Is it possible when defining either the style or declaring the "theorem" to change the vertical spacing after the head (not after the entire "theorem")?
I want to do this with appropriate setting(s) in the preamble, and not each time I invoke the environment. (Obviously I could do it manually each time I invoke the environment.)
In the docs for thmtools, I did not find a key to do that either for \declaretheoremstyle or \declaretheorem.
Example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{thmtools}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}
\declaretheoremstyle[
headfont=\bfseries, headpunct={}, numbered=no,
spaceabove=3\topsep, postheadspace=2em
]{exercs}
\declaretheorem[name=EXERCISES,style=exercs]{problems}
\begin{document}
\kant[1]
\begin{problems}
Solve these problems.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Do this one first.
\item Solve this next.
\end{enumerate}
\end{problems}
\end{document}
I do strongly prefer using the thmtools package method of styling and declaring theorem-like environments, because it seems to give greater control over them than amsthm alone.
Nonetheless, even the "raw" `amsthm" approach as shown, e.g., at Theoremstyle; leaving vertical space between the theorem header and the body of the theorem , merely moves the beginning of the "theorem" body so as to start on a new line; it doesn't seem to allow me to add extra vertical space:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}
\newtheoremstyle{exercises}% name
{\topsep}%Space above
{\topsep}%Space below
{\itshape}%Body font
{0pt}%Indent amount
{\bfseries}% Theorem head font
{}%Punctuation after theorem head
{\newline}%Space after theorem head
{}% theorem head specification
\theoremstyle{exercises}
\newtheorem{problems}{EXERCISES}
\begin{document}
\kant[1]
\begin{problems}
Solve these.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Do this one first.
\item Solve this next.
\end{enumerate}
\end{problems}
\end{document}

Here you are: it was enough to consider the line break as a punctuation:
