Extending header image in MOBILE to edges of screen?

[keithmoore43]

Been working on my problem with the header in my Genesis Sample theme.

I've got the image extending the length of the screen on my desktop, but my ongoing problem has been this header image getting cut in half when I view it on my iPhone 6. However I created a smaller version of the header in Photoshop and it now shows up completely on my iPhone, but doesn't extend to the edges, along with adding some ugly padding beneath it.

Here is the code I used to get this image sort of working on my iphone:

@media screen and (max-width: 800px) and (min-width: 320px)
{
.header-image .site-title > a{
background: url('http://keith-moore.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/iphone-header.jpg') no-repeat;
width: auto;
}
}

I've also played with width:100% to no avail. Any ideas I could try?

Many thanks...

background-size: cover; will scale the background image to be as large as possible so that the background area is completely covered by the image

background-size: contain; will scale the image to the largest size such that both its width and its height can fit inside the content area

I appreciate the response, Victor.

When I use "background-size: cover;" for this particular @media screen, I get a header that's cut off, and looking a bit oversized and pixalated. When I use "background-size: contain" I get the original header image fitting within my iPhone screen, but it doesn't extend to the edges of the screen like the desktop version does.

Also, both options reveal the original green border underneath the header image--and when it's set to "contain" I get a larger green padding area underneath the image even if I set the padding to zero.

So...do I need to set my background AREA differently in mobile so the image knows where to fit?
