In summary, the conversation is about finding good layout templates for a thesis. The speaker mentions using a prehistorically old template but is not satisfied with its look. They also mention using their own template based on various packages. The possibility of the university or institution providing a class for thesis layout is also mentioned.

I know one the most common threads here are latex related, but would anyone have any good layout templates that they personally thought looked good or something they've come across?

I'm toying with a prehistorically old template for my thesis and I'm not liking the look of it. Any help?

I wrote my own based on scrbook, using fancyhdr for the footings/headings, the geometry package for the page layout, hyperref for some inter-document linking and charter for the font (though several other packages, such as palatino and newcent are readily available).

Also note, your university / institution may have certain demands about the layout and formatting of your thesis, and may even provide a class you can start from.

I am familiar with the use of Latex in academic writing and I understand the importance of having a visually appealing layout for a thesis or research paper. While I cannot recommend a specific template, there are many resources available online for finding high-quality Latex templates. I suggest searching for templates on reputable academic websites or forums, as well as looking at the templates provided by your university or department. It may also be helpful to consult with your advisor or peers who have successfully used Latex for their own academic work. Ultimately, the best template for your thesis will depend on your personal preferences and the requirements of your institution. I encourage you to explore different options and choose one that suits your needs and enhances the presentation of your research.
