I am using the ClassicThesis with the ArsClassica package, which I love very much, but I have a problem with the vertical spacing in the list of figures between figures of different chapters.
My understanding is that ClassicThesis does not include an automatic vertical space between these figures, which is what I get when I run the code. Therefore I tried to add the vertical space in the following ways (I tried these one at a time):
%\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\setlength{\cftbeforechapskip}{5pt}}
%\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\vspace{-\cftbeforechapskip}}
Neither is working, i.e. there is no vertical space added and the list of figures stays at it is (please see the picture of the current state). I have also checked other proposed solutions, but none has worked thus far.
If somebody can help me with finding the correct code, that would be great!
Thanks!

\deactivateaddvspacefrom classicthesis.sty doing. Delete those several lines or renew it to \relax (What you tried doesn't make much sense to me, btw) – PhilipPirrip Mar 23 '18 at 12:12
