Introduction
Beamer is an awesome 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 metropolis 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.
By default, metropolis uses Fira Sans, a gorgeous typeface commissioned by
Mozilla and designed by Carrois. For best results, you will need the Fira typeface
installed and use XELATEX to typeset your slides. However, metropolis can also be
used with other typefaces and LATEX build systems.
metropolis’s codebase is maintained on GitHub. If you have issues, find mistakes in the manual or want to help make the theme even better, please get in
touch there. The full list of contributors already contains over a dozen names!

Getting Started
2.1 Installing from CTAN
For most users, we recommend installing metropolis from CTAN. If you keep
your TEX distribution up-to-date, chances are good that metropolis is already
installed. If it is not, you need to update your packages. If your distribution is
TEX Live (or MacTEX on OS X), the following command updates all packages.
tlmgr update --all
If this results in an error, you may need to run it with administrative privileges:
sudo tlmgr update --all
MacTEX on OS X also provides a graphical interface for tlmgr called TEX Live Utility.
For any other distribution please refer to its documentation on how to update
your packages.
To get the most out of the theme you should also install the Fira fonts. However,
this is not mandatory; metropolis also works with the standard fonts.
2.2
Installing from GitHub
If you want to use the cutting-edge development version of metropolis, you can
install it manually. Like any LATEX package, this involves four easy steps:
Download the source with a git clone of the metropolis repository or as a
zip archive of the latest development version.
Compile the style files by running make sty inside the downloaded directory.
(Or run LATEX directly on source/metropolistheme.ins.)
Move the resulting *.sty files to the folder containing your presentation. To
use metropolis with many presentations, run make install or move the
*.sty files to a folder in your TEX path instead.
Use the theme for your presentation by declaring \usetheme{metropolis}
in the preamble of your Beamer document.
4
metropolis uses the Make build system to offer the following installation options
for advanced users:
make sty builds the theme style files.
make doc builds this documentation manual.
make demo builds a demo presentation to test the features of metropolis.
make all builds the theme and manual.
make clean removes the files generated by make all.
make install installs the theme into your local texmf folder.
make uninstall removes the theme from your local texmf folder.
2.3

The following code shows a minimal example of a Beamer presentation using
metropolis.

2.4
Dependencies
metropolis depends on the beamer class and the following standard packages:
5
• tikz
• etoolbox
• ifxetex
• pgfopts
• calc
• ifluatex
For best results, we recommend installing the fonts Fira Sans and Fira Mono
and compiling with metropolis using XELATEX or LuaTEX. These are optional dependencies; metropolis is compatible with (e.g.) pdfLATEX and will fall back to
standard fonts if Fira Sans or Fira Mono is not installed.
The packaged name of Fira Sans is Fira Sans OT in some Linux distributions; this case is automatically handled by metropolis.
2.5
Pandoc
To use this theme with Pandoc-based presentations, you can run the following
command
$ pandoc -t beamer --latex-engine=xelatex -V theme:
metropolis -o output.pdf input.md
3
Customization
3.1 Package options
The theme provides a number of options, which can be set using a key=value
interface. The primary way to set options is to provide a comma-separated list
of option-value pairs when loading metropolis in the preamble:
\usetheme[option1=value1, option2=value2, ...]{metropolis}
Options can be changed at any time — even mid-presentation! — with the
\metroset macro.
\metroset{option1=newvalue1, option2=newvalue2, ...}
The list of options is structured as shown in the following example.

Optionally adds a slide at the start of each subsection. If enabled with the
simple or progressbar options, the style of the section page will be updated to match the style of the subsection page. Note that section slides and
subsection slides can appear consecutively if both are enabled; you may want
to use this option together with sectionpage=none depending on the section
structure of your presentation.

3.2
Color Customization
The included metropolis color theme is used by default, but its colors can be
easily changed to suit your tastes. All of the theme’s styles are defined in terms
of three beamer colors:
• normal text (dark fg, light bg)
8
• alerted text (colored fg, should be visible against dark or light)
• example text (colored fg, should be visible against dark or light)
An easy way to customize the theme is to redefine these colors using
\setbeamercolor{ ... }{ fg= ... , bg= ... }
in your preamble. For greater customization, you can redefine any of the other
stock beamer colors. In addition to the stock colors the theme defines a number
of metropolis specific colors, which can also be redefined to your liking.
\setbeamercolor{progress bar}{ ... }
\setbeamercolor{title separator}{ ... }
\setbeamercolor{progress bar in head/foot}{ ... }
\setbeamercolor{progress bar in section page}{ ... }
3.3
Font Customization
The default font for metropolis is Fira. This can be easily changed using the
standard font selection commands of the fontspec package. So if you prefer, for
example, the Ubuntu font family, just add the following two commands after
loading the metropolis theme.
\setsansfont{Ubuntu}
\setmonofont{Ubuntu Mono}
If you are expecting to present in a large room or with an underpowered projector, you may want to change the font to a heavier weight of Fira to maximize
readability.
\setsansfont[BoldFont={Fira Sans SemiBold}]{Fira Sans Book}
3.3.1 Old style figures
The regular fontspec mechanism for changing glyph appearance applies also to
this theme. If you want to have old style figures in the text but regular lined
9
figures for math, you could add the following to your preamble:
\usefonttheme{professionalfonts}
% required for mathspec
\usepackage{mathspec}
\setsansfont[BoldFont={Fira Sans},
Numbers={OldStyle}]{Fira Sans Light}
\setmathsfont(Digits)[Numbers={Lining, Proportional}]{Fira
Sans Light}
3.4
Commands
3.4.1 Standout frames
The metropolis inner theme offers a custom frame format with large, centered
text and an inverted background — perfect for focusing attention on single sentence or image. To use it, add the key standout to the frame:
\begin{frame}[standout]
Thank you!
\end{frame}
4
pgfplots integration
metropolis comes with a set of pre-defined pgfplots styles and a color theme
based on Paul Tol’s color scheme.
4.1 Styles
Pass the following style keys to the axis environment to get the appropriate effect:
mlineplot
mbarplot
Plot regular line charts with reduced axis frames, less intrusive legend and subdued grid.
Plot vertical bar charts in a similar way as mlineplot but reduce grid usage.
10
horizontal mbarplot
disable thousands separator
Plot horizontal bar charts.
Helper style to remove thousands separator.
4.2
Paul Tol colors
A good presentation uses colors that are distinct from each other as much as
possible as well as from black and white, can be discerned item under different
lighting and display environments and by color-blind viewers, while matching
well together.
In a technical note for SRON, Paul Tol proposed a palette of colors satisfying
these constraints. The sub-package pgfplotsthemetol defines palettes for
pgfplots charts based on Tol’s work.
5
Tips & Tricks
5.1 Backup Slides
Speakers will often include extra slides at the end of their presentation to refer to during audience questions. One easy way to do this is to include the
appendixnumberbeamer package in your preamble and call \appendix before your backup slides.
metropolis will automatically turn off slide numbering and progress bars for
slides in the appendix.
6 Known Issues
6.1 Title formats
Be aware that not every font supports small caps, so the smallcaps or
allsmallcaps options may not work if you use a font other than Fira Sans.
In particular, the Computer Modern sans-serif typeface, which is used when
metropolis is compiled with pdfLATEX, does not have a small-caps variant.
11
The title format options allsmallcaps and allcaps are quite nice from an
aesthetic point of view, but their use of \MakeLowercase and \MakeUppercase
can cause unexpected problems. For example:
• Some commands, like \\, do not work inside \MakeLowercase and
\MakeUppercase. (See #125)
• Only alphabetic characters are affected by \MakeLowercase, so numerals
and punctuation remain at full height. This can spoil some of the aesthetic
benefits of allsmallcaps. (See #33)
• \MakeLowercase and \MakeUppercase apply to math mode and \scshape
does not. This can easily introduce mathematical errors that are hard to
catch.
• It is impossible to typeset symbols which are encoded as uppercase letters
in a different font. In particular, \mathbb and \mathcal letters will be
replaced by other math glyphs. (See #153)
The allsmallcaps and allcaps options are safe to use if your titles contain
only alphabetic characters and do not require the expansion of any macros.
6.2
Interactions with other color themes
metropolis can be used along with any other Beamer color theme, such as
crane or seahorse. If you wish to do this, it is usually best to include the
metropolis subpackages individually so the metropolis color theme is never
loaded. This will prevent conflicts between the metropolis color theme and
your preferred theme.
For example, overriding the color theme as follows may not work as expected because \usetheme{metropolis} loads the metropolis color theme, which defines a relationship between the frametitle background and the primary palette
of the theme. Since seahorse assumes a different relationship between its
palettes, the result is a grey, rather than periwinkle, frametitle background.
\usetheme{metropolis}
\usecolortheme{seahorse}
The correct colors are chosen if the metropolis outer, inner, and font themes
are loaded seperately:
12
\useoutertheme{metropolis}
\useinnertheme{metropolis}
\usefonttheme{metropolis}
\usecolortheme{seahorse}
% or your preferred color theme
Please note that metropolis may not use all the colors defined in your favourite
Beamer color theme. In particular, metropolis does not set a background color
for the title; this will cause issues when using color themes like whale which set
a white foreground for the title.
6.3
Notes on second screen
If you use the [show notes on second screen] option built in to Beamer
and compile with XELATEX, text on slides following the first section slide may be
rendered in white instead of the regular colour. This is due to a bug in Beamer
or XELATEX itself. You can work around it either by compiling with LuaTEX or by
adding the following code to your preamble to reset the text color on each slide.
\makeatletter
\def\beamer@framenotesbegin{% at beginning of slide
\usebeamercolor[fg]{normal text}
\gdef\beamer@noteitems{}%
\gdef\beamer@notes{}%
}
\makeatother
6.4
Standout frames with labels
Because the standout frame option creates a group to restrict the colour
change to a single slide, labels defined after calling standout will stay local
to the group. In other words, the following may result in a “label undefined”
error.
\begin{frame}[standout, label=conclusion]{Conclusion}
Awesome slide
13
\end{frame}
To fix this problem, change the order of the keys in the frame.
\begin{frame}[label=conclusion, standout]{Conclusion}
Awesome slide
\end{frame}
This error can be unwittingly triggered if you export your slides from Emacs Org
mode, which automatically adds labels after frame options. Alex Branham offers
the following solution for Org mode users, using org-set-property.
* Start of a frame
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_opt: label=conclusion,standout
:END:
6.5
Standout frames with Pandoc
With Pandoc versions prior 1.17.2 it was not possible to create standout frames
because Pandoc only supported a specific list of frame attributes thus ignoring
additional attributes such as {.standout}.

