Cover whole region - landscape only.

[fillilutten]

I would like to display landscape photos on the whole region but portrait is working fine.

I think a bit of extra information would be helpful, as I'm not sure I understand.
Do you have your 'screen' horizontal or vertical? Could you share your configuration of this module?

I'm sorry for the really sparse info.
A horizontal screen, 1024x768. The images that are in portrait shows up just perfect but the landscape images, due to aspect ratio, doesn't cover the whole screen and makes most of them letterboxed with small black bars above and under the photo. I could live some cropping to not have them letterboxed since so little would get cropped out.

Bonus: Here's my setup. Your module made my fantasy about a Google photo digital frame real and got me into MM. Thanks! https://imgur.com/a/NGXxgUX

I think that would be possible to fix with some custom CSS. Do you need help with getting it sorted out?

I think this is what you need:

#GPHOTO_CURRENT {
	background-size:cover;
}

I used to use that one before but its cropping the portrait photos too much for my liking so I would like to only apply that css to landscape photos. Huge thanks for your help. Really kind of you. Vänligen, Jacob

I've tried to make it work with this (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/orientation) but can't get it to work.

I'm going through all the old open issues. Are you still working on this?

I'm thinking the original proposal is the best solution.
#GPHOTO_CURRENT {
background-size:cover;
}
You mention it cropped the images too much. I'm guessing the pi is displaying an area larger than the screen actually is. Is this possible? Can you change the pi's display settings to bring the displayed area closer to the screen you have?
