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 I created the fork mainly to fix some outstanding issues to Moloch, since the theme is no longer actively maintained.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

Installing Moloch from source, like any Beamer theme, involves four easy steps:

1. Download the source with a git clone of the repository.
2. Compile the style files by running make sty inside the downloaded directory. (Or run LaTeX directly on source/molochtheme.ins.)
3. Move the resulting *.sty files to the folder containing your presentation. To use Moloch with many presentations, run make install or move the *.sty files to a folder in your TeX path instead (might require sudo rights).
4. Use the theme for your presentation by declaring \usetheme{moloch} in the preamble of your Beamer document.

Usage

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