[css] Bootstrap change carousel height

I have a jsfiddle here - http://jsfiddle.net/gh4Lur4b/8/

It's a full width bootstrap carousel.

I'd like to change the height and still keep it full width.

Is the height determined by the image height.

How can I chanhe the height of the carousel and keep it 100% width.

    .carousel-inner{
       // height: 300px;
    }

    .item, img{
        height: 100% !important;
        width:  100% !important;
        border: 1px solid red;
    }

For Bootstrap 4

In the same line as image add height: 300px;

<img src="..." style="height: 300px;" class="d-block w-100" alt="image">

like Answers above, if you do bootstrap 4 just add few line of css to .carousel , carousel-inner ,carousel-item and img as follows

.carousel .carousel-inner{
height:500px
}
.carousel-inner .carousel-item img{
min-height:200px;
//prevent it from stretch in screen size < than 768px
object-fit:cover
}

@media(max-width:768px){
.carousel .carousel-inner{
//prevent it from adding a white space between carousel and container elements
height:auto
 }
}

From Bootstrap 4

.carousel-item{
    height: 200px;
} 
.carousel-item img{
    height: 200px;
}

Thank you! This post is Very Helpful. You may also want to add

object-fit:cover;

To preserve the aspect ration for different window sizes

.carousel .item {
  height: 500px;
}

.item img {
    position: absolute;
    object-fit:cover;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    min-height: 500px;
}

For bootstrap 4 and above replace .item with .carousel-item

.carousel .carousel-item {
  height: 500px;
}

.carousel-item img {
    position: absolute;
    object-fit:cover;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    min-height: 500px;
}

You can use this. Tt is simplest way.

.carousel-item{
    height: 200px;
} 
.carousel-item img{
    height: 200px;
}

This worked for me.

.carousel-item {
  height: 500px;
}

.item, img{
    position: absolute;
    object-fit:cover;
    height: 100% !important;
    width:  100% !important;
    /*min-height: 500px;*/
}
