Rise - change size of headers and lesson titles
When bulding courses in Rise I've noticed that it's impossible to change size of the header space (top marigin) or font size of the lesson's title. What I woud like to do is to get rid of all the empty space between the title and the first block of content. In the attached phot I marked the areas that I want to be able to edit. The final goal is to avoid scrolling down the page when I insert a Storyline block to Rise or just any other block of content or interactivity. I already turned off Previous and Next buttons from navigation and removed all padding from content blocks but it's still not enough. Does Articulate360 team consider adding such functions for editing marigins? Thank you

Some quality hacking going on right there! :)
Thanks - but I wouldn't call it hacking. Articulate Rise is a great product, but it suffers from the same simplicity that makes it so great. Fortunately you can tweak just about everything from that main stylesheet (CSS).
I wonder if there's a market for Articulate Rise customizations. It would be neat to put together a bunch of power tricks to address some of the more frustrating elements of the software from a designer's perspective.I would totally like to work on that with you! rex@karinrex.com
Here are some visual comparisons of what I describe above.
Ephraim, thanks for this and I have been going wild playing around with the CSS adjustments I see are now possible. However, I'm completely lost on something as I'm fairly new to Rise...
I take the course in question, download it as "web" which gets me the zip file, go in and make my edits as you described and save the edited CSS file. From that point, I know I can check my work by looking at the index file, but now I have no idea how to upload the header-free course back up into Rise.
Would you or anyone who has tried the CSS edit approach out know how to pull this off? Thanks in advance.

Quick follow-up. It looks like the easiest way to hide the Lesson Title Header entirely is as follows:
- open the Lib folder
- open main.bundle.css
- edit line 58: find ".page__header-container-header"
- and add "display:none;" as one of the properties of that element
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:
- open the Lib folder
- open main.bundle.css
- 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.
I'm hoping said feature isn't simply a toggle for the header to be on or off, although that would be better than nothing.
Having *some* granular control over the sizing/font/color and amount of padding below the header would be optimal-- along w/ being able to just negate it altogether.
Sorry just saw the red button "Hero". Hopefully Alyssa sees the post.
Hey Phil,
This is on our roadmap of planned features, but we don't expect the feature to go live until later next year. We'll let you know when it's ready!
lol no offence taken but they are starting to get a little disgruntled. Please try to get us a better update. Even if it was something like next year, 1st quarter. At least it's something more solid we can report back.
Oh I'm not Articulate staff just another forum user...
I don't seem to sound harsh but I just have to ask. This conversation has been going on for over a year now and "It's on our roadmap" sounds like a canned response that we have hearing many times now. My senior project managers and directors are running out of patients. This doesn't seem like a hard fix. Can you give us a better idea when we can expect to see a resolution?

I hope you mean patience and they aren't killing staff off Phil...
sorry Friday humour after a full on week - hope you don't take offence ;-)
Hi Alyssa,
Please add my name to the list of people wanting this feature. It will make a huge difference to how I am able to use Rise within our LMS.
Hey folks,
We've been listening to your requests, and a feature that will allow you to hide the lesson header is on our roadmap. We’ll let you know as soon as that’s available.
