I’m looking to decrease the space between text (and button) elements on the home page slider. Ideally, I’d like to increase the size of the “subhead” text, too.

The smaller top text shown in the attached is the original layout, vs. the larger text nestled closer to the word “yewww” which is desired. I’ve tried to adjust as many of the padding / margin css settings but can’t seem to locate the css to adjust that. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @luvlyandwilde

You can try to follow this step
Step 1: Go to Edit code
Step 2: Find file main.css and add this code at the end of the file

.text-overlay__subheading.subheading.subheading--over.has-motion {
    margin-bottom: -38px !important;
}
