Create Dark Resume with LaTeX | Generated by AI

Home 2025.08

To support building a resume-en-dark.pdf using your awesome-cv-dark.cls, you’ll need to:

✅ 1. Create a new LaTeX source file for the dark version

Duplicate your existing resume-en.tex into a new file that uses the dark theme class:

latex/en/resume-en-dark.tex

%-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
% CONFIGURATIONS
%-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\documentclass[11pt, a4paper]{../awesome-cv-dark} % Use dark version here

% Configure page margins
\geometry{left=1.4cm, top=.8cm, right=1.4cm, bottom=1.8cm, footskip=.5cm}

% Color for highlights
\colorlet{awesome}{awesome-red}

% Set section highlight
\setbool{acvSectionColorHighlight}{true}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\usepackage{ifthen}

% Include the actual resume content (same as your normal version)
\input{resume-en-content.tex}

✅ You can reuse your existing resume-en-content.tex to avoid duplication, or copy/paste from resume-en.tex.

✅ 2. Update the Makefile

Add a new rule in your Makefile for building resume-en-dark.pdf.

Find this part in the Makefile:

latex: $(foreach x, coverletter coverletter-zh resume-zh resume, $x.pdf)

Modify it to include the dark resume:

latex: $(foreach x, coverletter coverletter-zh resume-zh resume resume-en-dark, $x.pdf)

Then add the build rule:

resume-en-dark.pdf: $(RESUME_EN_DIR)/resume-en-dark.tex $(RESUME_SRCS)
	$(CC) -output-directory=$(RESUME_EN_DIR) $<

🔁 If you keep all assets in the same folder (latex/en/resume-en/), you don’t need to update RESUME_SRCS.

✅ 3. Optional: Add to copy target

If you want to copy the generated file to assets/resume, update copy:

	cp $(RESUME_EN_DIR)/resume-en-dark.pdf assets/resume/Zhiwei.Li.Resume.Dark.pdf

✅ 4. Build it

Now you can just run:

make resume-en-dark.pdf

Let me know if your content is shared across themes and you want a smarter structure using shared .tex files like resume-en-content.tex.
