Instructions

After downloading, copy the files named beamer*themefocus.sty into the same folder as your LaTeX source file.

Then include the theme by writing:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usetheme{focus}

in the preamble of your document.

Customize colors

Focus is based on two colors, namely main and background, that can be customized after including the theme.

For example:

\usetheme{focus}

\definecolor{main}{RGB}{92, 138, 168}
\definecolor{background}{RGB}{240, 247, 255}

produces the following ice-blue color theme.

Customize the footline

The footline numbering can be customized through the theme option numbering. The standard value is:

\usetheme[numbering=progressbar]{focus}

that shows an progress bar of increasing length on the footline.

Alternatively, a full footline bar with the frame numbering can be shown with:

\usetheme[numbering=fullbar]{focus}

In such case, an optional text to be printed on the left side of the footlinecan be customized with:

\footlineinfo{Custom footline text}

The footline may also be disabled globally by typing:

\usetheme[numbering=none]{focus}

Customize fonts

Focus is using the Fira fonts by default.

This can be changed by using the option nofirafonts:

\usetheme[nofirafonts]{focus}
