Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Moving the large grey chapter numbers' positions

[templateuser]

Is there a way to move the position of the large, grey chapter numbers that appear on the top right of the 1st page of a new chapter?

As I've adjusted my margins, I'd like to be able to reposition them accordingly.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Catherine,

The line you're interested in is line 373 of classicthesis.sty:

Code: Select all

1
{\relax}{\mbox{}\oldmarginpar{\vspace*{-3\baselineskip}\color{halfgray}\chapterNumber\thechapter}}{0pt}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה

To change the height of the chapter number, adjust the value in \vspace*{-3\baselineskip}, to change how far right the number is, add a \hspace{-20pt} just before \chapterNumber\thechapter with a positive value for moving it right and negative value for moving it left.

Hi there,

The large grey numbers in the appendix feature as 'A' and 'B'. I'd like to change these letters as I prefer to call the appendix 'Supplementary Information', therefore I'd like the top right large grey letter to be 'SI'.

How do I change the large letter from 'A' to 'SI'?

Thanks!

Hey,

Just place the following right after \appendix in your main.tex file:

Code: Select all

1
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{SI}

Thanks for replying so quickly!

Related to the first post, having adjusted the positions of the chapter numbers as you kindly instructed, the same command does not seem to adjust the position of the large grey 'SI' chapter number. Is there a separate command line that determines the position of the appendix chapter numbers?

Hey,

I just opened up the template and changed the A to SI using my last reply and then added the \hspace{-20pt} to line 373 of classicthesis.sty as per my first reply in this thread like so:

Code: Select all

1
2
{\relax}{\mbox{}\oldmarginpar{\vspace*{-3\baselineskip}\color{halfgray}%
\hspace{-20pt}\chapterNumber\thechapter}}{0pt}

This caused the gray SI heading to move left. Did you add the negative hspace in the same place? Note that if you're using the 'linedheaders' option when calling the classicthesis style from classicthesis-config.tex you will need to add the negative horizontal on line 370 instead.
