Articulate Rise: Hiding the Page Title Area

Hi all, I would like to hide the page title areas on my Articulate Rise pages. I found this 3 minute video on the web that explains exactly what I want, but he is modifying his HTML and CSS on his...

Hmm, this discussion thread seems to be very influenced by the way courses are developped in slide based tools such as Storyline. For me too it took a moment to adapt to the presentation style introduced by Rise where whitespace and big captions are used to have a modern and light layout. The more options available to change the look the more difficult it gets to have the courses in a uniform appearance which I regard as a big advantage of the rather restrictive individualization possibilities of Rise, especially when working in a team with several instuctional designers. For the applications mentioned in the previous posts, Rise may definitely not be the tool of choice and it would be a pity to further develop Rise so that its clear focus on relatively easy to create responsive courses would be lost.

Give Rise content developers the choice though. There's plenty of places to inject style and branding and padding options elsewhere that can easily lead to inconsistency among a team. We have 15+ team licenses and maintain a writing/branding style guide that has an entire page (WordPress) devoted to Rise block options, which template to use, how to treat certain situations-- all in the effort of consistency prior to content reaching a QA stage.

I get what you're espousing Ernst in regard to maintaining ease of use and the responsive nature of Rise at it's core, but this 'ask' is a prevalent inquiry by our end users, instructors, and dev/design teams-- 'how can we negate some of the white space at the top of each section?'

That's usually followed up by an ask of more abilities with the titling at the top of each section (color, banner, etc).

    I asked for this a year ago, as did many others. Let's hope it gets addressed soon.
    Screen space is precious, so let's allow users to remove all that useless white space.

    Thanks,
    Chris
