How do I change the paper size to US letter?

Post by templateuser »

I love the style and really wanted to use it. But all of the layout is very specific to a4 paper. When I tried to use US letter size, everything was off.

I’m not sure if Andre would approve of it, but you can alter lines 242 and 247 of classicthesis.sty by adding 17pt to the width and removing 50pt from the height term. It fits the page nicely, but may not have the stylistic finesse with using a4 paper.
