I have the following box, but I want to change a bit the margins from all the sides. Is it possible to set custom margins (i.e., control where the text starts and ends)? Also I want to move the subtitles a bit to the left. Note that the text should start before the subtitles, as currently start of text and subtitles are aligned.

\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
\usepackage{tikz}

 \newtcolorbox{openningbox}[2]{
    colback = white,
    colframe = black,
    before upper = \tcbsubtitle{\tikz{\node[draw=black,fill=white,line width=1pt,rounded corners=3.5pt,font=\bfseries\color{black}]{\rule[-.3\baselineskip]{0pt}{\baselineskip}\normalsize\sffamily\bfseries\normalfont ~~\textbf{Experiment} #1~~};}},
    before lower = \tcbsubtitle{\tikz{\node[draw=black,fill=white,line width=1pt,rounded corners=3.5pt,font=\bfseries\color{black}]{\rule[-.3\baselineskip]{0pt}{\baselineskip}\normalsize\sffamily\bfseries\normalfont ~~\textbf{Experiment} #2~~};}},
    subtitle style = {
      enhanced,
      interior hidden,
      frame hidden,
      top=-0.8cm
    },
    boxrule=1pt,
    arc=2.5pt,
    sidebyside,
    sidebyside align = top,
    enhanced,
    segmentation style = {solid,line width=1pt}
  }

  • You might want to have a look at section "2 Quick Reference" of the tcolorbox documentation. May 31 at 10:25
  • @samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Apparently setting just left also moves only the text on the left part of the box, and does not affect the right column that much.

  • @samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Is it possible to set the distance to segmentation line from left and right somehow?

  • About segmentation. You have some examples in page 156 and 158. You can draw it with some shift from segmentation anchors

This is an alternative definition of OP's openningbox.

Main changes are:

  • Title and subtitle are replaced with an attach boxed title to top and a \node added through an overlay option. We could also use two overlay options to be sure that geometry of title is the same.
  • Text margins are adjusted with left and right parameters. Inner gap between side by side paragraphs is fixed with sidebyside gap.
  • sidebyside align=top works with the help of yshift* option in boxed title.
  • segmentation rule can be shortened with shorten options in its style.

The code is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
\usepackage{tikz}

 \newtcolorbox{openningbox}[2]{
     enhanced,
    colback = white,
    colframe = black,
     title = {\textbf{Experiment}~#1~~},
     coltitle=black,
     boxed title style={colframe=black, colback=white},
     attach boxed title to top left={yshift*=-\tcboxedtitleheight/2, xshift=5mm},
     overlay={\node[rounded corners=2.5pt, line width=1pt, draw, anchor=west, fill=white, inner xsep=3mm, inner ysep=1.25mm] at ([xshift=5mm]segmentation.north) {\textbf{Experiment}~#2~~};},
    boxrule=1pt,
    boxsep=0pt,
    left=2mm,
    right=2mm,
    sidebyside gap=4mm,
    arc=2.5pt,
    sidebyside,
    sidebyside align = top,
    enhanced,
    segmentation style = {solid,line width=1pt, shorten >=1cm, shorten <=1cm}
  }
