General ⇒ Color-Headlines

[Aurora]

hi there,

I want to change the color of my headlines. Are there any packages or do I have to renew some commands?

Hope you could me.

What exactly do you mean with headlines?

[Aurora]

I mean things like \chapter, \section ... and the headline of the tabe of contents.

Try the packages titlesec and titletoc. These packages let you customize the headings.

thanks for this links. But I didn't find help on how to color the headlines in there.

Slightly modify the default \titleformat command with the color package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\definecolor{webgreen}{rgb}{0,0.75,0}
\definecolor{webred}{rgb}{0.75,0,0}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
{\color{webred}\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{\chaptertitlename\
\thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}

\titleformat{\section}
{\color{webgreen}\normalfont\Large\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}

\begin{document}

\chapter{A chapter}
\section{A section}

\blindtext

Thank you very very much.
It works like expected.

The only thing is that the headlines now needs more space than before.
Is there an option where I can set the vertical padding of the headlines?

[gmedina]

Yes, there is. Read the documentation of the packages that localghost suggested.

Hi,

There is a related topic called "Color-headlines" but i changed the title because it was not describing the issue properly (to my taste).

The issue is: how to get the section, subsection, subsubsection and paragraph headings to be blue.

One of the solutions what was suggested was to use the titletoc package. My problem is that I use minitoc to get a toc at each chapter, and it's incompatible with titlesec/titletoc packages...

On the web, someone suggested to have a .sty file with a fancy latex command containing @ and #6 etc.
Is there a more straightforward solution ?
I use TexnicCenter on Windows.

Thanks,
Marie.

Hi Marie,

in my opinion it would be better to open a new topic instead of capturing an very old topic.
But now we are here.

If you use KOMA-Script the solution could be very simple, just one line:

Code: Select all

\addtokomafont{sectioning}{\color{blue}}

But if not then my first idea would the fancy thing you mentioned. I think with @ and #6 you mean \@startsection. You don't need a sty file, you could redefine it in your preamble.
