Rise - change size of headers and lesson titles

Hi Monika,

Thanks for reaching out here! I know a few other folks have requested to be able to change the padding and margins within their Rise course, so I'll add you to that feature request! I'll let you know here as soon as I have any more info. 

Another vote here. It would help a lot to be able to customize section headers, add a color or photo to its background, etc. 

Thanks for adding your votes, folks. We’re building a way to hide the lesson header. Yay! We’ll keep you posted on when that’s available.

Hey all,

I totally get your frustration with the white space in the Lesson Title Header. The good news is that you don't need to wait for Articulate to implement any customization options (although that would be ideal). In the meantime, you need to make one super tiny edit to one of the output files (the CSS stylesheet).

Essentially:

1. open the Lib folder
2. open main.bundle.css
3. edit line 58: ...... {.lesson-header{padding-bottom:4.5rem}}

I find that changing this to 1.5 from 4.5 (a reduction of 2/3rds) does the trick for me. 

I may also see if I can disable the Header completely via CSS, but not sure quite yet. I'm currently looking at developing single lesson activities in Rise, and then incorporating them as standalone items, mid-lesson, into longer form content via iframes.

PS - please ignore my current account name. I need it to appear a certain way at the moment for a client, and my Rise account details seem to be directly associated with my profile display here on E-Learning Heroes.

Quick follow-up. It looks like the easiest way to hide the Lesson Title Header entirely is as follows:

1. open the Lib folder
2. open main.bundle.css
3. edit line 58: find ".page__header-container-header"
4. and add "display:none;" as one of the properties of that element

Here are some visual comparisons of what I describe above.

Folks, for those of you who are waiting for this feature (and a few others like it) that require a few basic edits to the CSS file, I'm working on a pre-alpha release of some Rise add-on software that allows you to select from a number of enhancement options, like this one, and automatically makes the changes to the exported file package for you. You just select the enhancements you want, point it at the exported course, and hit save. Let me know if you're interested and I can send you a pre-release version to test.

Really crazy that straightforward requests like this languish on these boards for years and years. This is by far not the only one. What's the point of these boards if they aren't going to address the questions? Editing CSS for each individual course is a good hack if you have a few courses, but we have dozens that are periodically republished. The fact that someone is so desperate as to start creating 3rd party hacks for issues like this speaks volumes about the disdain Articulate feels for its customers. They know it's too hard to switch tools so they just ignore what users have to say. Notice their staff stopped responding to this thread over a year ago after leading everyone on for 3+ years. Seems like the only thing they've released in the last year are templates.  They say their process for prioritizing feature requests is asking "will this be beneficial for all our users". Templates? Really? Who uses pre-built templates? Ephraim, I'd be interested in checking out your tool as well. What other features are you looking at? 

The empty space on the cover page was the first thing my client criticized, and the client did not understand why it could not be cut.

Please keep me updated.

Hi Allison,

Please add me to the list as well. Also my client made the request if it's possible to reduce the size of the "block-size" of the header text of a new chapter.

They are a pretty large international organization and want to create their own e-learning courses themselves: I introduced Rise to them as I find it the best software solution (with a very low learning curve for new starters). But some key players in this organization consider the "big blocks",  "not workable" and potentially a NO-GO to use Rise.   

Thanks for keeping us posted.
