I'm using document class report and I have decided to use one of the predefined styles of Vincent Zoonekynd's for chapter headings, with some modifications.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\makeatletter
\def\LigneVerticale{\vrule height 1.5cm depth 0.9cm\hspace{0.1cm}\relax}
\def\LignesVerticales{%
  \let\LV\LigneVerticale\LV\LV\LV\LV\LV\LV\LV\LV\LV\LV}
\def\GrosCarreAvecUnChiffre#1{%
  \rlap{\vrule height 0.8cm width 1cm depth 0.2cm}%
  \rlap{\hbox to 1cm{\hss\mbox{\color{white}#1}\hss}}%
  \vrule height 0pt width 1cm depth 0pt}
\def\GrosCarreAvecUnChiffres#1{{%
  \color{white}%
  \rlap{\vrule height 0.8cm width 1cm depth 0.2cm}%
  \rlap{\hbox to 1cm{\hss\mbox{\color{black}#1}\hss}}%
  \vrule height 0pt width 1cm depth 0pt}}
\def\@makechapterhead#1{
    \vspace*{-20pt}
    \hbox{%
    \huge\bfseries
    \LignesVerticales
    \hspace{-0.62cm}%
    \GrosCarreAvecUnChiffre{\thechapter}
    \hspace{0.2cm}\hbox{#1}%
    }\par\vskip 0.5cm}
 \def\@makeschapterhead#1{
    \vspace*{-20pt}
    \hbox{%
    \huge\bfseries
    \LignesVerticales
    \hspace{-0.62cm}%
    \GrosCarreAvecUnChiffres{\thechapter}
    \hspace{0.2cm}\hbox{#1}%
    }\par\vskip 0.5cm}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\chapter{Name}
\chapter*{Surname}
\end{document}

I would like to make other modifications and don't know how to do this. The definition for \chapter is alright, no other modification is needed. The only change is about \chapter*s. I would like to put any number (zero) away and move the name of the chapter to the left in the white box. Does anyone know how to change this?

    Hi Jane! :) A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, they'll be marked as a code sample. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button (with "{}" on it).

  • I assume where your code said \white it was supposed to say \color{white}. I fixed that, hope that's ok.

Via trial and error, I modified the following part as follows, which seems to work:

\def\GrosCarreAvecUnChiffres#1{{%
  \color{white}%
  \rlap{\vrule height 0.8cm width 1cm depth 0.2cm}%
% \rlap{\hbox to 1cm{\hss\mbox{\color{black}#1}\hss}}%
% \vrule height 0pt width 1cm depth 0pt%
  \hspace{-0.25cm}% This is new
  }}

    @Jane: Glad I could help. It'd be nice if you upvoted this answer, as well as some of the answers to your other questions. I see you have ten questions, nine of which have an accepted answer, but you only voted three times.
