Beamer Custom Theme Problem

Post by Xico_Cabral »

Hi,

I have a custom theme for beamer created by my professor which has a beamertheme and a beamercolortheme that i put in the respective folders along the other default themes. However when i run TexnicCenter (w/ miktex) i get the warnings:

Code: Select all

LaTeX Warning: You have requested package `beamerthemeIST1',
               but the package provides `beamerthemeAnnArbor'.

LaTeX Warning: You have requested package `beamercolorthemeIST1',
               but the package provides `beamercolorthemewhale'.
and then the presentation opened is in an AnnArbor theme with the Whale color theme.
Is there anyway to solve this and use the custom theme and custom color theme?

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Beamer Custom Theme Problem

Post by localghost »

The name of the the theme files (*.sty) and their identification via \ProvidesPackage in the first line of the package source don't match. That's why you get the warnings. Your professor seemed to just have renamed the „AnnArbor“ and „Whale“ theme files. In case of doubt ask him directly.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thank you! This forum is a great help to anyone who uses latex!

How can I change the first line of the package source to make them match and solve my problem? This template has been done some time ago, I doubt the professor remembers such an issue.

Thanks
