I would like to decrease the space before and after the chapter name due to space constraints. I am using the fncychap
. Here is the MWE:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[Glenn]{fncychap}
\usepackage{lipsum} % filler text
\begin{document}
\chapter{Amazing}
\lipsum[1-5] % filler text
\end{document}

The quickest way is to patch the appropriate commands. To change the spacing before the titles, you need to patch
\@makechapterhead
(for numbered chapters) and\@makeschapterhead
(for unnumbered chapters); to change the spacing after the tiles, you need to patch\DOTI
(for numbered chapters) and\DOTIS
(for unnumbered chapters). A little example (the second argument for\patchcmd
contains the default values; the third argument, the modified values):However, I would suggest you not to use this style; long titles won't look good, You could consider using a framed title built with the help of the
titlesec
package; here's a simple example (the vertical spacing before and after the title is set using the second and third arguments for\titlespacing*
):
