[Tex/LaTex] Header and footer modification in scrlayer-scrpage

header-footerscrlayer-scrpage

I'm using a template with master latex class document that defines the header and footer section. I want my head separation line to be orange and header itself without chapter or page number information. Here is the code:

\RequirePackage[markcase=used]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\providepairofpagestyles{thesisSimple}{%
\clearpairofpagestyles%
\automark[chapter]{chapter}
\ihead{\headmark}% Inner header
\ohead[\pagemark]{\pagemark}% Outer header
}
\ifoot{}% Inner footer
\ofoot{}% Outer footer
\pagestyle{thesisSimple}
\providepairofpagestyles[thesisSimple]{thesis}{%
\automark*[section]{}%
}
\providepairofpagestyles[thesisSimple]{review}{%
\ofoot[\shorttitle/\authorname]{\shorttitle/\authorname}
\ifoot[\today]{\today}
}
\pagestyle{thesis}
\ifbool{headsepline}{\KOMAoption{headsepline}{true}}{}
\PreventPackageFromLoading[\ClassError{\classname}{Package `fancyhdr' is
incompatible\MessageBreak with this class}{The pagesyles are defined 
using package `scrlayer-scrpage', please consult the\MessageBreak 
KOMA-script documentation for details.}]{fancyhdr}


\newcommand{\blank@p@gestyle}{empty}
\newcommand{\chapter@p@gestyle}{plain}
\NewDocumentCommand{\blankpagestyle}{ m }{%
\ClassWarning{\classname}{\string\blankpagestyle\space is
obsolete,\MessageBreak use \string\setblankpagestyle \space instead}\renewcommand{\blank@p@gestyle}{}{#1}
}
\NewDocumentCommand{\setblankpagestyle}{ m }{\renewcommand{\blank@p@gestyle}{#1}}
\NewDocumentCommand{\setchapterpagestyle}{ m }{\renewcommand{\chapter@p@gestyle}{#1}}

\DeclareDocumentCommand\cleardoublepage{}{\clearpage\if@twoside \ifodd\c@page\else
\hbox{}
\thispagestyle{\blank@p@gestyle}
\newpage
\if@twocolumn\hbox{}\newpage\fi\fi\fi%
}

Best Answer

Unfortunaly there is no MWE in the question and the OP does not say, if one or all page styles should be modified or if a new page style should be defined to get the empty header with an orange separation line.

To modify all layer page styles:

\AddToLayerPageStyleOptions{@everystyle@}
  {oninit=%
    \KOMAoptions{headsepline,plainheadsepline}\setkomafont{headsepline}{\color{orange}}%
    \ihead*{}\chead*{}\ohead*{}%
  }

To modify one layer page style including the related plain style, eg. thesisSimple:

\AddToLayerPageStyleOptions{thesisSimple}
  {oninit=%
    \KOMAoptions{headsepline}\setkomafont{headsepline}{\color{orange}}%
    \ihead{}\chead{}\ohead{}%
  }
\AddToLayerPageStyleOptions{plain.thesisSimple}
  {oninit=%
    \KOMAoptions{headsepline,plainheadsepline}\setkomafont{headsepline}{\color{orange}}%
    \ihead*{}\chead*{}\ohead*{}%
  }

Defining a new pair of layer page styles:

\providepairofpagestyles{myThesis}{%
  \clearpairofpagestyles
  \ifoot[\currentpagestyle: inner footer]{inner footer}
  \cfoot*{\pagemark}
  \ofoot[outer footer]{\currentpagestyle: outer footer}
}
\AddToLayerPageStyleOptions{myThesis}
  {oninit=\KOMAoptions{headsepline}\setkomafont{headsepline}{\color{orange}}}
\AddToLayerPageStyleOptions{plain.myThesis}
  {oninit=\KOMAoptions{headsepline,plainheadsepline}\setkomafont{headsepline}{\color{orange}}%
}

Example:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\usepackage[markcase=used]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\providepairofpagestyles{thesisSimple}{%
\clearpairofpagestyles%
\automark[chapter]{chapter}
\ihead{\headmark}% Inner header
\ohead[\pagemark]{\pagemark}% Outer header
}
\ifoot{}% Inner footer
\ofoot{}% Outer footer
\pagestyle{thesisSimple}
\providepairofpagestyles[thesisSimple]{thesis}{%
\automark*[section]{}%
}
\providepairofpagestyles[thesisSimple]{review}{%
\ofoot[\shorttitle/\authorname]{\shorttitle/\authorname}
\ifoot[\today]{\today}
}
\pagestyle{thesis}

\newcommand*\shorttitle{Short Title}
\newcommand*\authorname{Author Name}
