Hi all, I'm using the fancyhdr package to get headers on each page of my document. I've successfully created the headers but I am unable to highlight the headers. I want to highlight the headers as shown in attached picture or on second page of this pdf file:

Any help will be highly appreciated.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Load fancyhdr and color. Then add to the preamble something like:

Code: Select all

\definecolor{LightGray}{gray}{0.8}
\newcommand{\BigBox}[2][c]{\makebox[\dimexpr\textwidth-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule][#1]{#2}}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[C]{\addtolength{\fboxsep}{5pt}%
   \colorbox{LightGray}{\BigBox{\sffamily Proceedings ISARS 1998 Vienna}}}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}

You will surely need to increase the value of \headheight, for example:

Code: Select all

\addtolength{\headheight}{15pt}

Hi Juanjo,
Thanks a lot. It worked after slight modifications.
