Remove page margins and title?

[james_n]

This is the first time I've used Canvas.  The default border and auto-inserted title are extremely detracting to me.  Can the global css be edited to remove the page title and set the page margin to 0px,0px,0px,0px?  Or through some other method?

That screenshot looks like your institution has setup a lot of custom CSS already; the default Canvas look is much simpler. I recommend you contact your institution's Canvas administrators and provide them with feedback about the appearance of pages.

Sorry for misleading you.  The image is a photoshop mockup. 

Although I have a strong background in HTML, Javascript, css, etc., today is literally the first time I've touched Canvas.  I'm poking around trying to figure out how to edit the css to turn of the page margins and remove the pre-inserted title.  The image is an altered screenshot of a sample page. 

Regardless of whether I do that screen with an embedded image or with HTML code, I find myself hindered by the predefined margins. 

I am a programmer for a large school district.  This is our first year with Canvas.  I'm evaluating this for some self-paced coursework.   🙂

Deactivated user​, I'm going to move your question to the Canvas Developers​ group, where it will garner focus from experts in this area. If you're not already a member of the group, joining is just a click or two away.

Easiest thing is to edit the global CSS.

Removing page titles would be:

#wiki_page_show h1.page-title {
    display: none;
}

It's actually a padding and not a margin that you want to edit if I'm understanding you correctly.

.pages.show .show-content {
    padding: 0px;
}

To edit the CSS for Canvas, you would have to add a custom CSS file to your account.

How do I add custom JavaScript and CSS files to my account?
