New theme Focus

[rodrigoalcarazdelaosa]

Just saw this in CTAN: https://ctan.org/pkg/beamertheme-focus Seems very similar to Metropolis, yet I haven't found any single reference to it. The source code for it is in GitHub as well (https://github.com/elauksap/focus-beamertheme).

Just took a look on the sources.
Focus’ implementation is completely different from metropolis’ (for example, while metropolis’ is building frames the ‘elegant’ way using beamer environments like beamercolorbox, Focus takes the sledgehammer of \tikz[remember picture, overlay]).

On the other hand, Focus indeed looks somewhat similar to metropolis. However, this could also be obtained using beamer’s default inner/outer theme together with another color theme:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usecolortheme{orchid,whale}
\begin{document}
  \begin{frame}{Lorem Ipsum}
    \lipsum[1]
  \end{frame}
\end{document}

Therefore, Focus is (in my opinion) based on basic beamer stuff rather than metropolis.
