I am making a poster with tikzposter and have chosen the Desert
theme. However I find the graded colors of the block titles annoying and would like to just have the color instead.
However I can't seem to get rid of that. When I change the color using \colorlet{blocktitlebgcolor}{green}
the color is changed, but the grading is still there.
(I hope grading is the right word, I mean the effect that the color changes to grey across the block title)
Minimal working example:
\documentclass[a0paper]{tikzposter}
\usepackage{helvet}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
\usetheme{Desert}
\title{Title}
\author{authors}
\institute{institute}
\usepackage{url,lipsum}
\definetitlestyle{sampletitle}{
width=\paperwidth, roundedcorners=10, linewidth=2pt, innersep=5pt,
titletotopverticalspace=0mm, titletoblockverticalspace=30mm
}{
\begin{scope}[line width=\titlelinewidth, rounded corners=\titleroundedcorners]
\draw[color=blocktitlebgcolor, fill=titlebgcolor]
(\titleposleft,\titleposbottom) rectangle (\titleposright,\titlepostop);
\end{scope}
}
