Reduce size between header and main structure

Post by templateuser »

Hi,

Thanks for this beautiful template !

I would like to know if there is a way of reducing the space between the header and the rest of the document. I have reduced the black rectangle (minimum height of 1cm) to add some space, but the main text is still is the same spot, leaving a big white blank between header and text. I removed the two \vspace in the header class but nothing changed...

Reduce size between header and main structure

Hi,

What's happening is that the text is sitting just below the top margin. All you have to do is get rid of, or reduce, the top margin and the main body text will move up. You can do this by finding this line:

Code: Select all

\RequirePackage[left=6.1cm,top=2cm,right=1.5cm,bottom=2.5cm,nohead,nofoot]{geometry}
and reduce the top=2cm value to something smaller.

Cheers,
