Change the padding default?
Hi
I'm really enjoying using Rise. Thanks.
I find that 30pt padding between blocks is too wide and I'm having to edit every block. Is there a way to set the default to "no padding"? j.
Hey Janet - I'm so happy that you're enjoying using rise.
We set the default padding to 30px top and bottom based on a lot of testing across multiple devices and with lots of different content. It provided the best balance of white-space and content, providing a great learning experience that wasn't too dense or heavy.
I'd be curious to see an example where no-padding on every block works best. (Is this for both top and bottom?!) If you can share, that would be great.

Thanks for your quick response, Adam. I understand what you are saying about the balance of white-space and content, and 30 px does work well in many cases. I've just been finding I'm using no padding a lot in a current project and I was looking to reset the default. Here's the difference between 30px padding and no padding in an image and text example (attached).
Thanks, again.
Cool, thanks for sharing Janet. Right, we found that 30px works as a great default but that's why we also created the feature to let you change it. Because in certain cases custom padding makes sense.

Hi Janet:
I would like to chime in and agree that 0 or 10 pixels makes a much nicer default for separator padding/spacing in Articulate Rise over the current standard of 30 px.
Cheers,

Hi Cher,
Thanks for that image example - and we are looking at additional changes to how you can adjust padding. I don't have a timeframe to share on that enhancement yet, but I will certainly keep you posted here!
For the last part of the padding in the quote block, you'll also notice the top portion of the quotes icon (very light in the image) is at the top of the block, but the text on that one is still lower. It's centered in the overall block element.

Hello. I have the same issue. I see that it was posted 2 years ago. Has this been resolved? Thanks so much!

I find that I lower the padding a bit when I have a text block trailing a MM block. The text looks more associated with the elements that way. Probably about 50% of my imports... I find that the single line divider isn't seen by people so the chunked aspect of the page isn't very obvious. On the other hand, the "continue" block offsets that somewhat allowing users to move from chunk to chunk...

I have the same question... why this extra space?

+1 A configurable default would be great. I need to change it every time which is tiresome.
