Text Formatting ⇒ Page Border and Heading Color

[loki]

Hi,
I'm new to LaTeX and have run into an issue. I want a colored border around my title page. I achieved this, but now the heading on the next page shows up as the same color as my border, and I can't find a way to keep my page border color while changing my heading back to black. What I have done is:
\pagestyle{fancy}
\headheight 20pt
\headwidth \textwidth
\lhead{Text}
\chead{Text}
\rhead {Text}
For the heading. Then for the titlepage:
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
\color{MyDarkBlue}
\setlength\fboxrule{3pt}
\thisfancypage{\fbox}{}
Text
\end{titlepage}
\newpage

Anyone have any ideas for me as to why this is happening?

I can't run your code since half of it is missing. Please provide a working minimal example.

Thank you

You should put code inside [ code ] boxes, as per the Board Rules.

Anyway, your problem is strange. I couldn't quite figure out why it was showing this behavior either. Probably a bad interaction between \thisfancypage and the titlepage environment. The only workaround I could see what to force the normal headers to be black by putting this right in their definitions:

Code: Select all

\pagestyle{fancy}
\headheight 20pt
\headwidth \textwidth
\let\oldheadrule=\headrule
\renewcommand{\headrule}{\color{black}\oldheadrule}
\lhead{\color{black}Text}
\chead{\color{black}Text}
\rhead{\color{black}Text}
\lfoot{\color{black}Text}
\cfoot{\color{black}Text}
\rfoot{\color{black}Text}

(Actually, I'm not sure the \lhead ... \rfoot need to have \color{black} in them, since it seems to tackle the \headrule first, but just in case.)

Not a very elegant solution. Maybe someone else will know of a better way to handle this.

Thanks for replying so quickly! I'll use that for now.

If that solves the problem for now, then please mark the topic accordingly as written in the Board Rules (to be read before posting). Please catch up on tagging code as such in your former posts here.
