Cover block full width picture

I am trying to get a cover block to span across the whole page width stretching the image but I cannot find a setting to do it.

Hi @lorensimon the cover block on your home page seems to be full-width, did you figure it out?
Anyway, you can use the blocks toolbar options to make the block wider as shown in the screenshot below

I “kind of” figured it out but not fully. With a custom CSS on the image class I set the width to 100%. What I really wanted to do is set a max height so when the width is stretched the aspect ratio is constant, and the image is zoomed in. I am still playing with CSS to see if can achieve it.

success! Max-width and object-fit: cover did the trick.

Great to hear you figured this out and thank you for sharing the solution, @lorensimon.

How does this differ from the default behaviour? I would like to see if there is an opportunity to enhance the current functionality.

Thank you!
