Usage

The LaTeX engine for color-cv is LuaLaTeX. It can also work with XeLaTeX if you only use the font libertine (default) or lmodern.

color-cv.tex is an example CV of Wuqiong Zhao, which can be used as a template for your own CV.

Contact Information

The contact information can be optionally included in the CV, including:

• Phone (\phone)
• Email (\email)
• Website (\website)
• LinkedIn (\linkedin)
• Photo (\photo)

You can also set a brief introduction about yourself using \brief.

Customization

Paper Size

By default, the paper size is set to US Letter. Use option paper = a4 in the document class to change it to A4 size. For example:

\documentclass[paper = a4]{color-cv}

Colors

The theme color can be easily customized by changing the color definition in the preamble. For example:

\renewcommand \ThemeColor     {brown}
\renewcommand \ThemeColorDark {brown!50!black}
\renewcommand \CiteColor      {blue}

Fonts

By default, the font is set to use the libertine font option. Alternatively, lmodern, times, palatino are available. To use the times font option, which is configured to use TeX Gyre Termes (a Times New Roman fork) as the serif font and TeX Gyre Heros (a Helvetica fork) as the sans-serif font:

\documentclass[font = times]{color-cv}

The mono font is set to use Inconsolata.

Predefined Macros

Some predefined macros are available for you to use:

• \Textbf{<text>}: Bold text and apply the dark theme color.
