I am looking to create a customized poster theme based on the following template:
So far I have been able to successfully customize the color and title styles (See below).
\documentclass[25pt, a0paper, portrait, margin=0mm, innermargin=25mm,
blockverticalspace=15mm, colspace=15mm, subcolspace=8mm]{tikzposter}
\makeatletter
\def\title#1{\gdef\@title{\scalebox{\TP@titletextscale}{%

\centering
#1
\par
\end{minipage}%
}}}
\makeatother

\title{Mobile C-arm Deformation and its implication on Stereoscopic Localization}
\author{Maximilian Neidhardt, Omer Rajput*, Daniel Drömann and Alexander Schlaefer}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\block{Medical background}{
\begin{multicols*}{3}
Accurate localization in minimally invasive procedures is challenging, particularly in the presence of non-ideal imaging systems. Mobile C-arms present a widely guidance, e.g., during bronchoscopy. However, the localization accuracy is susceptible to non-idealities like gravitational deformation of the C-arm gantry. We present a simulation study of the effects of the deformation on the external tracking of the gantry pose and the marker based pose estimation from within the X-ray images.
\end{multicols*}

\block{Methods and materials}{
\begin{multicols*}{3}
\textbf{C-arm pose estimation:} We compare two approaches for the C-arm pose estimation. First, the C-arm gantry is tracked externally using an optical camera. Second, a stationary rigid marker system of a known geometry and the corresponding X-ray images are system relative to the C-arm by the POSIT algorithm.
\textbf{Target Localization:} After the relative transformation between two poses of the C-arm gantry is known, the target (e.g., a tool position) can be reconstructed in 3D by using the two X-ray images acquired at these two poses. For an ideal system, it is straight-forward to estimate the target in 3D space by triangulation (Fig. 1a). However in the presence of non-idealities, the selection of reference frame for triangulation becomes crucial.
\textbf{Deformation analysis:} For our analysis, we use a C-arm model based on a clinical system (BV Endura, Philips Medical Systems - Fig. 1b). The deformation of the model due to the gravitational force is analyzed by using the finite element method (FEM).

However, customizing the block title style is tricky. I would like to ask if there is a way to know the width of the block title text, in order to create a line starting from the end of the block title text.
