Page Layout ⇒ Change Position of Chapter Title

[Mark]

Hey there!

I'm all new to LaTeX, so this question may be silly in your eyes - but here it comes:

At the university my group is to write a report, and we have decided to go with daleif1 chapterstyle.. However we would like the chaptertitle to be to the left and at the same line as the box on the right..

I've managed to move the chaptertitle to the left, but I can't seem to move it up..

Code: Select all

\usepackage{color,calc,graphicx,soul,fourier}
\definecolor{nicegray}{RGB}{49,79,79}
\makeatletter
\newlength\dlf@normtxtw
\setlength\dlf@normtxtw{\textwidth}
\def\myhelvetfont{\def\sfdefault{mdput}}
\newsavebox{\feline@chapter}
\newcommand\feline@chapter@marker[1][4cm]{%
\sbox\feline@chapter{%
\resizebox{!}{#1}{\fboxsep=1pt%
\colorbox{nicegray}{\color{white}\bfseries\sffamily\thechapter}%
}}%
\rotatebox{90}{%
\resizebox{%
\heightof{\usebox{\feline@chapter}}+\depthof{\usebox{\feline@chapter}}}%
{!}{\scshape\so\@chapapp}}\quad%
\raisebox{\depthof{\usebox{\feline@chapter}}}{\usebox{\feline@chapter}}%
}
\newcommand\feline@chm[1][4cm]{%
\sbox\feline@chapter{\feline@chapter@marker[#1]}%
\makebox[0pt][l]{% aka \rlap
\makebox[1cm][r]{\usebox\feline@chapter}%
}}
\makechapterstyle{daleif1}{
\renewcommand\printchaptertitle[1]{\chaptitlefont\raggedright ##1\par}
\renewcommand\chapnamefont{\normalfont\Large\scshape\raggedleft\so}
\renewcommand\chaptitlefont{\normalfont\huge\bfseries\scshape\color{nicegray}}
\renewcommand\chapternamenum{}
\renewcommand\printchaptername{}
\renewcommand\printchapternum{\null\hfill\feline@chm[2.5cm]\par}
\renewcommand\afterchapternum{\par\vskip\midchapskip}
}
\makeatother
\chapterstyle{daleif1}

I've used several hours on this, but can't seem to get it right. Can you help me?

Inserted:

Code: Select all

\setlength{\midchapskip}{-100pt}
\setlength{\afterchapskip}{2.5cm}
\setlength{\beforechapskip}{-1cm}

And it seemed to do the job. But is this the "right" way to do it?
