As far as I know, there's no such ready to use package similar to fncychap
. However, you have some possibilities:
The memoir
document class has some predefined chapter styles (see Section 6.5 Chapter headings of the manual). You can easily use one of those predefined styles or define your own (the manual has examples). If you want to use some of the predefined styles but don't want to use memoir
, you can easily see how the styles were implemented and use this to implement them yourself (using the titlesec
package, for example).
The titlesec
package lets you define your own styles (the package documentation has some examples).
The classicthesis
package also defines some styles; again, if you don't want to use the class, you can use the styles as an inspiration; the package defines the styles using the titlesec
package, so you can easily see how the styles were defined.
Vincent Zoonekynd has in this page
a collection of some styles and the code is available (thanks to Thérèse for helping me to find the link).
Some time ago Stefan Kottwitz designed a fancy chapter style using TikZ
and titlesec
; you can see it (code available) in his blog here
.
Lian Tze Lim from the Malaysian LaTeX User Group has another fancy design (inspired on Stefan's) and you can see it here
. The author provides links to the code. (Thanks to rvf0068 for providing the link).
Personally, I don't like much the styles designed by fncychap
.
