The mtheme is a Beamer theme with minimal visual. The core design principles of the theme were described in a blog post. Not convinced? Have a look at the demo slides.

As of now, fonts, colors and the section indicator are hardcoded into the theme. Thus to compile the demo with make you must

• use XeLaTeX,
• install the Fira Sans font,
• have a usable TikZ installation, and
• install the Python package Pygments (pip install pygments).

Depending on the Linux distribution, the packaged name of Fira Sans might be Fira Sans OT instead of Fira Sans. In that case, you may have to edit beamerfontthememetropolis.sty.

• titleprogressbar adds a thin progress bar similar to the section progress bar underneath each frame title

  

• \plain{title=[]}{body} sets a slide in plain dark colors.

The beamer theme also contains pre-defined pgfplot styles. Use the mlineplot key to plot line data and mbarplot or horizontal mbarplot to plot bar charts.
