Johnny All three items are quite easily doable.You need to have a customization layer that "adjusts" the builtin capabilities. Bob Stayton's book is a must. I still reference it even after years of working with Docbook. And this is the correct forum for getting those answers. I would suggest doing one of these first and get that working and then move on to all of the other issues. I am including my own header with logo stylesheet that you can examine and modify as you wish. It may get you started in the right direction. I will also include the shading of the <programlisting> which you should be able to modify to work like you want. Let me know if that helps.

Hi, recently I got started with my first docbook document, and I am very satisfied with the great possibilities to publish a number of output formats from a single structured document. Coming from LaTeX, I am looking for possibilities to customize high quality PDF output. For example, I'd like to modify paragraph indentation, font sizes, line spacing, page numbering, page headers and footers etc. Ideally I am looking for a gallery of document layouts from which I can choose one and maybe fine tune, as it is possible under LaTeX by choosing from a large number of document classes (like e.g. koma script). Some help is given at http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintOutput.html. But those options are too limited to do things like putting a logo into the page header, numbering frontmatter pages like i,ii,iii,iv,... and only the main document 1,2,3,..., putting a light yellow background below verbatim (code) text boxes, etc. (If someone points me to an explanation how to achieve these three options - logo, page numbering, code background color - I might have a better idea where to look for other solutions in the future.) Should I go the DBLatex way and change the intermediate LaTeX file to use the desired document class? Or can I find an idiot-proof PDF customization tutorial somewhere that doesn't require me to learn the low-level PDF language?
