How do I change the margin sizes?

Post by templateuser »

Hi,
Excellent template! I would love to use it in my thesis, but my university have strict regulations concerning style. I need to somehow change the margins and make it look decent in a single-side mode. Could you help me with that?

Best,
Chris

How do I change the margin sizes?

Hi Chris,

There's two ways you can change the margins:

1) Go into classicthesis.sty and find the "Textblock size" block. In there, you can adjust the page width and margin size but you'll have to figure out which values to change and how.
2) You can use the geometry package after the \input{classicthesis-config} line in ClassicThesis.tex like this:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[left=1in,right=2in,top=1in,bottom=2in]{geometry}
Good luck!
