Hello, I have completed .emacs with the indications found here (http://emacs-fu.blogspot.com/2009/10/writing-presentations-with-org-mode-and.html), and I modified it : ;; Utilisation de la classe beamer ;; #+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer in org files (unless (boundp 'org-export-latex-classes)   (setq org-export-latex-classes nil)) (add-to-list 'org-export-latex-classes   ;; beamer class, for presentations   '("beamer"      "\\documentclass[11pt,french]{beamer}\n       \\mode<{{{beamermode}}}>\n       \\setbeameroption{show notes}       \\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}\n       \\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}\n \\\usepackage{babel} \\\usetheme{keynote-gradient} \\\usepackage{beamerthemesplit} \\\usepackage{csquotes}       \\usepackage{hyperref}\n       \\usepackage{color}       \\usepackage{listings}       \\lstset{numbers=none,language=[ISO]C++,tabsize=4,   frame=single,   basicstyle=\\small,   showspaces=false,showstringspaces=false,   showtabs=false,   keywordstyle=\\color{blue}\\bfseries,   commentstyle=\\color{red},   }\n       \\usepackage{verbatim}\n       \\institute{{{{beamerinstitute}}}}\n        \\subject{{{{beamersubject}}}}\n"      ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")      ("\\begin{frame}[fragile]\\frametitle{%s}"        "\\end{frame}"        "\\begin{frame}[fragile]\\frametitle{%s}"        "\\end{frame}"))) The modifications concerned the French language and the use of a personal theme (adapted from an original model), stored in the following folder: home/MySelf/texmf/tex. Here is an example of a recent work (preambule only) : #+TITLE: title #+DATE: today #+AUTHOR: myself #+STARTUP: beamer #+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer #+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [bigger] #+BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL: 2 #+OPTIONS: toc:nil And the frames... When I work with Texstudio (my theme is called in this form: \usepackage{keynote-gradient}*), no problem: the theme is perfectly recognized. But not with org-mode. Please, how can I get my theme recognized? Thank you very much for your advice, Frédéric * In org-mode, \usetheme{keynote-gradient}ou \usepackage{keynote-gradient}have the same effects : nothing.
