+## New Usher Institute theme for LaTeX/beamer presentations.
+
+### Usage:
+
+Extract the contents of this archive to a directory in your $TEXINPUTS
+path.
+
+In your beamer source file, state `\usetheme{UsherNew}` in the
+preamble. There are three different colour scheme variations:
+
+- `\usetheme[colour=USHERorange]{UsherNew}`: the default colour scheme,
+
+- `\usetheme[colour=USHERgreen]{UsherNew}` and
+
+- `\usetheme[colour=USHERblue]{UsherNew}`
+
+### Basic example:
+
+```TeX
+\documentclass{beamer}
+%% this is the default orange theme; options USHERgreen and USHERblue
+%% are also available
+\usetheme{UsherNew}
+
+\title[Short Title]{A Long and verbose title}
+\subtitle{and a sub-title}
+\author{Dr Benway}
+\institute{The Mental Institute}
+\date{Feb 1935}
+
+\begin{document}
+
+\maketitle
+
+\begin{frame}{Words of Advice for Young People}
+\label{sec:Advice}
+People often ask me if I have any words of
+ \alert{advice} for young people... \\[2ex] \pause
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item<1-> \alert{Never} interfere in a \alert{boy-and-girl} fight
+ \item<2-> Any \alert{old soul} is worth saving\\
+ \uncover<3->{at \alert{least to} a priest},
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item<4-> But \alert{not} every soul is \alert{worth buying}.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item<5-> ...
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{Conclusions}
+\label{sec:what?}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item<2-> What \alert{are} we doing here?
+ \item<4-> What?
+ \item<2-> Answers:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item<3-> We are here \alert{to go}.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+\end{document}
+```
+
+See also `sample.tex` for a basic presentation.
+
+### Notes
+
+If you use [pdf-presenter-console](https://pdfpc.github.io/), a
+presenter console with multi-monitor support for PDF files, try
+`\usepackage{beamernotes}` and enter your notes as in
+
+```Tex
+\bnote{my notes}
+```
+
+*after* the `frame` you want to annotate.
+
+The contents will generate a filename.pdfpc file containing
+all notes to be shown by pdfpc.
+
+
+Enjoy.
