Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ How can you remove whitespace between header and toc?

[templateuser]

I am using the following packages to set up my chapter headings but there is still a major space below the chapter heading the the content in the table of contents.
Any way of removing it.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[Sonny]{fncychap}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\@makechapterhead}{\vspace*{50\p@}}{}{}{}% Removes space above \chapter head
\patchcmd{\@makeschapterhead}{\vspace*{50\p@}}{}{}{}% Removes space above \chapter* head
\makeatother

Package fncychap redefines the appearance of chapter titles by redefining the internals, so much more stuff has to be dealt with when changing the appearance.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[Sonny]{fncychap}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{showframe}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\@makechapterhead}{\vspace*{50\p@}}{}{}{}% Removes space above \chapter head
\patchcmd{\@makeschapterhead}{\vspace*{50\p@}}{}{}{}% Removes space above \chapter* head
  \renewcommand{\DOCH}{%
    \raggedleft
    \CNV\FmN{\@chapapp}\space \CNoV\thechapter
    \par\nobreak
    \vskip 10\p@}
  \renewcommand{\DOTI}[1]{%
    \CTV\raggedleft\mghrulefill{\RW}\par\nobreak
    \vskip 5\p@
    \CTV\FmTi{#1}\par\nobreak
    \mghrulefill{\RW}\par\nobreak
    \vskip 10\p@}
  \renewcommand{\DOTIS}[1]{%
    \CTV\raggedleft\mghrulefill{\RW}\par\nobreak
    \vskip 5\p@
    \CTV\FmTi{#1}\par\nobreak
    \mghrulefill{\RW}\par\nobreak
    \vskip 10\p@}
