Page Layout ⇒ moderncv | bar thickness

[thomas_guest]

Hi all,

I'm writing my cv using moderncv, classic style format.

My problem is that the bars left of any section (as the orange ones here http://be-jo.net/wp-content/uploads/201 ... 40x450.jpg ) are too thick.

Where can I change that? I looked through moderncv.cls and moderncvstyleclassic.sty and didn't find anything.

MWE:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans,ngerman,a4paper]{moderncv} 
\moderncvstyle{classic}

\firstname{First name}
\familyname{last name}

\begin{document}

\section{some section}
\cvitem{stuff}{ok}
\end{document}

Ok, found it, https://answers.launchpad.net/moderncv/+question/190407

moderncvstyleclassic.sty:

Code: Select all

\parbox[t]{\hintscolumnwidth}{\strut\raggedleft\raisebox{\baseletterheight}{\color{color1}\rule{\hintscolumnwidth}{0.95ex}}}%

Now, can I also do this in my .tex file somehow? I don't want to change the sty for every other cv...

The moderncv class uses the etoolbox package, which provides the \patchcmd macro. So you can patch the \section command quite easily in the preamble.

Code: Select all

\patchcmd{\section}{0.95ex}{0.5ex}{}{}

This reduces the thickness exemplarily from 0.95ex to 0.5ex.

And by the way, X-post are not welcome at all.
