My custom Marp themes

Marp is used to create presentations in Markdown. In this repository, you may find simple CSS themes that I have created. Namely:

beam

• inspired by / based on LaTeX's beamer class

• download the Computer Modern Unicode font family for best results

• follow the tutorial to change the primary colors

• more screenshots on the community themes website

Download the CSS file:

border

• based on the default Marp theme

• find more screenshots on the community themes website

• note that the theme imports a font from Google Fonts (see Privacy notice below)

Installation

Assuming you're using the VSCode Marp extension…

1. Open Settings in VSCode (Ctrl + ,)
2. Search for "Marp: Themes" or "markdown.marp.themes"
3. Add either a local (on your computer) or a remote path to the CSS file
   • Links: please, consider forking the repository and hosting the CSS files using, for example, GitHub Pages (related Stack Overflow discussion) instead of linking to the raw file on GitHub (refer to GitHub's blogpost for more info)
4. Enable the theme in the front-matter of the Markdown document, i.e., write the following at the very beginning of the Markdown document:

---
marp: true
theme: theme_name
---

5. Try restaring VSCode if it doesn't work right away

For additional settings (such as size or paginate), follow the official documentation.
