Page Layout ⇒ Fancy headers - get rid of box in ToC / list of figures

[ntsekhs]

Hi,

anyone that has an idea how to get rid of the box in Table of Contents / List of Figures? I need it only for the chapters but not before. I use PDFLatex for compilation. Thanks

Try using another page style (redefined fancy style or maybe simply using plain style) for that part of document. Try putting \pagestyle{plain} before \tableofcontents, and put \pagestyle{fancy} after it, if TOC is at the beginning of the document. If it is on the end, then just put \pagestyle{plain} before it. As I said, you may use redefind fancy style instead of plain if you like.

\pagestyle{empty} and \pagestyle{plain} didn't work.
I tried also the mods as proposed in http://www.kronto.org/thesis/thesis/
but without success.

any more ideas?

It's impossible to know how to remove this without knowing what's creating it to begin with. Please provide a minimal working example showing the problem.

you are right. I included a link on the previous message but not clearly. Here is a minimal version.

thanks for any help

A fragment of code from fncychapleo.sty (with the addition of \ChRuleWidth{0.5pt} which is also present in it, but not inside this fragment):

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\DOTIS}[1]{%
% JD - We add a box to \chapter* a well
    \ChRuleWidth{0.5pt}
    \settoheight{\pyy}{\CNoV\thechapter}
    \addtolength{\pyy}{-2pt}
    \parbox[b]{\textwidth}{%
    \rule[\py]{\RW}{\pyy}%		% Vertical line at left
    \hskip -\RW%			% and back
    \rule[\pyy]{\textwidth}{\RW}%	% Horizontal line at top
    \hskip -\textwidth%			% and back
    \mghrulefill{\RW}%			% Horizontal line at bottom
    \rule{\RW}{\pyy}\par\nobreak}%	% Vertical line at right
    \vskip 20\p@
% JD - Original code:
    \raggedright
    \CTV\FmTi{#1}\par\nobreak
    \vskip -10\p@}
\makeatother

So, basically, redefining \ChRuleWidth{0.5pt} and setting it to 0pt instead of 0.5pt should do the trick. Place above code in your Preamble and test the change to see if this is what you want.

yes it did.
Thanks for your help.
