Strip images get so stretched out on 4k monitors that the cropping looks very odd. I’m trying to think of options to fix this.
-
Use Corvid to control browser zoom if a window is larger than 1080p (200% on a 4k window would emulate a 1080p window for example)
-
Give strips a vertical stretch as well, maybe a % of any given user screen size
-
Dynamically increase strip margins when a screen size over 1080p is found
Are any of these achievable with Corvid?
It’s extremely hard to design images that can crop at the 4k landscape ratio while simultaneously displaying at the mobile portrait ratio as well; I find this an inherent shortcoming of how Wix strips currently work.
Although this is a non-descript image, it illustrates how the crop changes between 1080p and 4k which can easily cause issues on images more sensitive to cropping.
1080p (design intent):
4k:
@jmarsh4087 did you ever find a solution to this? I am fairly new to Wix and experiencing the same issues. It’s hard to find a happy medium between mobile, 1080 and 4K. Even font sizes don’t seem to accommodate 4K resolution.
Not really. I’m not sure why they refuse to make a simple update to how strips work vertically. It could just be a % of the given screen, but anyways… I had to just pick something in between.
There’s a scenario where you can duplicate your pages and use Corvid (or whatever non-Covid name they changed it to now) to redirect 4k users to the “special” version of the page. I had to do this for the homepage of my firm’s website because I had constant complaints that the website isn’t working on the partner’s 2.5k monitors or some weird size. So yeah… I have a duplicated homepage and I hate it and Wix doesn’t care about me. 
Yeah, it does seem like a big disappointment on Wix’s behalf. All the sites that I design manually, I use screen scaling to increase/decrease font sizes based on screen res, but my client wanted a self manageable site (hence Wix). But it is resulting in a poor user experience across screen sizes. I really thought this stuff should be ‘out of the box’ these days.
Agree. I get complaints about things I can’t fix all the time. But I’m also not a web dev, so it is what it is. I asked this 3 years ago and talked to support multiple times about it, but there seems to be no plan to improve it.
