\section{Section1}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Slide title}
This template includes a light and a dark theme, as well as an option to remove the UoY logo from the background. Options:
\begin{description}
\item[uoybglogo] To place a watermark version of the University of York logo in the background
\item[darktheme] To enable the dark theme
\end{description}
So for having a dark theme and the logo in the background, you'd load the style with
\begin{lstlisting}
\usepackage[uoybglogo,darktheme]{uoy-beamer}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Slide title}
You may need to add some space after the frame title
\begin{lstlisting}
\setlength{\frametitlemargin}{10mm}
\end{lstlisting}
\pause
\vskip 3mm
Using an empty frametitle or not using it, you will need to add initial space by yourself.
To have an ``empty'' frametitle you can use
\begin{lstlisting}
\emptyframetitle
\end{lstlisting}
\pause
or (more portable)
\begin{lstlisting}
\frametitle{\strut}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}
\subsubsection{Section1-2-1}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\noframetitle
If you do not want any titles in a frame, you can use
\begin{lstlisting}
\noframetitle
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\noframetitle[0mm]
Using
\begin{lstlisting}
\noframetitle[0mm]
\end{lstlisting}
\vskip 5mm
As above, you may want to use the same command with a length to specify where (vertically) the text should begin.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\framesingletitle{Single title}
If you need just a simple title you can use
\begin{lstlisting}
\framesingletitle{your title}
\end{lstlisting}
\vskip 5mm
You may want to use the same command with a length to specify where (vertically) the title should begin.
\begin{lstlisting}
\framesingletitle[0mm]{your title}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}
\subsection{Section1-1}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Blocks}
\begin{block}{Additional blocks}
\begin{itemize}
\item termblock
\item problock
\item conblock
\item yellowblock
\item blueblock
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
Transparency of blocks may not look very nice on dark backgrounds, to disable it:
\begin{lstlisting}
\setblockbodyopacity{1}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}
