Hi sopan,

A link to the source can be found in the article. I understand it might be a bit difficult to see, will try to add a more clear link in the article later.

Hello,

I’m a Ph.D. student in the French National Institute of Transport Research and Safety. I found this Beamer them crossing this site http://mcclinews.free.fr/latex/introbeamer.php

I would like to thank a lot the authors and to give them my congratulations. I’m a user of Latex since I was in Ingineering school and I like it much because it make easier dealing with mathematical equations. However, when you want to speak to less creazy poeple than mathematicians, you need to put at least some colors to be atractive… So this them is a very good idea to make this.

@Nathan : texhash equivalent for windows is
MikeTex options (accessible from accesories menu of your tex editor) > Refresh FNDB

Best regards,
Mohamed

Ah, forgot about that indeed

The thing is that latex is not able to read the ‘normal’ picture formats (as jpg, png, etc), while pdflatex is. In case you would like to use latex, you must ensure that you have the pictures in a format that latex understands (i.e. eps). Under Unix, when you have ImageMagick installed, you can easily convert the original picture with the convert command:
convert picture.jpg picture.eps

I am not sure if there is another way to actually have latex read the original pictures. In order for it to work regardless of what you are using (pdflatex or latex), I would suggest creating an eps of the picture in the same directory as the original picture. When you do not use the extension in the file to be used, latex (and pdflatex) will use the type of image that they know how to handle.

Hope this helps you.

Kind regards,

Guido Diepen

Yes other themes work. I think i figured out what the problem is, i have not solved it. When i use Latex , PGP is not able to find the Background picture even though it is in the texmf folder. It does when i place the picture in the working folder and make sure the format is *.eps
I am new to Latex and i do not know how to fix this

Great to hear that people like the style

Regarding your problem, unfortunately I don’t have too much experience with using my theme via latex instead of pdflatex. What exactly is going wrong when you using latex? Does everything work if you use another style than my latexbeamer style diepen?

Hey,
I liked this style and i have started using it for a workshop i am conducting. I use PStricks to include graphics in my presentations. To compile PStricks i cannot compile directly using pdflatex. While the theme was working fine when i use Pdflatex. It is not when i am using just Latex to compile the same. Can you help with this problem
