For a quick start edit the following:
------------------------------------

main.tex: Select the document type, and edit the document and author information. Add more LaTeX files if needed e.g. for more chapters.
text/acronyms.tex:Edit the acronyms used in this document as needed.
text/preamble.tex: Edit the preable of your document, including the abstract, copyright of the document, preface, acknowledgment, dedication.
text/chapter.tex: This file is for the main body of your text. Add more chapters if needed by adding them also in the main.tex file.  
text/references.tex: Edit the references of your document.
text/appendix.tex: If needed, add the appendix of your document here.

 

Description and usage
---------------------

This template supports 5 different types of documents in english:
code 0 : report
code 1: bachelor thesis
code 2: master thesis
code 3: PhD thesis
code 4: Habilitation thesis

and in german: 
code 10 : report
code 11: bachelor thesis
code 12: master thesis
code 13: PhD thesis
code 14: Habilitation thesis

*Details for the document types you can find in setup/setup.tex

To select the preferred document type, edit the file main.tex by changing the \def\doctype{x} to the preferred code correspondingly.

Additionally, edit the rest of the main.tex to add the document's and the author's information.

Feel free to add acronyms (text/acronyms.tex), references (references.bib), appendix information (appendix.tex), preamble (preamble.tex) and even add more chapters (e.g. chapter1.tex).
In the case more chapters are added, include them in the main.tex in the following way (e.g. chapter1.tex):
\input{text/chapter1}

Structure:
---------

The theme contains 4 source files
• beamerthemeWien.sty
• beamercolorthemeWien.sty
• beamerinnerthemeWien.sty
• beamerouterthemeWien.sty

Local Installation:
-------------------
• Local installation is the simplest way of installing the theme.
• You need to placing the 4 source files in the same folder as your presentation. When you download the theme, the 4 theme files are located in the local folder.
• Alternatively you have a local TEX folder under your home directory, where TEX finds your packages.

Global Installation
-------------------
• If you wish to make the theme globally available, you must put the files in your local latex directory tree. The location of the root of the local directory tree depends on your operating system and the latex distribution.
• Detailed steps on how to proceed installation under various operating systems can be found in Beamer documentation.

Required Packages:
------------------
For using the Wien Theme you will need the Beamer class installed and the following 4
packages:
• TikZa
• calc
• xcolors
• tcolorbox
Due to the fact that the packages are very common they should be included in your latex distribution in the first place.

User Interface:
---------------

The Wien Theme can be loaded in a familiar way. In the preamble of your tex file you must type:
\usetheme[<options>]{Wien}
The presentation theme loads the inner, outer and colorWien theme files.

If you wish you can load only the color, the inner, or the outer theme directly by
• \usecolortheme[<options>]{Wien} (it has one option)
• \useinnertheme[<options>]{Wien} (it has six options)
• \useoutertheme[<options>]{Wien} (and it has five options)

Package Options - Logos:
-----------------------

Three options controls the logos on the title frame (Inner Theme option).
• logoleft: Set the logo at the top left position. The default is the file TUW-Logo.png.
• logocenter: Set the logo at the top centre position. The default is the file no logo.
• logoright: Set the logo at the top right position. The default is the file ICT-Logo.png.

Options - Background:
--------------------

Four options control the background images (Inner Theme option).
• backgroundfirst: Set the background image for the first and the last frames.
The default is the file TUW-Background.png.
• nobackgroundfirst: Do not use a background image. The default is to use one.
• backgroundmain: Set the background image for all body frames. The default is,
depending on the aspect ratio, either ICT-Background-43.pdf,
ICT-Background-169.pdf or ICT-Background.pdf.
• nobackgroundmain: Do not use a background image. The default is to use one.

Package Options - Frame Title:
------------------------------

One option controls the appearance of the title line on each frame (Outer Theme option).
• reversetitle: Set the frame title to blue and foreground to white. The default is a blue font on white background.

Package Options - Foot Line:
---------------------------

Four options control the content of the foot line (Outer Theme options).
• noauthor: No author is shown in the central part of the foot line.
• notitle: No title is shown in the central part of the foot line.
• noframnumber: No frame number is shown in the right part of the foot line inside
the progress circle.
• nocircle: No progress circle is shown

Title Page:
----------

The title page can be populated with title, author, institution and date. For instance, I
used
\title{ICT Presentations}
\subtitle{Background Images and Logos }
\author{Axel Jantsch}
\institute[TU Wien]{TU Wien, Vienna, Austria}
\date{\today}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\titlepage
\end{frame}
to produce the title pages of this presentation.

Aspect Ratio of Frames:
-----------------------

Beamer can be used with different aspect ratios: 4:3, 16:10, 16:9, 14:9, 12.5:10, 12.8:9.6, and 13.5:9 as documentclass option, e.g.
\documentclass[aspectratio=169]{beamer}
The ICT template usually scales the logos and pictures by keeping the original aspect ratios, so it can handle the different beamer aspect ratios well. The exception is the background file for the main frames (not for the first or last frames), because there the TU Wien logo is part of the background file and gets distorted when used in different aspect ratios.

Aspect Ratio of Frames - cont’d:
-------------------------------

With version 0.5.3 we support the aspect ratios 4:3 and 16:9 with three different background files:
• ICT-Background-43.pdf
• ICT-Background-169.pdf
• ICT-Background.pdf
The one is used which comes closest to the selected aspect ratio. You can of course supply or own frame background with the option template option backgroundmain=YOURBACKGROUND.pdf.
