RE: Billboard layout getting vertical scroll

The first thing, almost too obvious to mention, is to make sure you're using the TALL height setting and the FULL overlay.

If it's only off by a little, you can try adjusting the margin below each of your card layouts and the components inside them. Make sure all the labels are set to HIDDEN or ADJACENT. Even an empty ABOVE label adds some extra height. That can apply to the cards themselves and to all of the contents of the cards. Shave off a few pixels here and there for each card and you might have enough to squeeze it in.

You can add column layouts, or a side-by-side layout to put the three card layouts next to each other, provided that works for your interface.

With the new AUTO height feature in 19.4, you can make the background image large enough to contain any number of components you need and avoid the scroll bar. If you wanted just a plain background color, you can take a screenshot of the color you want, open MS Paint, make a rectangle the size you need filled entirely with that color, save it as a PNG, and use that as your background image.
