Description These Background Images are free for use on Deviantart Only!

->Please do not use these for anything beyond Custom Box Backgrounds
->Feel free to edit/recolour!
->Please link back to me if you use these
----------------------------------------------------------

Custom Box content with these backgrounds will look best if contained within an extra 'box'.

See my main page for examples.

See =somrat 's gallery for code to create these extra boxes around your content.


----------------------------------------------------------
To use these BGs please follow the instructions below!:
1. Download the Zip folder containing all of the BG images. (Download link on top right of page)

2. Find the downloaded zip folder and unzip it.

3. Upload your chosen BG image to your Deviantart SCRAPS, along with a link back to me in the upload's description. (Failure to do this will be claiming the image as your own which you do not have permission to do!)

4. Copy the code below and paste it into your custom box.


<**/div><**/div>

YOUR CONTENT GOES HERE<**/div>
(remember to remove the *s from the above code or it will not work)

5. Fullview the BG image uploaded to your scraps and right click on it. Choose "copy Image url", "Copy Image location", or something to that effect. (It may be slightly different depending on your browser).

6.Go back to your custom box code and paste your copied url where it says "IMAGE URL GOES HERE"

7. Type your custom box content where it says "CONTENT GOES HERE".

8.Save your custom box!

Thanks! It won't work for you because you're not a premium member . These BGs are for use with custom boxes only. Free members do not have access to custom boxes, I'm sorry

ahh it's for use in a group? You didn't say that..you just linked me to the upload on your own account . Please explain in what way it didn't work. When there is an issue with code, you need to be very specific.

Actually it looks like you didnt follow the instructions quite right.

From viewing the entire Pages source code (please next time you ask someone for assistance with code..actually show them the exact code you are using and having issues with, it would have saved me time in trying to assist you here )..I found that the url you seem to be using for the background image is this-> [link]

this is not an image url. It is a webpage url . As per the instructions in the description above, you need to fullview an image on DA, right-click the actual image and choose 'copy image location' (or something similar). All image urls need to end in an image file extension like gif, or png, jpg, etc.

So..the url for the link you were using is this -> [link]

the url for the image you have in your scraps is this-> [link]

hahaha no worries! Sometimes I spend an hour or more trying to fix something that's borked and I can't figure out why..only to realize suddenly it's something as simple as an extra space or comma somewhere, etc xD;

theyre perfect! thanks so much for making those!!
But do you happen to know how to change the individual colour stripes, or i have to change all the colours? Thanks! >.<

firstfear In reply to Toteruu [2011-09-01 02:46:53 +0000 UTC]

Could you explain your question a bit more? I'm not sure I understand what you're having problems with

You should be able to use a fill(bucket) tool and click on the colour you wish to change within the picture. In some programs it will only recolour that individual space of colour, but if you're using Photoshop and have 'contiguous' unchecked (no checkmark), it will fill all that colour in the image with your new colour . You find 'contiguous' along the top towards the right when you have 'options' selected under 'Window'.
