Homepage post element background image

I’m using the Homepage post element to put a specific post at the top of the homepage. The element does show the post but the featured image (from the post) is expanded and inserted into the homepage as the page background with the Homepage post block opaque. I wish to turn off the use of the featured image as page background and leave it in the post block so that it looks the same as all the other posts, just at the top of page just below the header. How do I do this?

Hi Bettina,

Here is the homepage without the Homepage post element.

I wish to have a specific post at the top of the content for the home page. The Homepage element does this.
I wish to have the article not change the homepage background. I want the “top post” to look like the rest of the picture/title blocks, leaving the white space (background of content section) as is. The Homepage post element should look like the original post picture/title.

As you can see the Homepage element changes the background for the content block to the featured image of the post selected in the Homepage element filter.
Is there a way to turn off the change in background by the Homepage post element?

Yes, Flex Box One does work. I thought having the Homepage post element able to be modified by user would make the element more usable.
