Page Layout ⇒ Moving box with chapter number on margin

[bartzmc]

Hi,
I need to make some sort of moving shape with chapter number inside which will be moving with scrolling pages on twosided document.
Something like this:

page.jpg (147.34 KiB) Viewed 3867 times

Which package can provide me some help to implement this or it is even possible to do this?

Welcome to the forum!

This looks like a job for chapterthumbs.

Thanks, it should work but I need more help to adjust some things.
I'm using phd report class and I had to use scrpage2 instead fancyhdr.
This is result: http://i.imgur.com/vB4upJm.jpg
Box is static, does not move with scrolling pages, it shows only 0 in TOC and 1 on every odd page, does not change to 2nd chapter and it is in wrong place on the left from page number. I marked where I want it to be.

I come up with other solution but it also needs to be modified.
It looks like https://i.imgur.com/Fbtxy2W.jpg
The problem is that chapter thumb does not increment down the page as dictated by the chapters and I want it to be placed where I marked.
