I think i found out why! I was trying to use it for a group that wasn't a super group, and it didn't work there. But it did work on my premium account. I think it's just a feature you have to pay for lol

I looked at a trouble-shooting guide and it said to put the image over the coding of the background. (This may only work for images.)
The trouble-shooting guide is here:
Custom Box - Troubleshooting + FAQCustom Boxes
Quite a few people still seem to have issues with getting their custom box backgrounds to work correctly so I thought I'd put this little troubleshooting guide and FAQ together to help. If you follow the instructions closely, you shouldn't have any problems.
If you encounter any issues that aren't explained here, please let me know. I will update this guide with any extra info or solutions as they are requested.
You can read more about customising your profile page here.
The Basics
Copy the code above and paste into a Custom box on your profile page. Replace the green text with your background

Well deviant art sends you notifications that normal deviants don't get, and you can rearrange your profile, but that's about it

you can use a custom box's URL and go to this:
paste your URL there and press get code. if your image isn't stretchy enough, you can do it like i did. I just centered it. do whatever you need to do on the generator.
