Can background image adjusts to screen size?

Hi,
Can a background image adjust to the screensize?

The image looks fine in the background as normal screen, but when the 'expand screen' button is clicked, the background image looks stretched. Please can you let me know. Many thanks. Anne

Hi Anne

No, background images are just made to fit the current screen dimensions so they can appear stretched. At some point we would like to do some more work on making images etc. more responsive to screen size so this is something I will look at then.

You could always try:

This resizes the image proportionally, rather than stretching, but you might not be happy with it zooming in on large screens or cutting off some of the image on smaller screens. Sadly doesn't work with IE.

I tend to use background images on title pages only, but I get around the stretching issue (and IE compatibility) by having the image as a pseudo element. You could do something similar by just adding this to the CSS (and removing the background image field from the main learning object page):
