Page Layout ⇒ Fancyhdr redesign plain problem

[wim]

Hi all, I want to use fancyhdr to have header and footer for all my pages. When I redesign the plain pagestyle, not all pages have the new look. Am I missing something here?

The second page shows the 'old, default' header and footer layout. How is this possible? And more important how to have all pages have the same layout. (also the table of contents)?

Hi wim,

you've changed the plain page style, but not the fancy style, that's used too. With \pagestyle{fancy} you decided to use the fancy page style. The plain page style will be used on chapter starting pages.

Perhaps have a look at Modifying plain page style. There's described how you could use the same page style everywhere.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for answering.

I've looked at \let\ps@plain\ps@fancy which doesn't seem to work for me.

Further more, I've tried all kind of combinations of
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{my style declarations}
also with leaving out the first line but none of these give me the correct result.

I have found a solution. I have to declare the style declarations again for the default (fancy?) page style:
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{my style declarations}
{my style declarations}

This give me the same fancy page layout on the first page and all subsequent pages of the same chapter.

I have a solution, but it is not clear to me how this works and why it couldn't be done with one style declaration.

Usually chapter pages have a different layout to mark them and segregate them optically from the rest of the document in case a reader just browses the document.
