classicthesiscolortable of contents
I am using classicthesis as a template for my thesis. The thing is that I want to put a different color for the chapters on the table of contents.
Example:
CONTENTS
1 Introduction (on color red)
1.1 Motive
1.2 Anything
Thanks! I hope you can help me.
Add dottedtoc to the options when calling classicthesis:
\usepackage[...,dottedtoc]{classicthesis}
where ... stands for the present options you're using.
classicthesis adds a \deactivateaddvspace macro at the start the .lof file. This macro does exactly what its name suggests, and so your patch fails. Looking into the package code, this behaviour seems to be related to a listsseparated option (and associated boolean) that is set to false. I wasn't able to set it to true again, so here's a brute force method: Define a new macro \killdeactivateadddvspace that will cause \deactiveateaddvspace to do nothing, and add the former macro at the very start of the .lof file -- I've used the etoolbox package and its \AtEndPreamble macro to do so.
Notes: I didn't use the classicthesis-ldpkg package as it is not available at CTAN. Also, adding the demo option to the graphicx package makes it easier for helpers to test your code.
\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{classicthesis}
%\usepackage{classicthesis-ldpkg}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\newcommand{\killdeactivateaddvspace}{\let\deactivateaddvspace\relax}
\AtEndPreamble{\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\killdeactivateaddvspace}}
\begin{document}
\listoffigures
\clearpage
\chapter{1}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=.9]{fig1}
\caption{Figure 1 of the chapter 1}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=.9]{fig2}
\caption{Figure 2 of the chapter 1}
\end{figure}

\chapter{2}
\begin{figure}

\chapter{3}

Since
classicthesisinternally uses thetocloftpackage, you can redefine\cftchapfontand\cftchappagefontto add the desired color; a little example:An image of the resulting ToC:
