I haven't yet found a real tutorial about making his own Beamer theme. I just copied one of beamers themes and modified it to meet my needs. After you have a new theme, run texhash so that LaTeX finds the new theme -- if needed. An extract from my file `beamerthemesva.sty': #+begin_src latex % Copyright 2010, 2011 by Seb Vauban \ProvidesPackage{beamerthemesva}[2011/05/26 v1.0 sva beamer theme] \usefonttheme{sva}% Put yours, or a default one \usecolortheme{sva}% Put yours, or a default one \useinnertheme{sva}% Put yours, or a default one \useoutertheme{sva}% Put yours, or a default one % Color hyperref links and urls \definecolor{sva-color-link}{HTML}{1968BA} % blue \definecolor{sva-color-url}{HTML}{003399} % darker blue \hypersetup{% colorlinks=true,% avoid the red boxed around cross-references linkcolor=sva-color-link,% color of internal links urlcolor=sva-color-url, % color of external links }% #+end_src Check how the currently existing theme are created. Not that hard. Not that easy, though... Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
