Page Layout ⇒ Header box using Tikzpicture: How to modify / add lines

[paveheikkinen]

Hello Latex Community,

I have been working on a CV template to personalize it. Yet, I have not found a way to to modify the header that is originally created with Tikz. The CV concludes from two different files: the actual .tex file and a .cls file. By trying out different combinations I have been able to add a line of text 'randomly' with wrong font and position. What I am trying to do is to add a third lane of text into the header.

The original code:
.cls file

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

\newcommand{\header}[3]{%
  \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
    \node [rectangle, fill=fillheader, anchor=north, minimum width=\paperwidth, minimum height=3.5cm] (box) at (current page.north){};
    \node [anchor=center] (name) at (box) {%
      \fontsize{40pt}{72pt}\color{header}%
      {\thinfont #1}{\bodyfont  #2}
    };
    \node [anchor=north] at (name.south) {%
      \fontsize{14pt}{24pt}\color{header}%
      \thinfont #3%
    };
% This is what I tried adding with unwanted results
%    \node [anchor=south] at (box.south) {%
%     \fontsize{14pt}\color{header}%
%      {\thinfont #4}{\thinfont #5}
%    }; 
  \end{tikzpicture}
  \vspace{2.5cm}
  \vspace{-2\parskip}

Run LaTeX here

And the .tex file

Code: Select all

2
\header{name}{surname}{texline1}
%{text2}{text3} this is what I added to work with the extra code in .cls

So my first question would be the basics about the node. Am I missing some other part of code which influences the number of lines in the header?
Secondly, how can I set the third node position correctly?
All in all, I would truly appreciate help!
As you probably can understand from my text, I am not a professional with Latex. Thus if there are any questions/data missing, feel free to ask/comment!

Best wishes,

      ] (box) at (current page.north){};
    \node [

    \node [
