How to add more beamer themes?

2008-12-06 Thread Christian Bustamante 
Hi all

I am using LyX 1.6 under Vista, and I wondering how can I add more beamer
themes? I am really interested in the Trondheim theme. It's distribution
came with diferent files, but I don't know where I have to put it to LyX
recognize it.

Can anybody help me to do that?

The first step is to locate your local texmf tree.  This moved between 
MiKTeX 2.6 and 2.7.  If you're not sure where it is, run the MiKTeX 
Settings application and switch to the Roots tab.  In 2.7, look for a 
path that doesn't have a description (such as C:\Local TeX Files).  In 
2.6, it was usually under ...\Application Data, I think.


Once you've found it, navigate to it in Windows Explorer and create the 
path local root\tex\latex\beamer.  Install your new theme(s) in there. 
 Then, in General tab of the MiKTeX Settings app, click Refresh FNDB. 
Once that's done, you should be able to use the themes from LyX.  Note 
that if LyX already knows you have beamer installed (the beamer layout 
is available), you do not need to reconfigure LyX when you add themes. 
You just need MiKTeX to know where to find them.

Beamer Themes

2005-06-07 Thread Rich Shepard 

  In the beamer class docs there is mention of a number of themes (each the
name of a city where the author presented a talk), but no examples of each
one or a list of what's available. Same situation with theme colors: no
listing of what's available.

  Has anyone put together such lists? Or, are they available on the web
somewhere?

TIA,

Rich
