In my 'List of Figures' Chapter the data is listed in red, and with a reference to
appropriate part of the pdf file. I suppose this is due to
\usepackage[colorlinks=true,linkcolor=red,citecolor=blue,urlcolor=black,pagebackref]{hyperref}
Note that red numbers are used to point to equations, and I would not like to change them. Also, it looks nice with \pagebackref
. However, my List of Figures
looks awkward, and I would like it to be written in plain black, possibly surrounded by blue rectangle. If that is not possible, then it is acceptable to make it just black, without any hyperref. How could this be achieved?

This is possible with
or more compact (but maybe not as obvious) with brackets for grouping
{\hypersetup{linkcolor = black} \listoffigures}
or alternatively without the grouping but an additional
\hypersetup{linkcolor = red}
after the\listoffigures
:The hyperref package uses either
colorlinks=true
, i.e. the links are shown in some other colour than black, orcolorlinks=false
, in which case the text of the links is black (or whatever colour is set e.g. with\color
) and there is a coloured rectangle around it. Thecolorlinks
-option cannot be changed with\hypersetup
.Nevertheless it is possible to do this:
to get red rectangles around the links,
to get rid of the rectangles after the list of figures,
to get red links (needed for each & every link!). Probably something like
in the preamble (after loading the
hyperref
package) and using\myref
instead of\ref
would be easier, maybe even re-defining\ref
.You would also need to do this colour-management for the other types of links!
(BTW: For blue rectangles it is
linkbordercolor=blue
.)Using the xcolor package it is also possible to use
The links (either text or rectangle) in the
\listoffigures
would be printed in blue, and the links afterwards in red again. The question "How do I combine link-colouring and link-borders with the hyperref-package?" is probably best asked as new question in my humble opinion.
