Hi,

I'm using the includeonlyframes command provided by Beamer in order to modify and compile a single slide at a time.

I use overlays to progressively display the content of a slide, but the first overlay of a slide has a dark background when I'm using your theme.

I guess that the problem comes from the if (line 65) which should work only for the title page?

I use the frameno option and I see that \insertframenumber (line 70) correctly computes the number, even when I compile a single slide only.

Question

Is it possible to use the variable considered in \insertframenumber, rather than \thipage, to change the background color for the title page only?

Thanks for the nice template.

I noticed the dot seems not well behaved when I use "\subsection"

Is it intended?

Dear @piazzai ,
Thank you very much for your contribution, I really like using this template.

However, I struggle with outputting the table of content. What do you recommend to use in order to output the table of content?

The usual \frame{\tableofcontents} just lists the sections in the header and doesn't look like a table of content.

Thank you.

If I have two \Section{}, everything works fine. But when I put a third one, it appears on the top right along with the second one (which is on the top left) for all frames belonging to Sections 2 & 3. Section 1 continues to appear correctly, on its own, on the top left for its frames. Further sections (more than 3) also get added/stuck. A fourth section would go to the top right, making the third one go to the middle.

You can check it by putting two extra Sections after the \End of the Demo section.

If I'm making any mistakes here let me know. I'm not a very experienced LaTeX user, and this is the first issue I'm posting on GitHub, so I'm not sure if I'm doing things correctly.

Some pictures:

Second, Third, Fourth Sections:

(this appears for all frames in these 3 sections)

Hi, thanks for your template, it's possible change black color of the first page?

Hi ,

First off, I want to give you a huge shoutout for creating the Arguelles theme. It's been fantastic to work with, and I truly appreciate the effort you've put into it.

However, I've stumbled upon a tiny hiccup that I thought I'd share. I've been trying to set background images for my slides, and while everything is smooth sailing for the title slide, the other slides seem a tad bit stubborn. They just won't show their background images!

Here's a small snippet I whipped up to showcase what I mean:

\documentclass[aspectratio=169]{beamer}

\usetheme{Arguelles}

\title{Background Image in Arguelles}
\subtitle{Test of background image}

\begin{document}

	\usebackgroundtemplate{ \includegraphics[width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]{treedark.png} }
	\frame{\titlepage}
	\usebackgroundtemplate{}
	
	\usebackgroundtemplate{ \includegraphics[width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]{tree3.png} }
	\begin{frame}
		\frametitle{Background, where art thou?}
		\begin{itemize}
			\item The elusive background image 
		\end{itemize}
	\end{frame}
	
\end{document}

So, the title slide is flaunting its treedark.png background perfectly, but the next slide seems to be having a day off and isn't displaying its tree3.png background. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, or perhaps it's a tiny quirk in the theme?

If you have any tips or tricks up your sleeve to fix this, I'd be super grateful.

Thanks once again for your brilliant work on the theme. Looking forward to hearing from you when you get a chance!

Cheers,
Thelmo

If one uses xelatex or lualatex and already has the Alegreya font installed system-wise, then they would not need the alegreya tex package to use the Arguelles theme. Most importantly, installing the alegreya tex package in this case would lead to having the font in two different places, which is really not a good idea.

I believe that, instead of forcing the use of this font via the package, it would be better to provide concrete instructions in the README.md file for using it via specific Beamer commands for the various tex engines.

Hello,

First, I am very impressed by this really well designed presentation template.

FYI: I managed to get the demo.tex compile and produce PDF on overleaf.com by simply following the advice and uploading all the .sty files to the relevant folder/project.

I am puzzled how to organize the presentation in few sections, such as:

• preface (motto, outline)
• introduction (few slides with necessary background)
• research
• summary

Would it be possible for you to introduce some minimal example (section_1, section_2) in demo.tex?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Hi, it's me again.

Thanks for your template, and I basically use it in a daily basis. I have a personal request:

Do you consider the inclusion of page numbers? (maybe set it as an option)

Since in a talk, audience often wants to point out which page is related ...

I have a workable code, but it's not the perfect. Just put it before the begin{document}

% page number

\addtobeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}{ \usebeamerfont{footline}%
    \large{\insertframenumber} \hspace{0.5em} \vspace{0.5em}}

It looks like:

Known issues:

It counts from and is shown in the beginning title page.

Thanks for your time.

Dear @piazzai,

Your theme is great, so I need help to solve a problem.

When I used lstlisting in a presentation, I had to define the frame as fragile and that created a problem.
If the frame is defined as fragile, the text retains the background color of the frame.
I checked changing the background color and it affects the text color

If the frame is defined as standout, I can clearly see the text on the slide.

Interestingly, if I use your theme on overleaf everything works like a charm (text color is normal), but if I use it offline and compile it from pdflatex, it's a problem.

Thank you!
