Fancy chapter headings with TikZ
A question on LaTeX-Community.org inspired me to try pgf/TikZ together with titlesec to produce fancy chapter headings. The result is this small compilable demonstration example:
\documentclass[svgnames]{report} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{kpfonts} \usepackage[explicit]{titlesec} \newcommand*\chapterlabel{} \titleformat{\chapter} {\gdef\chapterlabel{} \normalfont\sffamily\Huge\bfseries\scshape} {\gdef\chapterlabel{\thechapter\ }}{0pt} {\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay] \node[yshift=-3cm] at (current page.north west) {\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay] \draw[fill=LightSkyBlue] (0,0) rectangle (\paperwidth,3cm); \node[anchor=east,xshift=.9\paperwidth,rectangle, rounded corners=20pt,inner sep=11pt, fill=MidnightBlue] {\color{white}\chapterlabel#1}; \end{tikzpicture} }; \end{tikzpicture} } \titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{50pt}{-60pt} \begin{document} \tableofcontents \chapter{Introduction} Text \chapter{Main} \section{Section} Text \begin{thebibliography}{99} \bibitem{Test} test reference \end{thebibliography} \end{document} |

Later question on TeX.SX: Fancy chapter headings – perhaps you have an addition to that?
