 * I’ve put a background image to my zerif lite page. It only shows about 1/3 part
   of the picture’s upper part, so the rest of the picture (2/3 part of it) is not
   visible. In earlier versions I was able to use the same photo and it was placed
   so that the whole photo was visible in the big title section. Then I deleted 
   the theme and downloaded it later again. Now no matter which buttons I press (
   no repeat, tile, horizontally, scroll, fixed…), you cannot see any change.

 * I think the problem is the computer you’re using: the site is responsive, so 
   I put a picture I saw in my wide screen pc, but I can see in other devices..so
   I want to know if is possible to resize in any way.

 * As alebrigato mentioned,
 * This happens because you’re using a different device (most likely).
    We’ll try
   to fix this so the background would resize according to the device’s screen. 
   Even so, it’s pretty much impossible to do it without cropping the image, just
   think of the difference between a monitor display and mobile display (Monitor:
   Width >> Height, Mobile: Width << Height).
 * Best regards,
    Marius

 * Yes Marius, it is correct and is like a YouYube or a LinkedIn Cover for example,
   but could be useful to resize the uploaded image, crop it or simply positioning
   in the screen.. Without using a editing photo software..!
