Hi all,
I'm sure there must be a solution for this, but I haven't been able to
find it yet: I want my chapter titles typeset in a sort of frame which
will span the entire page, not only the text area, so I guess the
easiest way to do that would be a page background. How can I set up a
background that will appear only on the title page, in addition to the
regular background? Bonus question: I also want the color schemes of
both backgrounds to be different in every chapter, so the solution
should make this possible. The example is a bit silly, but it shows what
I'm looking for, I hope.
Thanks, and all best
Thomas
