I have this .cls file to define master and PhD thesis. I want to make some changes:
-
Change the position of page numbering to be at the bottom center. Currently, it is set at the top right of the page. I can't find this option to modify, this template using the
\KOMAOPTION. -
I want to change the list of figures to have
\doublespacedbetween entries. Currently, it's using single space between each figure caption. This template using complex definition that I can't understand.
Can you help me change this template please.

Best Answer
For the position of the page number use:
For the additional space before figure entries you can use:
Example:
