**My question**
Use pgfkeys to map a `logo` and `tcolorbox` format.
([this answer's](https://topanswers.xyz/tex?q=1638) little cousin I believe)
**Context**
I got bored with the basic block/alertblock. They're too generic and I needed to connect more the content and the meaning.
For that, I tried the `tcolorboxes` with (`fontawesome`) logo.
Casual `\begin{alertblock}` above and `\begin{important}` below, as defined in :
```
\newtcolorbox{important}[1][]{
enhanced,
arc=5mm,
drop lifted shadow=blue!50,
colback=orange!20,
colframe=red!20,
detach title,
overlay unbroken and first ={
\node[red,anchor=north east,scale=1.4]
at (frame.north west) {\faExclamationTriangle};
}
}
```
The logo on the side has the obvious advantage to take less space than a standard beamerbox with just a logo (and so much empty space), and also explains more visually the reason of the alert.
My students reacted very positively to presentations with more flags.
**More flags for more context**
`alertblock` is too generic. The "alert" could be more meaningful.
- It can mean "be careful"
- it's an important date
- as much as "tip for a fomula"
- as much as "important idea"
- or important formula
...
**My question more precisely**
I'd like the logo to inherit the color of the environment based on a key that I intend to make grow over time.
List of keys I have in mind with their corresponding fontawesome logo
theme key mapping logo
question [question] \faQuestionCircle
internet link [net] \faLink
idea [idea] \faLightbulbO
formula [formula] \faFlask
...
I tested the ideas on 2 environments
- `important` is the new `alertblock`
- `information` is a more... informational than alert
information is a an almost copy cat of important but in blue (no innovation here...)
```
\newtcolorbox{information}[1][]{
enhanced,
arc=5mm,
drop lifted shadow=myuniversity!50,
colback=blue!5,
colframe=blue!15,
leftrule=0mm,%
detach title,
overlay unbroken and first ={
\node[myuniversity,anchor=north east,scale=1.3]
at (frame.north west) {\faInfoCircle};%
}
}
```
**Example of cross between `env` and `logo key`**
`\begin{information}[question]` %\faQuestionCircle
`\begin{important}[question]` %\faQuestionCircle
`\begin{information}[net]` %\faLink
`\begin{information}[idea]` %\faLightbulbO
`\begin{important}[idea]` %\faLightbulbO
`\begin{important}[formula]` %\faFlask
`\begin{information}[job]` %\faLinkedinSquare
NB : The discussions today about colorblinbness made me think of my own beamer presentations. A little logo could help.
MWE
```
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz,tcolorbox}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes,calc}
\usepackage{fontawesome}
\tcbuselibrary{skins}
\usecolortheme{crane}
\newtcolorbox{information}[1][]{
enhanced,
arc=5mm,
drop lifted shadow=blue!50,
colback=blue!5,
colframe=white,
leftrule=0mm,%
detach title,
overlay unbroken and first ={
\node[blue,anchor=north east,scale=1.3]
at (frame.north west) {\faInfoCircle};
}
}
\newtcolorbox{important}[1][]{
enhanced,
arc=5mm,
drop lifted shadow=red!50,
colback=red!5,
colframe=white,
leftrule=0mm,%
detach title,
overlay unbroken and first ={
\node[red,anchor=north east,scale=1.3]
at (frame.north west) {\faInfoCircle};
}
}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{alertblock}{\faInfoCircle}
\textit{If $_{\chi PP}(M)=2$ a haplotype matrix M we can find an optimal pp-partition in polynomial time}
\end{alertblock}
\begin{important}%[information]
\textit{If $_{\chi PP}(M)=2$ a haplotype matrix M we can find an optimal pp-partition in polynomial time}
\end{important}
\end{frame}
% you'll notice the tcolorbox is a bit shorter, i'd like to have it as wide as the alertblock
\begin{frame}
\begin{information}%[formula]
\textit{If $_{\chi PP}(M)=2$ a haplotype matrix M we can find an optimal pp-partition in polynomial time}
\end{information}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
