Hi Will,
Yes, we implement this part via CSS3 property ‘background-size: cover‘ and this property haven’t been supported in IE8 yet. There’s a workaround below for this matter but it’s buggy as well:
Please open the custom.css file (just create a new one if you don’t have), more detail can be found here.
Then add the following declarations to this custom.css file :
.hero-unit {
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='.your-bg-image.jpg', sizingMethod='scale');
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='your-bg-image.jpg', sizingMethod='scale')";
}
.portfolio {
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='.your-bg-image-2.jpg', sizingMethod='scale');
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='your-bg-image-2.jpg', sizingMethod='scale')";
}
Please make sure, you change your background image accordingly.
Hope it helps.
