Koma-script, change chapter appearance (how to add a circle and horizontal ruler?)
Here's a solution using the titlesec package; this will work as expected with both numbered and unnumbered chapters; taking into account the comments, I've replaced the initial definition of the circle with \CIRCLE
from the wasysym
package:
\documentclass[chapterprefix=true]{scrbook}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\titleformat{\chapter}[block]
{\normalfont\huge\sffamily\bfseries}
{\CIRCLE\vskip6pt\titlerule[1pt]\vskip9pt\chaptertitlename~\thechapter.}
{0.5em}{}
\titleformat{name=\chapter,numberless}[block]
{\normalfont\huge\sffamily\bfseries}
{\CIRCLE\vskip6pt\titlerule[1pt]\vskip9pt}
{0pc}{}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{Test Numbered Chapter}
\chapter*{Test Unnumbered Chapter}
\end{document}
