\section{Fonts and layout}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{This is the frame title}
\framesubtitle{With optional frame subtitle}
Regular text in the body of the slide is black and rendered in Helvetica sans-serif.\\[.5cm]
Helvetica has no corresponding math font.
Therefore, equations are typeset in Computer Modern sans-serif and are also displayed in plain black:
\begin{equation*}
F(x|\mu,s) = \int_{-\infty}^x s^{-1}\left(1+e^{-\frac{v-\mu}{s}}\right)^{-2} e^{-\frac{v-\mu}{s}}\;\mathsf{d}v = \frac{1}{1+e^{-\frac{x-\mu}{s}}}
\end{equation*}
Emphasis can be added by using \textbf{bold} typeface, \textit{italic}, {\color{ugent-alert}colors} or {\color{ugent-alert}\textbf{\textit{any combination}}}.\\
More about colors follows later.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{The frame title is rendered in Small Caps}
The official UGent Powerpoint/Keynote templates have all titles in both ALL CAPS, \textbf{bold} and \underline{underline}.\\[.5cm]
In my opinion, this combination is somewhat \underline{\textbf{AGGRESSIVE AND UNPLEASANT TO THE EYE}}.\\[.5cm]
Instead, this theme makes use of \textsc{Small Caps} for all titles and subtitles

\section{Lists and enumeration}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Lists of items}
This is how a list of unnumbered items looks:
\begin{itemize}
\item Item 1
\item Item 2
\item Item 3
\end{itemize}
\vspace{.25cm}
Nested lists of items are possible too:
\begin{itemize}
\item Item 1
\begin{itemize}
\item Subitem a
\item Subitem b
\end{itemize}
\item Item 2
\begin{itemize}
\item Subitem a
\item Subitem b
\end{itemize}

\frametitle{Colors}
\begin{itemize}
\item The offical UGent colors (in RGB) are part of the theme.
\item The primary UGent color is {\color{ugentblue} ugentblue}, and the secondary color is {\color{ugentyellow} ugentyellow}.
\item The faculty specific UGent themes can use the faculty color as secondary color.
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[t]{.35\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item {\color{ugentblue} \textbf{ugentblue}}
\item {\color{ugentyellow}\textbf{ugentyellow}}

\item {\color{ugent-ps} \textbf{ugent-ps}}

\frametitle{More about colors}
\begin{itemize}
\itemsep.25cm
\item The main colors of the presentation are ugentblue, black and white.
\item The secondary color should only be used exceptionally.
\item The theme defines a special color \texttt{ugent-alert}.
\item This color is \emph{or} {\color{ugentyellow}ugentyellow} \emph{or} the faculty color.
\item The special color \texttt{ugent-alert} equals the faculty color:
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{if} the faculty specific template is used
\item \textbf{and if} the option \texttt{usecolors} is set
\end{itemize}
\item In all other cases \texttt{ugent-alert} is {\color{ugentyellow}ugentyellow}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\frametitle{Example of ugent-alert}
\begin{theorem}
There is no largest prime number.
\end{theorem}
\pause
\begin{block}{Proof}
\begin{enumerate}
\item<2-| alert@2> Suppose $p$ were the largest prime number.
\item<3-| alert@3> Let $q$ be the product of the first $p$ numbers.
\item<4-| alert@4> Then $q+1$ is not divisible by any of them.
\item<5-6| alert@5> But $q + 1$ is greater than $1$, thus divisible by some prime number not in the first $p$ numbers.\only<6>\qed
\end{enumerate}
\end{block}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Another example of ugent-alert}
Blocks can be created for definition, proofs, examples, etc.
\begin{block}{Regular block}
This is an important message.
\end{block}
\vspace{.5cm}
\pause
A special kind of block is the \texttt{alertblock}:
\begin{alertblock}{Alert!}
This is a very important message.
\end{alertblock}

\section{Frame numbers}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Frame numbers}
\begin{itemize}
\itemsep.25cm
\item By default frame numbers are places on every ``regular'' frame.
\item That excludes logoframes, titleframes and sectionframes.
\item The frame number is always followed by the total number of frames.
\item The theme option \texttt{noframenumber} removes frame numbers on all slides.
\end{itemize}
