#### WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND Being able to change the size of an object cover. #### HOW COULD IT BE DONE Adding a design option to change size of your cover to small, medium and big. #### REAL WORLD USE CASES I don’t know if it’s the case for others, but for me, the covers occupy half of the window. So, in pages where I have a list of linked pages, I have to scroll down to select the ones I want to enter, therefore slowing my workflow. Being able to set smaller covers in that pages would fix this issue. #### RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES Making my UI smaller but then the objects are very small for me. ---

This is absolutely needed, like you said, almost half of my notes is wasted by covers. There should be an option to modify cover height. ---

100% agree ! Having a little but of colour / image on top of a page is nice… but we should be able to define its height in pixels ! If that is too much to ask, then Small / Medium / Large, yes… _with the current situation being the Large option_ ---

You should even be able to decide if you want the title to overlap the cover !!! ![image](https://community-static.anytype.io/original/2X/3/332cd97b14b920d345e3e58b3c461029daa3f605.jpeg) ---

Maybe that can be accomplished with more ‘Layout Types’, As of now we have Basic, Profile, Action, Note. Other options like Compact, Multi-Column, Custom, Etc… ![Screenshot from 2023-11-21 07-32-07](https://community-static.anytype.io/original/2X/0/025420d41bb85f5134a10f0baf80724c92b9337f.png) The image is the Basic Layot and uses too much space. ---

I come back to this topic because I have the theory that the cover size has something to do with screen size. My friend who uses Anytype on a desktop computer has no problem with covers, they are the right size. However, I use Anytype on a laptop, and my pages with covers look like this: ![Captura de pantalla 2024-03-16 004523](https://community-static.anytype.io/original/2X/4/47be6ef146fe7ed9a49630ab727055f1ce13302a.png) I post this image because maybe devs think this FR is an aesthethic-only thing but that’s far from reality. This is sad because I can’t use a great feature that this app has and I don’t think this size is how it should be, at all. ---

I eventually decided to remove the cover image altogether… I loved the ability to show it when you link the page on another one & display it as a card … but the nuisance of it on the very page outweighs the pleasure to see a beautiful card on another page. Hopefully, Any2 will do better ---

Noted, it’d be an easy fix/implementation once we get to it.
