Moloch
A Functional and Minimalist Beamer Theme
Moloch is a functional and minimalist Beamer theme for LaTeX presentations. It tries to keep things simple while still providing a flexible and modern design.
Introduction
Beamer is a great way to make presentations with LaTeX, but its theme selection is surprisingly sparse. The stock themes share an aesthetic that can be a little cluttered, while the few distinctive custom themes available are often specialized for a particular corporate or institutional brand.
The goal of Moloch is to provide a simple, modern Beamer theme suitable for anyone to use. It tries to minimize noise and maximize space for content; the only visual flourish it offers is an (optional) progress bar added to each slide or to the section slides.
Moloch is maintained at https://github.com/jolars/moloch. If you have any issues, find mistakes in the manual or want to help make the theme even better, please get in touch there.
Moloch is a fork of the popular Metropolis theme by Matthias Vogelgesang. The motivation for the fork was to fix some longstanding bugs in Metropolis and also simplify the codebase to make it easier to maintain and less fragile to changes in the underlying Beamer code.
A First Example
Here’s a small demo of what Moloch looks like:
