Customizing the urislides Header and Footer

There are four commands that can be used to change the appearance of the header and footer bars as well as the logo. They must appear before to \begin{document} to take affect. They are:

  • \sitename{newsitename} This command will change the site name on the bottom bar from "University of Rhode Island" to some other text. If no site name is specified, as in \sitename{}, there wil be no sitename, and the footer will be solid like the header bar.
  • \newlogo{newlogofile}[width] This command will change the graphics file that is used for the logo. An optional width can be specified if the default of 0.75 inches is not desired. \newlogo{} will cause no logo to be displayed.
  • \barcolor{newbarcolor} Set the color of the bars to newbarcolor.
  • \sitenamecolor{newsitenamecolor} Set the color of the site name in the footer bar to newsitenamecolor.

As an example, the following two slides are identical except the second contains the commands:

  \sitename{URI Dept.~of Electrical Engineering}
  \newlogo{uriseal.eps}
  \sitenamecolor{red}
  \barcolor{green}
