Beamer port of the official PoliMi presentation theme.

Requires the package PGF/TikZ to be installed in your LaTeX distribution.

Download the latest release by following this link.

Then copy the files named beamer*themepolimi.sty and the folder beamerthemepolimi_img/ into the same folder as your LaTeX source file.

Finally write in your preamble:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usetheme{polimi}

The standard background photo on the title page (instead of a default white background) can be selected through the optional parameter bgphoto:

\usetheme[bgphoto]{polimi}

In order to hide the default logo shown on the title page, the option nologo is available:

\usetheme[nologo]{polimi}

Then you can customize your own title page by typing, for instance, the following commands on the first slide, right after the \maketitle command (see demo.tex):

\begin{tikzpicture}[overlay, remember picture]
    \node at (current page.north) [anchor=north, inner sep=2cm]
    {
        \includegraphics[width=0.3\paperwidth]{logo_centrato_BN_negativo.png}
    };
\end{tikzpicture}

You can set a custom font, which has to be installed on your system, by adding the following commands to the preamble and by using XeLaTeX as compiler:

\usepackage{ifxetex}
\ifxetex
    \usepackage{fontspec}
    \setsansfont[Scale=0.95]{Arial}
\fi

The default block style can be modified by adding either

\setbeamertemplate{blocks}[rounded][shadow=false]

or

\setbeamertemplate{blocks}[default][shadow=false]

to your preamble after loading the theme.
