How could I make the following carousel fill only 60% of screen size (without scrolling) so the remaining 40% can be used by panels directly below it. Images would have to shrink along with carousel depending on desktop screen-size to fill only 60%.
Please note: I have looked at the post Bootstrap change carousel height, and tried changing
.carousel-inner{
height: 60%px;
}
.item, img{
height: 100% !important;
width: 100% !important;
border: 1px solid red;
}
but without success.
The code for my current layout is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
