I am sorry for the silly question, but I am new to TexShop and new to Mac as well. However, I have been looking for a solution in the last two days between the documentation .pdf and various forums. This is my last option before going back to PowerPoint.

I have installed TexShop (v. 3.15) from the TUG website three days ago. I want to use a Beamer theme realized by a student from my university. It consists of three files, an outer.sty, a colorUni.sty and a themeUni.sty. As I understood, these files have to put in the proper folder.

I think the right location should be this one for the three files:

/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/color/beamercolorUni.sty
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/outer/beamerouterUni.sty
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/theme/beamerthemeUni.sty

(I put the real name of the files here). Differently from MikTex, I should not update the file database, right?(How do I add a .sty file to my MacTeX/TeXShop installation?)

So, I just open my presentation and call the new theme:

\documentclass{beamer}
\mode<presentation>
{
 \usetheme{Uni}
}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

%title page blablabla
\begin{document}

However, I get this message:

(/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/font/beamerfontthem
edefault.sty)
(/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/color/beamercolorth
emedefault.sty)
(/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/inner/beamerinnerth
emedefault.sty)
(/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/outer/beamerouterth
emedefault.sty)))


! LaTeX Error: File `beamerthemeUni.sty' not found.
Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)
Enter file name:

If I enter again the path with the .sty files, it repeats the same message; if I hit return it gives the presentation with the standard theme.

What do I do wrong?

I use exactly the same preamble than yours, but I think you must have your files in a directory with you theme name for each .sty

/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/color/Uni/beamercolorUni.sty
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/outer/Uni/beamerouterUni.sty
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/themes/theme/Uni/beamerthemeUni.sty

That is what I have on my system.