metropolis inner theme
A beamer inner theme dictates the style of the frame elements traditionally set
in the “body” of each slide. These include:
• title, part, and section pages;
• itemize, enumerate, and description environments;
• block environments including theorems and proofs;
• figures and tables; and
• footnotes and plain text.

Normal people should use \maketitle or \titlepage instead of using the

but we patch them here to make the title page [plain] by default, remove
\@thanks, and ensure the title frame number doesn’t count.

The above code assumes that \insertframenumber is less than or equal to
\inserttotalframenumber. However, this is not true on the first compile; in
the absence of an .aux file, \inserttotalframenumber defaults to 1. This
behaviour could cause fatal errors for long presentations, as \metropolis@progressonsectionpage
would exceed TEX’s maximum length (16383.99999pt, roughly 5.75 metres or 18.9
feet). To avoid this, we increase the default value for \inserttotalframenumber;
presentations with over 4000 slides will still break on first compile, but users in
24
that situation likely have deeper problems to solve.
251 \def\inserttotalframenumber{100}
8.2.5
Block environments
block
The three different block environments differ only in their colours. Rather than
block alerted
repeat the essentially the same template three times, we use the auxiliary macro
\metropolis@block to define all three templates.
block example
252 \newlength{\metropolis@blocksep}
253 \newlength{\metropolis@blockadjust}
254 \setlength{\metropolis@blocksep}{0.75ex}
255 \setlength{\metropolis@blockadjust}{0.25ex}
256 \providecommand{\metropolis@strut}{%
257
\vphantom{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz()}%
258 }
259 \newcommand{\metropolis@block}[1]{
260
\par\vskip\medskipamount%
261
\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}
If a background color is defined for the block title or body, we need to add a little
bit of padding to the corresponding box. Ideally, this would be accomplished by
setting colsep=0.75ex, which is intended to add “color separation space” only
when the box has a colored background. Unfortunately, colsep also adds this
separation if the background color is inherited, even if the inherited color is
actually empty. (The technical reason for this boils down to the fact that the
\ifx directive does not expand macros.)
To achieve the correct spacing for alertblocks and exampleblocks as well
as for normal blocks, we have to begin the beamercolorbox differently based
on whether block title has an empty background.
If the block title background is empty, or the user has explicitly removed the
background from (e.g.) block title alerted, we just need to set a rightskip
for a nice ragged-right block title.
262
263
264
\ifbeamercolorempty[bg]{block title#1}{%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[rightskip=0pt plus 4em]{block title#1}}{%
\ifbeamercolorempty[bg]{block title}{%
25
\begin{beamercolorbox}[rightskip=0pt plus 4em]{block title#1}%
265
}%
266
267 %
\end{macrocode}
268 %
269 %
Otherwise, if the |block title| has a background, we set the padding based
270 %
on |\metropolis@blockskip|. However, we have to visually com-
pensate for
271 %
the |\metropolis@strut| added to the block title (see below) by
272 %
subtracting |\metropolis@blockadjust| from the top and bottom padding.
273 %
274 %
\begin{macrocode}
{%
275
\begin{beamercolorbox}[
276
277
sep=\dimexpr\metropolis@blocksep-\metropolis@blockadjust\relax,
278
leftskip=\metropolis@blockadjust,
rightskip=\dimexpr\metropolis@blockadjust plus 4em\relax
279
]{block title#1}%
280
}}%
281
282 %
\end{macrocode}
283 %
284 %
We can now set the contents of the |block title|. The zero-width but
285 %
positive-height box |\metropolis@strut| ensures that the block ti-
tle box
286 %
has a consistent height, even if it lacks punctuation, ascen-
ders, or
287 %
descenders.
288 %
289 %
\begin{macrocode}
290
\usebeamerfont*{block title#1}%
291
\metropolis@strut%
292
\insertblocktitle%
293
\metropolis@strut%
\end{beamercolorbox}%
294
295 %
\end{macrocode}
296 %
297 %
Next, we typeset the |block body|. This the code is similar to, but sim-
pler
298 %
than, the |block title| code since we don’t need to adjust for any struts.
299 %
300 %
\begin{macrocode}
26
301
\nointerlineskip%
302
\ifbeamercolorempty[bg]{block body#1}{%
\begin{beamercolorbox}[vmode]{block body#1}}{
303
\ifbeamercolorempty[bg]{block body}{%
304
\begin{beamercolorbox}[vmode]{block body#1}%
305
}{%
306
307
\begin{beamercolorbox}[sep=\metropolis@blocksep, vmode]{block body#1}%

\vspace{-\metropolis@parskip}
}}%
309
310
\usebeamerfont{block body#1}%
311
\setlength{\parskip}{\metropolis@parskip}%
312 }
This concludes the auxiliary macro \metropolis@block. Finally, we define the
block beamer templates using this macro.
313 \setbeamertemplate{block
begin}{\metropolis@block{}}
314 \setbeamertemplate{block

By default, Beamer frames offer the c option to almost vertically center the
text, but the placement is a little too high. To fix this, we redefine the c option
to equalize \beamer@frametopskip and \beamer@framebottomskip. This
solution was suggested by Enrico Gregorio in an answer to this Stack Exchange
question.
331 \define@key{beamerframe}{c}[true]{%

