Home Featured widgets (or header/home image) in Balance child theme

[Tanya]

Hello!

I'm using Balance child theme.
My question is about the Home Featured Left and Home Featured Right widgets. Here http://tanyavega.com/ I have a picture in Home Featured Left widget and subsription form in Home Featured Right widget.
Is it somehow possible to make that picture (which is now only in half size, in Home Featured Left widget) in full size - so that it would fill both widgest (whole Home Featured block)?

Or maybe I shouldn't use these two widgets at all. - How can I make this picture to be in full size in this case? Like here (made in Photoshop): http://tanyavega.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/How.jpg

Thank you in advance!

You would have to use only one widget, home-widget-left and make it full width 960px, and then remove the home-widget-right.

Ok, see now http://tanyavega.com/ - Here I use only one widget (home-widget-left) and it naturally fills only it's area (so it's onle one half of whole this block). I need it to kinda fill both widget areas (so the whole block like I showed here http://tanyavega.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/How.jpg).

What did you mean saying "make it full width 960px" ? How can I make it full width? - That's what I actually want (to be it in full width).
Now the picture itself is 1200 px. I can change it to 960px but it wont change the situation (it still will fill only half of the area I need).

Do you know how to change things in style.css? That is where you change the width of the left widget.

Hello, emasai!

I should remove the hole this code:

.home-featured-right {
	background: url(images/dashes-bg.png) #d05353;
	border: 5px solid #fff;
	float: right;
	font-size: 16px;
	margin: -50px 0;
	width: 430px;
}

.home-featured-right,
.home-featured-right p,
.home-featured-right h4.widgettitle {
	color: #fff;
	text-shadow: #a64242 -1px -1px;
	text-align: center;
}

.home-featured-right p {
	font-size: 16px;
	margin-bottom: 20px;
}

.home-featured-right .widget {
	margin: 35px;
}

.home-featured-right h4.widgettitle {
	font-size: 26px;
	margin-bottom: 20px;
}

.home-featured-right input[type=text] {
	-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 2px 1px #eee;
	-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 2px 1px #eee;
	background: #fff url(images/email-icon.png) no-repeat 16px 15px;
	border-bottom: none;
	border-left: 1px solid #963c3c;
	border-right: none;
	border-top: 1px solid #963c3c;
	box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px 1px #eee;
	color: #bbb;
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif;
	font-size: 9px;
	padding: 14px 15px 14px 45px;
	text-transform: uppercase;
	width: 180px;
}

#home-featured .home-featured-right input[type=submit] {
	background: url(images/email-button.png) no-repeat !important;
	border: none;
	font-size: 0;
	height: 28px;
	margin: 0 0 0 15px;
	line-height: 0;
	text-indent: -9999px;
	width: 26px;
}

Am I right?
And then I should change the home-featured-left width to 960px instead of 480, right?

go to line 523 of your style.css and replace the code by this

#home-featured .wrap {
    padding: 0;
}

Line No 527 and replace the code by this

.home-featured-left {
    float: left;
    width: 960px;
}

.home-featured-left img.centered, .home-featured-left .aligncenter{ margin: 0 auto;}

.home-featured-right{display: none;}

Hi,

On line 523 I have this:

.header-image #title,

	

On line 527:

display: block;

Is this something like what you want?

Not exactly. I want it to be like here: http://tanyavega.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/How.jpg

[Tanya]

Should I replace only this part

.home-featured-left {
	float: left;
	width: 480px;
}

with your code

.home-featured-left {
    float: left;
    width: 960px;
}

.home-featured-left img.centered, .home-featured-left .aligncenter{ margin: 0 auto;}

.home-featured-right{display: none;}

??

[Genesis Developer]

yes. 100%

It worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

Maybe it would be better also to remove this light grey background behind this pic. Could you advise how to do that?
Thanks again!

[Genesis Developer]

search this #home-featured and remove the background
