Newspaper v11.2: How to fill MX5 of Grid-1 with image of different h/v ratio?

Newspaper v11.2: How to fill MX5 of Grid-1 (h:534[px] x v:462[px] (ratio h/v = 0,865)) with picture h:1280[px] x v:606[px] (ratio h/v = 0,473)?

In settings for CATEGORY ( Newspaper -> Theme Panel -> Layout Settings -> CATEGORIES -> CATEGORY TOP POSTS STYLE ), in case of chosing Grid-1 https://ibb.co/RQzwLLk (is it the same what Big-Grid-1 at https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-blocks-modules/ ?) MX5 Module of Grid-1 has dimentioning of horizontal:534[px] x vertical:462[px] (ratio h/v = 0,865) https://ibb.co/r4ShCJW .

In case a picture with different dimentioning is set as Featured Image for a post and is currently displayed in MX5 Module of Grid-1, the MX5 module window is only partially filled out with the picture leaving – depending on the picture aspect ratio – substantial part of the MX5 Module window greyed out (or with greyish gradient), which looks bad.

The example shows a .JPG picture of h:1280[px] x v:606[px] (ratio h/v = 0,473) https://ibb.co/YbZg7K9 filing out only around 2/3 of the MX5 Module (h:534[px] x v:462[px] (ratio h/v = 0,865)) leaving blank / grey space at the bottom https://ibb.co/mG6ndjr .

QUESTION:
How to configure the Newspaper theme (or where / how add (what) additional code / CSS / other) for the picture to fill out the full area of MX5 h:534[px] x v:462[px] window WITHOUT cropping / processing the image/picture in an EXTERNAL image editor program?

NOTE-1:
Preffered way would be either:
– CROPPING the image (if possible with choosing if it’s cropped center-based, left/right/up/down-based)
or
– stretchng the image PROPORTIONALY (so that it’s not deformed) and showing only part of it in the MX5 window (in this case this would give propably a similar efect for a site viewer as the image cropping)

NOTE-2:
Similar question applies to all other blocks modules in the Newspaper theme ( https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-blocks-modules/ )

Thank you

Hi

What do you mean by “default template” here?
What do you mean by “old ones” elements?

Thank you

Hi

Thanks for the update but this problem is not related to Grid or Grid’s modules scalling / cropping but is releted to adjusting a (featured) image (by either cropping or proportionally re-scalling that image) by Newspaper theme, so that this picture fits into particular Newspaper theme module window: Module_MX5 in this case (from Grid_1)

Yes, your instuction was followed, meaning:
– 534×462 Thumb was enabled in Newspaper theme -> BLOCK SETTINGS https://ibb.co/gwgmJL9
(https://www.screencast.com/t/N18dR3qZrh)
– Regenerate Thumbnails plugin was installed and used (https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/)

After the featured image was actually modified as in the instructions, it’s fitting much better to MX5 Module window: https://ibb.co/GFN9Jzf.

Could you please elaborate why earlier you wrote that
“standard elements, already customized which you can not customize it” ?
while it looks like it was acctually possible to adjust (customize?) the feature image ?

Please axplain also:
what do you mean by “default template” here?
what do you mean by “old ones” elements?

Thank you
