Adjusting Default Crop for Section Background Images

Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm updating from 7.0 to 7.1 and there are lots of things I love!

One of the things I don't love is how the background images for sections are horribly cropped. It seems to default to cropping the top of the image instead of the bottom (see attached screen shots).

The very first section on most of my pages is a full bleed image -- no text. In the past, I was able to get the crop right by adjusting the focus point and adding some spacers, but I cannot get it right unless I make the very first section VERY tall. And that still doesn't exactly work.

Is there any solution here?

If the background image setting isn't working why don't you use an image block and stretch it to the full width and set it to FILL in the image settings, then you can have it show what you want without it disappearing behind the tall header (as it always will.)
