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 local computer. I think some folks will agree that his pages look more streamlined without the title area (for some projects). http://www.learningdojo.net/articulate-rise-hiding-the-page-title-area/ I understand the basic concepts, but my file structures look different. (I would really be great if there were a feature in settings that allowed me to hide the title areas with a check block:). Can someone help me out, please. As always, thanks in advance to all the kind folks who help out. Jeff

I appreciate your input, Adam. I'm not criticizing Rise. But in the case of a video based training (like software for example), the title area is so deep that the learner must scroll to see the video. In some cases, it would be helpful to at least have a more compact title area. I would use Storyline, but I am unable to get it to be responsive across a wide range of devices (something that Rise does spectacularly). Not every project requires strict adherence to e-learning science and protocol. Sometimes a simple video explanation is the best training tool (think YouTube). Rise provides an excellent 'container' for videos with a menu that organizes everything very nicely. And most importantly it is RESPONSIVE. In some cases, making the title area more compact would create a more attractive and user-friendly interface for the learner. I can tell from your response that your not convinced, but I do appreciate your prompt and candid reply.

Agreed. We would really like to remove the titles as well. Users are complaining about having to scroll down so far to get to the content.

I made the original post and I'm glad to see some interest in this feature. In my opinion, if a course is properly developed, it is generally unnecessary to display title after title to keep the student oriented (the context of the lesson should keep the student from getting lost). But, based on Adam's original reply to this thread, his research says otherwise.

Thanks for the quick reply, Adam. I do tutorials for aircraft technicians that are often demonstrations of procedures or processes. I'm developing one now that demonstrates the procedures for building an aircraft connector (i.e., choosing the correct crimping tool, configuring the crimper, etc.). They are more or less a series of videos that are organized in sections by Rise's awesome menu. There will also be quizzes along the way. If you have ever watched any videos on Lynda.com you will get the picture. The link to the video in my last post does a good job of explaining the need to remove the title area in some cases. I think you may agree if you watch the first 30 seconds or so. I certainly have other options, but I love Rise's ability to be responsive to all devices and it's attractive interface. Thanks again for the prompt reply.

I agree that it would be great to be able to remove or at least shrink the header. It's really huge.

As Samantha Gerard said:

I'm also interested in being able to remove, minimize, or even just slightly shrink the page title area.

I would like to add being able to adjust the course title (multiple lined titles, size, shape, color) would be a great addition to Rise. I really love it!!!

I'd love the ability to hide/customise the heading area too :-)

I would like to add my support for the need to have more flexibility with the size of the title bar, especially on the very first page.

Thanks, Rachel! I know a few folks have asked for it now, and we track all the requests for this feature to help our team with planning the roadmap. We'll let you know here if this makes it to Rise.

Let me add my vote to be able to reduce the header area, resize the title bar on the first page. In addition, I would like to be able to add graphics to the text above the lesson outline on the first page. Other desired flexibility to control spacing and flow would be great as well. Having several modes would be great: 1. Out of the box for non designers/non techy people, and 2. Open mode with more flexibility to adjust fonts, spacing between blocks and more control over navigation. Finally, the 3. Developer mode where we can create or update the CSS and add JavaScript to a lesson. Thanks!
