Hi Jim,
You can still add background color or image for Section or Column. Nothing was removed.

On one of my sites, I still have SPPB 3.8 and I checked & compared.
In both SPPB 3.8 and SPPB 5.3.x - background color & background image is used for that same element, I mean Section (Row). Here is evidence.

in latest version there is no container field
- In SPPB 3.8 there was only "Container Width", no other Containers fields/options.
- In SPPB 5.x there is "Container Max Width".
Also, either you are interpreting wrongly, or you do not remember exactly how it was.
More details please, and check what settings you have.
Besides now you can add Row addon inside current Column.

in 3.8.10 you can choose betweet fluid row and no fluid row. so it changes the way the backround image is used. -> for whole section or just the container width. maybe i remember your product better than you do :)
many posts... but not the topic... in your screenshot -> yes background color, but no its fullwidth.
so i can not change to container width? have to put another row in there?

You still can do that :] Check those options "Fluid Row" and "Stretch Section" On/ Off (by default) -
I think I have to create a new video on my YT channel ;p

and "Stretch Section"
Hi Paul.
By the way, I just remembered the bug. Stretch option ceases to work correctly if the vertical alignment is ON

By default all content in Section has container.
But anytime you can use class names from bootstrap as well, for example, container
- In Section Settings > Custom Class Name add: container
- Then set margins: 0 auto

Hi.
I think you are mistaken. It never happened in 3.8.10.
If you need to have several columns and at the same time you need a background image as the size of the container, add the inner Row with the background image and divide this Row by the number of columns that you need.
If the column is only one, then add a background image to it (without using the inner Row)
Jim Asked this
well i've build some pages as i mentioned.
link in privat.
when you disable the "fluid-row" thing at version 3.8 you get the width of the container for background image.
and thats not possible in the new version.
as you can see... who is wrong? ;) crazy way to talk with customers.. by the way.

Hi Jim
I am not an employee of support, so I can’t see hidden content. However, I would be interested to look to understand the reason for the behavior of which you are talking about in 3.8. I believe that this cannot be, since the background image is applied to the <section> tag. Switching the "fluid-row" parameter cannot influence this.
Perhaps in version 3.8 you used a background image in the column settings but not in the section settings. This is the only explanation. Check your settings carefully
In v. 5 you can do the same

Right now, that Reception image in container looks weak. I would use it as background image with TEXT on it.
This saves space and gets call-to-action from guests faster.
Check how other Booking sites looks like.

Too long... also EU ... As long as we have freedom of speech.
As I said before BG image can be set for Section, Column, and also inside Addon.
Maybe @Pavel have other idea(s).
I think the best solution is: Create a mock-up and share link to that image, then it will be easier to advise something sensible because for now we are all guessing what you actually want.

Hi.
I do not understand what you expect as a solution. Perhaps you poorly explained your problem initially. This link finally confused me. The Image addon and custom css is used there.
If you want get the same but with using bg image instead of Image addon, use column settings
In version 3.8 was the same, and even less - there were no settings of the column height.
And it is when using the background image in the column settings that the "fluid-row" option in parent section works as you described above. There have never been options for a container.
Here is
Or, please be more clear.