8.2.9
Standout frames
metropolis offers a custom frame format with large, centered text and an inverted background. To use it, add the key standout to the frame: \begin{frame}[standout] ... \
standout
Optional arguments to Beamer’s frames are implemented using \define@key
from the keyval package, which will execute code when the defined option is
called. For the standout option, we begin a group, change the colors and
fonts, and set a alignment.
338 \providebool{metropolis@standout}
339 \define@key{beamerframe}{standout}[true]{%
340
\booltrue{metropolis@standout}
341
\begingroup
342
\setkeys{beamerframe}{c}

\ifbeamercolorempty[bg]{palette primary}{

347

354
355
\centering
356
\usebeamercolor[fg]{palette primary}
357
\usebeamerfont{standout}
358 }
Then we just have to close the group after the standout slide is finished in
order to restore the colours and fonts for the rest of the presentation.
Unfortunately, we cannot use or this (see
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/226319/). Instead, we add
the \endgroup to \beamer@reseteecodes, which is run exactly once at the
end of each slide.

To make the uppercase and lowercase macros work in the title, subtitle, etc., we
have to patch the appropriate beamer commands that set their values. This
solution was suggested by Enrico Gregorio in an answer to this StackExchange
question.

8.5.5
Derived colors
The titles and structural elements (e.g. itemize bullets) are set in the same
color as normal text. This would ideally done by setting normal text
as a parent style, which we do to set titlelike, but this doesn’t work for
structure as its foreground is set explicitly in beamercolorthemedefault.sty.
811 \setbeamercolor{titlelike}{use=normal

814 \setbeamercolor{institute}{use=normal
text, parent=normal text}
815 \setbeamercolor{structure}{use=normal
text, fg=normal text.fg}
The “primary” palette should be used for the most important navigational elements, and possibly of other elements. metropolis uses it for frame titles and
slides.
816 \setbeamercolor{palette
817
use=normal text,
818

823

824 }
The metropolis inner or outer themes optionally display progress bars in various
locations. Their color is set by progress bar but the two different kinds can
be customized separately. The horizontal rule on the title page is also set based
on the progress bar color and can be customized with title separator.
825 \setbeamercolor{progress
bar}{%
826
use=alerted text,
827
fg=alerted text.fg,
828
bg=alerted text.fg!50!black!30

841 }
Block environments such as theorem and example have no background color
45
by default. The option block=fill sets a background color based on the background and foreground of normal text. The option block=transparent
reverts the block environments to an empty background, which can be useful if
changing colors mid-presentation.

To use these colors, we describe “cycle lists” from which PGF chooses styles for
the different series in a chart.
mbarplot cycle
Colors and styles intended for bar charts with up to 12 series.
892 \pgfplotscreateplotcyclelist{mbarplot
cycle}{%
893
{draw=TolDarkBlue,
fill=TolDarkBlue!70},
894
{draw=TolLightBrown,
fill=TolLightBrown!70},
895
{draw=TolLightGreen,
fill=TolLightGreen!70},
896
{draw=TolDarkPink,

903
{draw=TolLightBlue,
fill=TolLightBlue!70},
904
{draw=TolDarkGreen,
fill=TolDarkGreen!70},
905 }
mlineplot cycle
Colors and styles intended for line charts with up to 4 series.
906 \pgfplotscreateplotcyclelist{mlineplot
cycle}{%
907
{TolDarkBlue, mark=*, mark size=1.5pt},
908
{TolLightBrown, mark=square*, mark size=1.3pt},
909
{TolLightGreen, mark=triangle*, mark size=1.5pt},
910
{TolDarkBrown, mark=diamond*, mark size=1.5pt},
911 }
However, the above cycle lists are not applied automatically. We still need to
define styles — mlineplot and mbarplot — that the user can apply to the axis
of a pgfplots chart to use the colors. We’ll also take the opportunity to adjust
the display of chart axes when these styles are used.

mbarplot
A style to apply to the axis of a PGF bar chart. mbarplot uses vertical bars by
horizontal mbarplot
default, while horizontal mbarplot has horizontal bars as the name implies.
Their shared properties are factored out into the internal style mbarplot base.
