[Tex/LaTex] How to change the title position for list of figures and table of contents

positioningtable of contentstitletoctocloft

I have used a style for the toc and lof title but the position is a little bit far from the top of the page and i want to make it more closer to the header

Here is a complete example

    \setcounter{section}{0}
    \chapter*{#2}
    \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{#2}
}

\renewcommand\thechapter{\Roman{chapter}}

\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\MakeUppercase{#1}}{}}

%\usepackage{tocloft}

Before

After using

 \usepackage{tocloft}                                              
 \renewcommand\cftbeforetoctitleskip{-2cm}
 \renewcommand\cftbeforeloftitleskip{-2cm}
 \renewcommand\cftbeforelottitleskip{-2cm}

after

the two titles are overlapping and the style previously defined have changed but instead i want just to change the position and keep the font size /color

Thanks

Best Answer

The solution was to change the titleFormat using a negative value for vspace like below:

\titleformat{name=\chapter,numberless}[display]
  {\normalfont\color{yourcolor}}
  {}
  {1ex}
  {\vspace{-20ex}\huge\sffamily\itshape\center}
  []        
   \titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{50pt}{40pt}
