 * I would like to know if anyone is having the same problem as me regarding black
   borders on top-bottom of the supersized featured imaged?
    Sometimes background
   images consume all the window area and sometimes they do not (a black background
   is displayed). My images have all the same height, should i go for all having
   the same width? The black background is always shown when viewing the page on
   mobile versions. Is there a way to define responsive featured images for non-
   desktop browsers?

 * It should work with your images even if they are not the same size – there could
   be something with the particular site that is causing issues – Do you have a 
   link to the site you are having problems with I’d be able to take a look at?

 * Hi Chris
 * my site is blog.faiakas.gr. Transitions are set at 1 minute, however you can 
   refresh the page to see another background image. I guess the problem can be 
   seen if you refresh 4-5 times.

 * So there seems to be a CSS rule that is targeting `img, video, object, embed`
   and setting `height: auto !important`
 * This height is overriding the height that is being set by the Supersized library–
   If you can adjust this rule so that it does not affect the supersized img tags,
   it looks like it should work ok.

 * Hi Chris
 * spot on, i found the rules overriding your styles for images. I commented them
   out and this seems to do the trick. However now I see that on a 4:3 monitor the
   width is squeezed, so the images look a bit compressed. But on the original issue
   i can confirm that black lines are not seen anymore.
