General ⇒ beamer | Using Style Files from custom Directory

[hbaromega]

I want to keep all of my own personal beamer theme style files in a particular directory and want to use them by defining the path of that directory in my .tex file. Is that possible?

I can only use a style file only when it is in beamer's default path, namely

Code: Select all

/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/base/themes/theme/

or in the current directory.

Suppose my theme style file name is beamerthemeTest.sty . So far I am using \usetheme{Test}.

If I make a directory called STY, can I do something like \usetheme{STY/Test}?

Thanks a lot.

Build up a TeX tree in your home directory.

Code: Select all

~/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/base/themes/personal/

Put your themes there and do a texhash as normal user.

No no, that's not what I meant. I want to make it installation-path independent.

I want to do the modification in the .tex file itself (so that if I want to work in another machine, I won't have to look for the path and copy my directory there) . Like in normal latex I can do the same while using \usepackage or \includegraphics .

Thanks a lot.
