 * Hi Frank.
 * Still loving your plugin years and multiple sites later.
 * I’m currently working on a page with a uber-widescreen video: [http://triggerfish.wpengine.com/khumba/](http://triggerfish.wpengine.com/khumba/)–
   not using Lyte at this stage. The dimensions are more like 1237 x 519, so when
   I use your standard 1280 size, i get black bars top and below. I normally add
   a custom image over this, so then this has the fit the full-height, including
   black bars. I much prefer the dimensions of the actual video, as there’s less
   chance of anyone needing to scroll to see the full pic in their browser.
 * Is there a simple way to specify a custom image size and over-ride the 1280 setting?
 * Let me know. Thanks so much.

 * guess you could change the CSS for the background of the .pL class, overriding
   the default one;
 *     ```
       .lyMe iframe, .lyte iframe,.lyte .pL{
       	position:absolute;
       	top:0;
       	left:0;
       	width:100%;
       	height:100%!important;
       	background:no-repeat scroll center #000;
       	background-size:cover;
       	cursor:pointer
       }
       ```
   
 * (I would only override for .lyte .pL, not for the other two)
 * hope this helps,
    frank
