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.
