\title{SUTD-light Beamer Theme}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{Introduction}
\begin{frame}{Why SUTD-light?}
Most beamer themes look the same (warning, subjective)
\begin{itemize}
\item Toolbar that no-one ever uses
\item Overly complex navigation elements
\item Weird color schemes that are hard to change
\item In general, too much complexity
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{SUTD-light}
SUTD-light was created to provide a minimalistic, modern, no-nonsense style for conference talks and lectures
\begin{itemize}
\item Items
\begin{itemize}
\item Subitem
\begin{itemize}
\item Third layer
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\item \alert{Highlights} are in red
\end{itemize}
\begin{block}{Normal blocks are actually invisible}
\begin{itemize}
\item That is to suit my org-mode based workflow better
\item If you are emacs user, you should definitely check out org-mode and beamer export
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{On Figures in Beamer}
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}{0.7\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item Images should not complicate the slides
\item Put them above or below text
\item Or put them on the side
\item Tables done as figure can make your life much easier
\end{itemize}
\end{column}
\begin{column}{0.3\textwidth}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{layers}
\end{center}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{Other Blocks}
Beamer provides a range of other blocks, which I rarely use. In particular:
\begin{alertblock}{These Alertblocks}
That have a highlight color
\end{alertblock}
\begin{exampleblock}{These Exampleblocks}
That can be used to provide examples ;)
\end{exampleblock}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{Beware: Hacks}
\begin{itemize}
\item The beamer style is not done in ``proper'' beamer way
\item I originally did not have time to do it properly
\item And now it works nicely, so why change it?
\item If you want to fix this, please send me your better version
\item This theme is also in no way officially endorsed by SUTD
\item<2-> I hope this style is useful for you. Thanks for your interest!
