Clean, Simple, Elegant
CleanThesis is a LaTeX style for thesis documents, developed for my diplom thesis (Diplomarbeit). The style can be understood as my personal compromise — a typical clean looking scientific document combined and polished with minor beautifications.
The design of the CleanThesis style is inspired by user guide documents from Apple Inc. (e.g. iMovie '08 or Keynote '09).
If you are looking for an exact and correct style regarding typographic rules, please have a look at the Classic Thesis Style.
Donation = Postcard
Based on the idea of André Miede: If you like the CleanThesis style I would be very pleased about a donation in the form of a POSTCARD. I am going to collect all postcards and exhibit them on this website.
You can find my address in the file Clean-Thesis.pdf inside the style package as well (see Download).
Development
The latest version of CleanThesis is an open beta version which is still in development.
If you have ideas for new features, suggestions for improvements or you encounter errors please report them using the tracker or send an email to issueSpamProtectionStringInEmail[at]cleanthesis.der-ric.de.
If you're an expert regarding TeX and you like to support the CleanThesis project, you're welcome to get in touch with me using github.
Idea and Inspiration
The idea of providing my customized style for thesis documents passed through my mind while writing my own thesis. Motivated and inspired by the superb "Classic Thesis Style" by André Miede (thanks to André for doing a great job) I decided to collect all design and style related functionality in a separate LaTeX style and provide this style to other thesis writers.
