The theme can be made less dominant by using a different color theme.

By default, the current entry of the table of contents in the sidebar will be highlighted by using a more vibrant color. A good alternative is to highlight the current entry by using a different color for the background of the current point.

This theme is useful for long talks like lectures that require a table of contents to be visible all the time.

The following ⟨options⟩ may be given:
