Document Classes ⇒ Colored chapter titles

[tweeg]

Hey,

I made my section titles into blue using this in my sty file:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

1
2
3

\definecolor{bl}{rgb}{0,0.2,0.6}
\let\LaTeX@startsection\@startsection 
\renewcommand{\@startsection}[6]{\LaTeX@startsection%
{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{\color{bl}\raggedright #6}}

But now, everything is blue except my chapter titles, im not to good at latex, so does anyone know how to color these also ? I use the color package ofc.

\renewcommand{\@startsection}[6]{\LaTeX@startsection%
{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{\color{bl}\raggedright #6}}

I'm getting blue section titles and black text.

Im soooo stupid, i just edited my text I ment chapter titles, not section titels, the code i showed works fine for section titles.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Ah, after the edit I understand. \chapter is not using \@startsection, you could redefine \@makechapterhead and \@makeschapterhead or consider to use the titlesec package.

Stefan

Im a total noob when it comes to this i got the code for the section from someone else, how do i redefine the \@makechapterhead and \@makeschapterhead to change the colour ?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

You can get the original code directly from the source of your document class. Which class do you use?

Just take the original code from report.cls, redefine it while including \color{bl}:
