Summary description: A flexible beamer color theme to maximize visibility
Announcement text:
The effectiveness of a colour scheme is heavily dependent on the conditions you present in. Colours that look nice on a computer screen may be invisible projected; colours that stand out in a lit room may strain the eyes in a dark room. If possible, you should carefully choose from Beamer's wide variety of colour themes to find one that fits your presentation's individual needs. The above paragraph would be excellent advice, except for one thing — only a handful of pre-selected colour themes are publicly available for Beamer. The vast majority of Beamer presentations use one of the built-in colour themes, which are effective in some conditions but inadequate in others. The goal of this package is to reduce the number of situations you find yourself without any good colour options. Owl is a flexible dark or light colour theme designed for maximum readability in environments where most themes fall flat. Main features: - Dark color theme for presenting in low-light conditions - Optional light color theme for presenting in bright ambient light - Redefines color names "red", "green", "blue", "yellow" to values that are visible when displayed by certain projectors, particularly those with a very bright green channel and dim red and blue channels. This behaviour can be optionally disabled, with the provided colours also available as "OwlRed", "OwlGreen", etc.
