxygen.sty file are not accepted. This might depend on the OS. On Windows it gives errors. I didn't test it yet on a Linux system. The only thing you have to do is replace the lower case letters in the colour specifications by upper case letters.

Code: Select all

\definecolor{oxygenorange}{HTML}{F7800A}
\definecolor{oxygengray}{HTML}{686868}
\definecolor{oxygenlightgray}{HTML}{EEEEEE}
\definecolor{oxygenblue}{HTML}{236EAF}

The document now will compile but you will get several warnings about overfull hboxes. Nevertheless the result looks pretty good.


Best regards
