Hello, I'm new to LyX and TeX and while searching for resources about document styling I came across several tutorials. One of them explained how to use fancyhdr, which worked perfectly using the book document class. Later I came across these blog posts: http://hstuart.dk/2007/05/21/styling-the-chapter/ http://hstuart.dk/2007/06/12/styling-the-page-footer-and-header/
So I started using the document class to "book (Memoir)" to style the chapters as described in the fist blog spot, but for some reason I can't style the page header. Changing the page layout using Document > Settings > Page layout doesn't work either, it always end up using the "plain" header style. I tried using fancyhdr again, but it doesn't work. Apparently the memoir document class already includes an implementation of it or something like that. I'm using Windows XP SP3 and LyX 2.0.3. This is my local layout: Style Chapterstar Copystyle Chapter LatexName chapterstar LabelType Top_Environment LabelString "Unnumbered chapter" LabelFont Series Bold Size LARGE EndFont End This is my preamble: %used by the cover \usepackage{graphicx} % T1 Helvetica scaled \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[scaled]{helvet} \renewcommand*{\familydefault}{\sfdefault} % Chapter style \usepackage{xcolor,calc} \makechapterstyle{combined}{ \setlength{\beforechapskip}{30pt} \setlength{\midchapskip}{-60pt} \setlength{\afterchapskip}{60pt} \renewcommand*{\printchaptername}{} \renewcommand*{\chapnumfont}{\normalfont\sffamily\bfseries\fontsize{80}{0}\selectfont} \renewcommand*{\printchapternum}{\flushright\chapnumfont\textcolor[rgb]{.64,.79,.87}{\thechapter}} \renewcommand*{\chaptitlefont}{\normalfont\sffamily\Huge\bfseries} \renewcommand*{\printchaptertitle}[1]{% \raggedright\chaptitlefont\parbox[t]{\textwidth-3cm}{\raggedright##1}} } \chapterstyle{combined} % Code listing \usepackage{listings,color} \definecolor{dkgreen}{RGB}{63,127,95} \definecolor{gray}{rgb}{0.5,0.5,0.5} \definecolor{light-gray}{rgb}{0.925,0.925,0.925} \definecolor{mauve}{RGB}{127,0,85} \lstset{ language=Java, backgroundcolor=\color{light-gray}, basicstyle=\footnotesize\ttfamily, numbers=left, numberstyle=\tiny, numbersep=5pt, tabsize=2, extendedchars=true, breaklines=true, keywordstyle=\color{mauve}\textbf, frame=b, commentstyle=\color{dkgreen}, stringstyle=\color{blue}, showspaces=false, showtabs=false, xleftmargin=17pt, framexleftmargin=17pt, framexrightmargin=5pt, framexbottommargin=4pt, showstringspaces=false } \lstloadlanguages{ %[Visual]Basic %Pascal %C %C++ %XML %HTML Java } %\DeclareCaptionFont{blue}{\color{blue}} %\captionsetup[lstlisting]{singlelinecheck=false, labelfont={blue}, textfont={blue}} \usepackage{caption} \DeclareCaptionFont{white}{\color{white}} \DeclareCaptionFormat{listing}{\colorbox[cmyk]{0.43, 0.35, 0.35,0.01}{\parbox{\textwidth}{\hspace{15pt}#1#2#3}}} \captionsetup[lstlisting]{format=listing,labelfont=white,textfont=white, singlelinecheck=false, margin=0pt, font={bf,footnotesize}} % New style chapter star, so we can have unumbered chapters to show in ToC \newcommand{\tocchap}[1]{\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline {}#1}\markboth{\textsc{#1}}{\textsc{#1}}\thispagestyle{plain}} \newcommand{\chapterstar}[1]{\chapter*{#1}\tocchap{#1}} % Sections are not numbered \setcounter{secnumdepth}{0} % Vertical gap between paragraphs \setlength{\parskip}{\medskipamount} Thanks in advance, Fabio.
