\begin{frame}[fragile]{\texttt{\textbackslash accent} Usage}
This theme comes with a custom command called \texttt{\textbackslash accent}, which, by default, behaves exactly like \texttt{\textbackslash alert}. However, additionally, one of the theme's colours can be specified as an option to allow for easy highlighting in colours besides the default one.
\begin{table}[]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{c|c}
\hline
\accent{highlighted} & \verb|\accent{highlighted}| \\
\accent[lightblue]{highlighted} & \verb|\accent[lightblue]{highlighted}| \\
\accent[midblue]{highlighted} & \verb|\accent[midblue]{highlighted}| \\
\accent[darkblue]{highlighted} & \verb|\accent[darkblue]{highlighted}| \\
\accent[red]{highlighted} & \verb|\accent[red]{highlighted}| \\
\accent[lightgreen]{highlighted} & \verb|\accent[lightgreen]{highlighted}| \\

\begin{frame}[fragile]{Listings Template}
Various styles have been provided with this theme for external tools. See the \texttt{styles} folder for external library and application styles. LaTeX-related styles have been added to \texttt{beamerthemelu.sty}. As an example, take the following code listing to which the Listings style \texttt{lu} has been applied.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=python, style=lu]
print('Hello world!') # An example of Hello World in Python
\end{lstlisting}

This template reverses the colour usage. It could, for example, be used to review or recap information or draw special attention to a particular aspect.
