I would like to use the owl color theme (https://github.com/rchurchley/beamercolortheme-owl) in my LaTeX beamer presentation. I am new to both LaTeX and beamer and have a new Miktex installation. I am on Windows 7.
I am trying to follow the instructions here: https://github.com/rchurchley/beamercolortheme-owl/blob/master/README.md
When I try to compile beamercolorthemeowl.ins in TexStudio, I get an error: Could not start Default Complier:PdfLaTeX: pdflatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode "beamercolorthemeowl".tex.
I can compile other files in TexStudio. That is my beamer presentation compiles with the default theme.
When I try to compile beamercolorthemeowl.ins in TeXworks, I get a message in the 'Console output' that says:
)
Generating file(s) ./beamercolorthemeowl.sty ! Cannot find file beamercolorthemeowl.dtx. \readsource ...ot find file \uptospace #1 \qStop } \else \processedLines \z@ ... l.41 } ?
and the program is just busy for ages and ages and nothing happens.
The file beamercolorthemeowl.dtx is sitting in the same directory as beamercolorthemeowl.ins, so I don't understand why it cannot find it.
Any suggestions on what to do next?
Texstudio tries to be clever and adds some incorrect file type. Running latex beamercolorthemeowl.ins directly will generate the following file beamercolorthemeowl.sty:
%%
%% This is file `beamercolorthemeowl.sty',
%% generated with the docstrip utility.

%% The original source files were:

%% beamercolorthemeowl.dtx (with options: `package')
