Overleaf users

Warning
You can ignore this slide if you’re not working with Overleaf.

Overleaf, Beamer and Biber do not always get along well


together. For this reason, if you make a mistake while writing
this presentation, in the drop-down error message you’ll
always get Biber-related error messages.

Luckily, you just have to click on “go to first error/warning”


and the UI will scroll to the line containing your mistake.

Compiling

Warning
You can ignore this slide if you’re working with Overleaf.

To compile this deck you’ll need the biber package. Probably


your TEXeditor already supports it; if not, you will easily find
online the instructions to install it.

If you’re not using an editor, you can compile this presentation


using the command line by running:

$ pdflatex main.tex
$ biber main.bcf
$ pdflatex main.tex
$ pdflatex main.tex

Colors

For this template we defined four colors, following the Style


Manual of the University of Udine:
• UniOrange
• UniBlue
• UniBrown
• UniGold

You can use these colors as you want in your presentation. For
example, you can color the text in gold by writing
\{UniGold}{my gold text}.

We also redefined many of the most common LATEX and Beamer


commands, like itemize, block, etc. You will see samples of
these commands in the following slides.

\item<1->[This is the second item] two
\end{description}

Framecard

You can display a frame with a colored background and a huge


text in the center using the command \framecard.

For example, you can write:

\framecard{A SECTION\\TITLE}

This will display a frame with a orange background and the


phrase "A SECTION TITTLE" in the center. You can also use a
custom color with \framecard:

\framecard{A SECTION\\TITLE}
\framecard[UniBlue]{A SECTION TITLE\\
WITH A CUSTOM COLOR}

}

Alternatively, to make the background 50% transparent, you


can write \framepic[0.5]{graphics/darth}...
