Are there any available themes for moderncv other than classic and casual?
I googled it but no luck.

The current version of moderncv (version 2.3.1 of Feb 21, 2022) has 5 styles (other than the dummy empty one):
and 8 color schemes:
black,blue,burgundy,green,grey,orange,purple, andred.
The themes for moderncv are located in files named moderncvstyle<name>.sty which are loaded by moderncv as sub-packages. In earlier versions they were named moderncvtheme<name>.sty instead, but this got changed (which broke my documents until I figured it out). You must rename existing older custom themes to match the new name in order to be found.
There are only three of these files included with moderncv:
- moderncvstylecasual.sty
- moderncvstyleclassic.sty
- moderncvstyleempty.sty
The empty theme is only minimal and doesn't include a real theme. There are no other files on CTAN which this names nor could I find others with a Google search. There is a possibility to create own themes, but no one seems to have posted one online yet.

Hi Martin, I did with the banking style file that but it can't compile. Any ideas? Jun 22, 2015 at 17:09
There is also the empty theme. You can relatively easily create you own theme, though.
If you are not satisfied with the output of moderncv, I suggest using one of these: http://rpi.edu/dept/arc/training/latex/resumes/

The RPI templates can make very elegant resumes, though they are a little bit harder to use for a LaTeX beginner like me four years ago. Mar 19, 2014 at 16:21
moderncvversions the themes files are named differently and you will have to rename your custom theme files to the new naming scheme. I updated my answer in order to reflect this.
