- Now using the pagecolor package. Empty thumb marks now inherit their colour from the pages's background. Option pagecolor is therefore obsolete. - New kinds of thumb mark overview pages introduced additionally to \thumbsoverview: \thumbsoverviewback, \thumbsoverviewverso, and \thumbsoverviewdouble. - New option hidethumbs=true to hide thumb marks (and their overview page(s)). - Option ignorehoffset did not work for the thumb marks overview page(s) - neither true nor false; fixed.

More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/thumbs (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

thumbs – Create thumb indexes
The package puts running, customizable thumb marks in the outer margin, moving downward as the chapter number (or whatever shall be marked by the thumb marks) increases. Additionally an overview page/table of thumb marks can be added automatically, which gives the names of the thumbed objects, the page where the object/thumb mark first appears, and the thumb mark itself at its correct position. The thumb marks are useful for large documents (such as reference guides, anthologies, etc.), where a quick and easy way to find (for example) a chapter is needed.
