##Contents

    • PACKAGES SECTION: contains all the packages, such as nomencl, hyperref, etc. Some of them can not be installed in your computer. Be sure you have them before compiling to avoid errors.
    • FCHAPTER SECTION: contains some definitions which create a nice header for each chapter. Check the definition of the package fncychap.
    • HYPERREF SECTION: Modifies the default hyperref package. Put your name in pdfauthor! linkcolor, citecolor, etc. generate the nice link color in the thesis, change the color if you want.
