AlterCV, yet another LaTeX CV/Résumé class

AlterCV is an enhanced version of AltaCV. The original class was written by LianTze Lim (liantze@gmail.com).

It enables some advanced features and new commands, like links (they still have to be set manually) and progressbar style for skills. It is also completely grayscale based (print-ready) by default, except of the photo: colors can be set in the document.

A good idea is to use a boolean to quickly switch between color and b/w version:

\newif\ifcolor
\colortrue % change to \colorfalse to use default colors

...

\ifcolor
    % define here colors (already in sample template)
    \definecolor{Azure}{HTML}{0077FF}
    \colorlet{links}{Azure}
\fi

The full stack of changes can be viewed in the changelog file.

Note that sample images are outdated, but PDF files are not: please refer to them when searching for how the final CV will look like.

This package is currently not available neither in CTAN nor in Overleaf.

Legal disclaimer

In the process of enhancing AltaCV, I chose to rename it only to be able to make my version public. I retained comments about changes between versions of AltaCV, and my changes are in a separate file, as required by the license. Clearly, looking at Git commits is also a good way to detect changes between versions. I also chose to keep the same license, so I simply updated names, giving full credit to the author of the original class: I thank her for the beautiful work she has done.

Here follows the original README from AltaCV.

(Thanks to Nur for the name.)

It all started with this:

Leonardo was talking about a résumé of Marissa Mayer that Business Insider put together using enhancv.com. I knew I had to do something about it. And so AltaCV was born.

Samples

This is how the re-created résumé looks like (view/open on Overleaf):

Though if you're creating your own CV/résumé, you'd probably prefer using the basic template (view/open on Overleaf):

Requirements and Compilation

• pdflatex + biber + pdflatex
• AlterCV and AltaCV use fontawesome and academicons; they're included in both TeX Live 2016 and MikTeX 2.9.
• Loading academicons is optional: enable it by adding the academicons option to \documentclass.
• Can now be compiled with pdflatex, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX!
• However if you're using academicons, you must use either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. If the doc then compiles but the icons don't show up in the output PDF, try compiling with LuaLaTeX instead.
• The samples here use the Lato font.
