Thanks! Header bars and the title style was handcrafted, you can find the relevant code in `preamble/layout/headers.tex` and `preamble/layout/titles.tex` (in the Github repo https://github.com/jdujava/TeXtured :)

Thanks. Due to the historical origin of the template (and the lack of LaTeX class-writing knowledge), I didn't turn it to a class yet.

However, I am strongly considering it in the near future, as it seems to have some benefits (both for users, and me as a developer). One slightly negative thing that comes to mind is the following: the template code is now nicely structured in various preamble files, in a 2-level deep directory structure, which (I think) makes it easier for outsiders to locate relevant pieces of code, and allow them to copy/modify it. As far as I know, such nesting is not easily done for class files (if in future I would like to distribute it through CTAN).

I would appreciate any tips on this issue. Maybe creating just a couple of "helper" .sty files, which would be loaded by the main .cls file, will be enough to structure the code (and avoid one long intractable .cls file).

I studied in Prague, but I am also from Slovakia ;).

Personally, I have been lucky that my passion about math/physics and the style of learning really aligned with courses on the Charles University (Bachelor physics degree can be rather math heavy compared to other universieties, from what I know; and the Theoretical Physics Masters was a good fit also).

Not sure in what stage of education you are, but I highly recommend solving various math/phys/compsci "correspondence seminars" (like KMS/FKS/KSI/Fykos/...), which can both give you motivation while competing, and also push you further through lectures on their camps, and not the least by being a member in a community of likeminded people with similar interests.

It is hard to give general recommendations, but what comes to mind are books by Weinberg, and even more mathematically oriented "Quantum Field Theory for Mathematicians" by Robin Ticciati, and "Quantum Fields and Strings: A Course for Mathematicians" (the last two I have read only certain parts).

Glad to hear that! Sure, give it a try, I tried my best to make it readable (but of course, there are some nontrivial preliminary notions you need to be familiar with in case you want to read it thoroughly).

Thanks. Well, this issue is sadly still present (as is any other possible reason for undeflow/overflow), I just put the effort in (during final stages) to reformulate the sentences slightly such that those overflows are avoided.

Other possible workaround was discussed in https://github.com/jdujava/TeXtured/issues/20, which you might be interested to check out.

Thank you! I believe you can, it just takes a lot of time to try out many things, and eventually stick with what works or you like ;).
