beamer lines themes

LaTeX beamer themes with customizable lines in various places.

LaTeX Style files

The following style files are provided:

• beamerthemelines.sty: provides the lines theme --- a general beamer theme (inner, outer and font theme) with horizontal lines instead/in addition to colored boxes.
• beamercolorthemeaptero.sty: provides a palette of muted colors and the aptero color theme fitting not only the lines theme.
• beamerthemeut.sty: provides the ut theme --- the lines theme specifically adapted for the cooperate design of the University of Tübingen.
• beamercolorthemeut.sty: the color palette of the cooperate design of the University of Tübingen. Used by the ut theme.

Usage of the lines theme

The lines theme can be used on its own, potentially together with the aptero or ut color theme.
