Features

The Jülich LaTeX Beamer theme implements the full corporate design in a Beamer-compatible fashion. Most (well, hopefully all) usual Beamer commands are adapted to Jülich needs and can be used.

Titles are set in Jülich's blue and all caps, sub-titles are available if needed. The Jülich logo is placed in the lower right, while "Member of the Helmholtz Association" is printed in the lower left. Between, date and page number are printed. But all of this can be changed – and more!

Some available configuration features:

• Change the language of the document with:
  \usepackage[ngerman,english]{babel}\selectlanguage{ngerman}
  (this will also change "Member of the Helmholtz Association" to "Mitglied der Helmholtz-Gemeinchaft")
• All Jülich colors are available:
  fzjblue, fzjorange, fzjviolet, fzjyellow, fzjgreen, fzjred, fzjlightblue.
• Highlight something in Jülich red with \alert{something}
• Create a footer-less plain frame with
  \begin{frame}[plain]…\end{frame}
• Set the aspect ratio of slides to modern 16:9: \documentclass[aspectratio=169]{beamer}
• Set the background of a frame by changing the according Beamer template:

  {
  \setbeamertemplate{background}{\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{myimage.pdf}}
  \begin{frame}…\end{frame}
  }
  

• Set other Beamer templates:
  • Slide numbers, for example full display (to include total amount): \setbeamertemplate{frame number}[full]
  • Set a partner logo and use a template, for example: \setbeamertemplate{footer element1}[logo]{jara} (will display jara.pdf at first position in the footer)
• Set Jülich CD-specific template:
  • Show image on title page: \fzjset{title page=image}
  • Use only text on section page: \fzjet{section page=text}
  • Set slideshow title in all caps: \fzjset{title=allcaps}
  • Set frame title in regular style: \fzjset{frametitle=regular}
• Support for progress bar:
  • Enable: \setbeamertemplate{progressbar}[visible]
  • Change height: \fzjset{progress bar/height=1ex}
  • See progressbar.tex / progressbar.pdf
