To overlay widgets, the image or gallery must be applied as a background to the block, but the behavior of these background elements frequently crops the background out of view. (e.g. wide backgrounds seen on tall phone screens)

Proposing the option to have a block read the aspect ratio of the background image or background gallery to set the min-height value for the block, such that cropping can be avoided while still providing the ability to overlay widgets in a dynamic fashion. For example:
