I find the page hero too tall...

Is there a size of image I should be using? I'm finding it seems rather tall, but I can't seem to figure out what setting to change so that doesn't happen...
Also, when scrolled fully up on the page, when I then expand and shrink the browser to see how it looks, it seems to make the page hero even bigger without showing the text down below. I'm not sure what causes that? Can it be turned off... like some setting where the hero image only gets so big?
So far the image I'm using is just a sample to try a hero image out. I'm not wanting something where you have to scroll so much. Changing the size of the image so that it is shorter did not seem to help... it just scales it to fit.
Thanks.
Hi there,
Looks like you have full screen option turned on.
If you turn it off then the page hero height is determined by the top and bottom padding:

You currently have 400px for the top and 50px at the bottom:

Let me know if this helps :)
I just changed it from 400px to 100px and the height of the image did not change at all.
Did you turn off full screen?
When I didn't have "full screen" on, the content was way down at the bottom. I wanted it centered.
Can you apply it so I can see the issue?
You will have to turn off full screen if you want to make it smaller, because full screen is full screen.
Ok. It's now working... but when I first started it was stuck at the bottom no matter what I did... when I turned on full screen that seemed to fix it. Now that I turned it off it is working fine. I'm not sure why... perhaps there is some other setting that fixed it? I don't know.
So it's all working?
It seems to be! I don't know why, but it is. Anyway, thanks! I've just started using this theme, so it's all very new to me.
I agree that page hero can be confusing when you first started because of the number of options available.
Looks like you've found our page hero examples page already so that's definitely a good start :)
Yep. That was very helpful and I added in the custom css too. It does seem to work well. Now that I figured it out. Hopefully my next one won't cause me too many issues.
We will be happy to help if run into more problems :)
Hi there!
I have the same issue, but I don't find that "full screen" checkbox.
The padding options come right after the "horizontal alignment" option
Hi there,
the full screen option only appears if the on the Site Header tab you have this set to merged.
