Description
READ FAQ BEFORE ASK (i will not answer FAQ questions anymore. I just delete your notification.)
Also READ COMMENTS BEFORE ASK(most problems answered there too. I really have no time to support this app anymore)
Warning: No more updates. This app stays as it is now. Why? Because Flash is essentially dead now. Browsers stop to support it etc. I might be create a HTML5 version of this app IF deviantART let us upload web apps in the future (as Newgrounds does). Until then this stays without any further improvements or updates. Thank you for all your comments and support I got for this app. It was a pleasure. I will respond and help as I can. This will not change. It changed 
Warning 2.0: With the new deviantart design called Eclipse this app will die along with the whole custom background code community for sure.
This little app generate Custom Box Background code after you provide an image url to it. This is the easiest way to get HTML code that makes your profile look awesome.
Tutorial video: youtu.be/WNnUhSB6QPQ
You can check preview after you generated code. Pressing CTRL+C (or CMD+C if you are Mac user) button will automatically copy the code for you, so you can paste it in the custom box.
Commissions are not open for code! (I edited this part so it tells "not" for everything
For some reason you can't use this app? I will not send you the the code for 30 points. Do not check the commissions out on my profile pages's right side. I will not accept your commission if you provide me all the info I need and you are a Core user.
(I stopped doing that too )
Mobile Users and people without Flash player (This is dead too)
Here is the mobile version for you: customboxgenerator.nikhazy-diz…
You can add it to home screen too, as this is a mobile web app.
(I lost my server once, couldn't recover it and too much time to remake it )
You do not have to buy to use it BUT you can buy to support me => (not anymore. Thank you for all the support)
Do you wanted to support me? On the right there was a small custom box background image pack (25 images in a zip file). In the past you clicked the Purchase button on the right. Want preview? Check this out: sta.sh/0qtpybyf6ej But consider this: I do not support this app anymore, so I do not really expect you to support me.
(i no longer accept your points for an app and deviantArt feature that is dead)
FAQ
- It isn't look good with featured images, ID, donation etc. Yeah. Because this works best with custom box widget. In any other cases there will be bugs like hidden content, spaces between content and top of widgets etc. There are workarounds for these but they will be still far from perfect.
- How to get Image URL?: www.wikihow.com/Get-the-URL-fo…
- I am not a Core user. Will it work for me? Nope. This works only for Core users.
- Background image doesn't repeat This isn't an error. This is how it is. You must use a wide and tall image to cover all the background. (Update: As from v1.7.4 it is possible to repeat image vertically.) This is not an officially supported feature, so it is far from perfect.
- Background image doesn't fill the box horizontally It is because you use a too small image. To understand this better try to resize the window and see how the layout changes, you will see eventually it will fill it. The minimum recommended width for the image to use is 1000px. That fills the background even on bigger screens. There are no other way for this.
- Does this work at Groups? Not perfectly. At groups the image will push the content down. So you can use small image as header or something, but not as background.
- I am an Internet Explorer user. I don't have "copy image url" at right click. What to do? First of all: Don't be an Internet Explorer user. It is bad for your and your computer's health. But if you want to continue to be one, you should write a comment with an URL to the page that contains the image you want to use and I will give you the image URL.
(Update: As from v1.8.0 it is possible get IMG URL in the app itself if the image is on deviantART or sta.sh. If you still have problems comment) - It hides donation button. What to do? Put several line breaks (press lot of enters in the text) before the last tag so the button is "pushed downwards". At donation polls it is a good idea to use low but wide image, so it only hides the donation amount.
- How do I replace the hidden featured image? You put the image's :thumbXYZ: code in the text OR you use the
HTML tag also in the text. Where the a "width" parameter will change the width of the image and you should set it so you are happy with the result (thank you for kissingcyanide for pointing this out). Without the width parameter the image can be too big and appear strangely hidden on the sides.
- There is a space on top of featured image widget: Set the view to "Normal view". There will be still a space at the top. But this is as close as you get. Remember the first FAQ.

The problems with this:
This is just the filename of the image. Image url starts with http:// you need the whole url that you can find in the address bar when you click the link I gave you before and repeat it now:

uhh may i ask you why the grey text always turns italic?? ´^` i want it to be normal,,,
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sadly this is natural. As we use already existing styles from other parts of deviantART we have no control over how these styles work. There is no workaround for this, at least not that I know.

ohh,, oh well
thanks for the answer ´w`

Can you give me the code for this? fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/201…
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry I will not write code here. Copy that URL in the input field in the app and press the "Get Code" button. It will give the code for you. That is why this app exists so I do not have to type the code. It is hard to type code in comment because I have to type & gt ; whitout spaces instead of > ever time. So I will not do this. that is why I made the app. Users put image url in, and it generates the code.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The code wont generate. I tried it, already. And this is the only URL link i have to use.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can't imagine how it won't generate. What browser do you use? I just can't imagine what happens. I would like to know how you use the app so i know what might be the problem to avoid cases like this in the future
anyway here is the code just this once:
YOUR TEXT / EMOTES / THUMBS
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mean the URL Image. Not for a background.
And i'm using Google Chrome, if that answers your question.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
At this point i really do not get what you want from me.
You gave me the image URL and said you want the background code. Or you need the thumb code for this? Then get it from the deviation page of this image. I really lost what do you want.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I want the image, not for the background, but, what i mean is i want to use it as just a picture on my custom box not like the background. Like, the IMG URL.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OH now i get it. Something that my app can't do anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, well, thank you. 
You should (unless you have) make an app for that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is too small of a task to make a seperate app for it and it would be to chaotic to build in this app. Maybe I figure it out how to communicate it well in this app, but for now I put it in the FAQ.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
It works great for my Customs, but when I put a background on my Featured Deviation, it only shows the background and not my picture
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is natural, you can put the featured image's :thumb code OR HTML so it will be bigger than the thumb.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For the customs box I want to use my picture here: Link but make it appear bigger on my page. How do I do that? I've been having issues with that lately. Thank you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As background it will be as big as the image's size. If you mean you want it to put it in the box as an image (and not background) you can use HTML tag.
