Theme
The default theme is Crimson: Harvard crimson accents, white background, branded footer. All decks share a common API (\mlsystitle, \mlsysfocus, \mlsyscard, etc.).
Adopting instructors who want a different look can create their own variant by copying beamerthememlsys.sty and adjusting the color definitions. The API stays the same, so no .tex files need to change.
