I'd like to customize my moderncv a bit. For my sections I want a color fade in the headings. For this purpose I got this code in Latex:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{fadings,patterns,positioning,fit,calc}
\tikzset{
zero sep/.style = {inner sep=0pt, outer sep=0pt},
}
\newcommand\tikzsection[1]{%
\pgfmathsetmacro\randref{rand}
\begin{tikzfadingfrompicture}[name=tikzsection \randref]
\node[fill=white,anchor=south east,zero sep,minimum width=5cm,minimum height=2.5mm] (box node){};
\node [text=white,anchor=base west,text depth=5pt,text height=12pt,zero sep,
font=\normalfont\Large\bfseries,right=10pt of box node,
text width=5.9cm,align=left] (text node) {#1};
\node [fit={(box node)(text node)
},zero sep] (myfit) {};
\path let \p1=(myfit.south west), \p2=(myfit.north east), \n1={\x2-\x1}, \n2={\y2-\y1} in
\pgfextra{\xdef\lenx{\n1} \xdef\leny{\n2}};
\end{tikzfadingfrompicture}
\section[#1]{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=.5*5pt-.5*12pt]
\path[path fading=tikzsection \randref, fit fading=false,left color=blue, right color=black]
(-.5*\lenx,-.5*\leny) rectangle ++(\lenx,\leny);
\end{tikzpicture}
}
}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\tikzsection{First section}
Some text
\tikzsection{Secoooooond segtion}
Some text
\tikzsection{Short}
Some text
\end{document}
I tried to include this in my moderncv
but obviously I can't just use it like that since the \section
command is already defined in moderncv
. I tried to redefine it in moderncv
and moderncvstyleclassic
but it still gives me errors. Do you know what I have to do to use it in my moderncv instead of \section
?
This is how the \section
command is defined in moderncv:
\renewcommand*{\section}[1]{%
\par\addvspace{2.5ex}%
\phantomsection{}% reset the anchor for hyperrefs
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{#1}%
\strut\sectionstyle{#1}%
{\color{color1}\hrule}%
\par\nobreak\addvspace{1ex}\@afterheading}
where \sectionstyle
is again an own command (sorry I don't have access right now to the files of moderncv
)
