Creating a Cover Page for JupyterBook latex pdf

[Radhika677]

I wish to develop a stylesheet (cover page) for my latex document with a Title (colour Dark Green) and Author names (colour golden) and background colour as Green. I'm developing this in JupyterBook and building it by the following command:

Jupyter-book build bookname --/builder pdflatex.

Following is my _config.yml file:

title: /color{black!60!Green!70!blue} Digital Services
author: Radhika Saraf
logo: logo.png

Can anybody please help me to write the jupyterbook configuration to get colours for author name and a background colour/background image?

Could you please help me with this? I'll be really grateful.
Thanks!

I haven't played with this myself, but I think you probably want to set the latex_elements configuration described in the Sphinx documentation rather than inserting the colour into the title of the book itself. That way, it will work in multiple output types instead of just LaTeX.

e.g. you would customise and add this to your _config.yaml:

sphinx:
  recursive_update: true
  config:
    latex_elements:
      sphinxsetup: |
          TitleColor={named}{DarkGoldenrod},
          % pre_border-width is 5.1.0 alias for verbatimborder
          pre_border-width=2pt,
          % pre_padding is a 5.1.0 alias for verbatimsep
          pre_padding=5pt,
          % Rounded boxes are new at 5.1.0
          pre_border-radius=5pt,
          % TeXcolor reminds that syntax must be as for LaTeX \definecolor
          pre_background-TeXcolor={named}{OldLace},
          % ... and since 5.3.0 also xcolor \colorlet syntax is accepted and we
          %     can thus drop the {named}{...} thing if xcolor is available!
          pre_border-TeXcolor=Gold,
          % ... and even take more advantage of xcolor syntax:
          pre_border-TeXcolor=Gold!90,
          %
          % This 5.1.0 CSS-named option is alias for warningborder
          div.warning_border-width=3pt,
          % Prior to 5.1.0, padding for admonitions was not customizable
          div.warning_padding=6pt,
          div.warning_padding-right=18pt,
          div.warning_padding-bottom=18pt,
          % Assume xcolor has been loaded with its svgnames option
          div.warning_border-TeXcolor=DarkCyan,
          div.warning_background-TeXcolor=LightCyan,
          % This one is the only option with space separated input:
          div.warning_box-shadow=-12pt -12pt inset,
          div.warning_box-shadow-TeXcolor=Cyan,
          %
          % The 5.1.0 new name would be div.attention_border-width
          attentionborder=3pt,
          % The 5.1.0 name here would be div.attention_border-TeXcolor
          attentionBorderColor=Crimson,
          % The 5.1.0 name would be div.attention_background-TeXcolor
          attentionBgColor=FloralWhite,
          %
          % For note/hint/important/tip, the CSS syntax was added at 6.2.0
          % Legacy syntax still works
          noteborder=1pt,
          noteBorderColor=Olive,
          % But setting a background color via the new noteBgColor means that
          % it will be rendered using the same interface as warning type
          noteBgColor=Olive!10,
          % We can customize separately the four border-widths, and mimic
          % the legacy "light" rendering, but now with a background color:
          div.note_border-left-width=0pt,
          div.note_border-right-width=0pt,
          % (but using rounded corners would cause the widths of all sides to
          %  be reset equal to the noteborder setting)
          %
          % As long as only border width and border color are set, *and* using
          % for this the old interface, the rendering will be the "light" one
          hintBorderColor=LightCoral,
          % but if we had used div.hint_border-TeXcolor or *any* CSS-named
          % option we would have triggered the more complex "heavybox" code.
