Moloch

Moloch is a simple Beamer theme suitable for anyone to use. It is a fork of the Moloch Theme. I created the fork mainly to fix some outstanding issues to Moloch, since the theme is no longer actively maintained. I also wanted to simplify some of the code, for instance no longer hard-code the use of the Fira Sans font and introduce subtitles for frames.

Have a look at the [demo slides][] to see how the theme looks.

Installation

A CTAN release is planned, but for now you can install the theme manually from source. You need a working LaTeX installation with l3build installed. Then just follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/jolars/moloch.git
2. Install the package: l3build install

Usage

The following code shows a minimal example of a Beamer presentation using Moloch.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome, but we are generally not interested in changes that can be easily added through the standard Beamer interface.
