I'm sorry if this thread does not belong in this category, please move it if necessary.

I was just wondering what the standard 'background' size for a user profile is. I made a BG in photoshop yesterday at 1920x1080px, which is what most sites said was the 'standard' size, and lo and behold it ended up being too small. When i tried the "background-size: cover" tag it cropped out the bottom of my image, so i tried using the XXXpx by XXXpx tags and that made it work on my pc but not my tablet. I have the ability to resize the image i just cannot for the life of me figure out what size to make it so that it actually fits on everyones screen, just like i see on most user profiles. I've even been scouring page sources to try to figure it out myself but nobody seems to specify any kind of size in their code, so i figure its probably the size of the actual image that ive got wrong. Until i figure out what size will work i wont be able to make any actual profiles, so im using a premade now. HHeeelllpppp!

Any suggestions, please ping me!

idk what everyone else does but I add a background color to the coding. THe image is just it's size and the background color fills in whatever is left over, no matter the size of the views screen

I think most people like myself either use solid background colors or repeating patterned backgrounds plus a non-repeating image in the middle so it looks okay on all screens^^
