@phantasyreign replied to your post “Fellow theme makers -- has anyone else noticed...”:
Yeah, I've encountered similar situation. Upon inspection, apparently the image in the photoset is set to object-fit cover - this one is set by default. If you go to my Theme 13's code, search for npf_row and copy the said code. Hopefully, that will help.
Thanks! I've already implemented a similar fix on a couple of my themes, and it does do the trick. My issue is that when multiple photos of different sizes are in a row, it looks... pretty bad. Here's a sample from my current theme, take a look at that last row of images.
I do prefer the object-fit:contain; fix overall, but it bugs the absolute hell out of me that all images crop in even when there's no need to. One image filling the entire width of the post should not need to chop off the edges. Nor should a properly sized photoset.
My best theory is that it's a mismatch between the dash being 540px wide and most of my themes only being 500px wide? But I really don't know.
Either way, I really do appreciate the reply 💞 and I love your themes, by the way. You've got a very distinct style that I enjoy.
