To make the background cover the entire screen in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the section or element you want to set the background for. This can be the entire page or a specific section within it.
  2. In the Style panel, navigate to the Background section.
  3. Click on the background type dropdown menu and select "Image".
  4. Upload or select the image you want to use as the background. Ensure that the image is of sufficient resolution to cover the entire screen.
  5. In the Background settings, click on the "Cover" option. This will resize the image to cover the entire available space, stretching or shrinking it as necessary.
  6. If needed, you can also adjust the positioning of the background image using the "Position" settings. This can help align the image in a specific way if it doesn't look right with the default settings.
