Why can BeTheme not "scale UP + cover" wrap BG images like other Themes?

Hello,

we´ve been using BeTheme for little over a year now and despite constant updates there is one thing missing which keeps BeTheme behind other Themes in terms of truly efficient responsive design layouts.

After inspecting several BeTheme Demos, it seems obvious that all designs were optimized for 1920px width screens AND BELOW but NOT ABOVE.
Most BeTheme Demo layouts start to break (gaps appear between wraps) once you scale your browser beyond 1920px width. (either on a higher resolution screen or in my case: stretching the browser over two separate screens)

Please have a look at this visual comparison. (BG cover: Salient vs. BeTheme)

For some reason BeTheme BG images in wraps can not scale up to cover the entire wrap-background. The only work around to this problem in BeTheme is to use very large images that can always be scaled down but never need to be scaled up = image filesizes increase substantially.

Am I missing something or why has this not been fixed/implemented for so long?

Thanks for your support and time!

Hi,

our "to do" list is so large that we had no time to do this yet but it's on the list of course. We also hope it would be added soon.

Thanks!

Since the theme is already incredibly feature-laden I would prefer the addon/fix of such basic layout functions before new features are added. Not sure other user´s feel the same way, but I guess most of them are not even aware of the "problem".

Thanks for the honest answer though ;-).
