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 coding isn't working for me with the dark blue text

Even with a large image it isn't filling the entire box and repeat image leaves gaps inbetween the repeated images.

707x1131 is not a large image. You should use at least 1024 in width to fill the box on most screens. To understand how it works resize the browser window and you will see how te boxes change sizes, so at a point the image fills the whole box because the box become smaller.
About the gaps between images: its something that naturally comes from deviantARTs style. I can't do anything about it. People use ridiculously long images instead.

The image was way beyond that in size. I had to find a different one anyways.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see. Still. It depends on browser window size. On a 4k screen I am sure 1024 is too small, on an old 1650 wide screen it fills perfectly. This is just a hack, it will never be perfect. There are lot of things we can't control.

Length was the problem and it was over 2000px in length so I was confused. The original pic I was testing was static.photo.net/attachments/b…

Oh that makes sense. Well the more content you put in the longer image you need. Or repeat the image and live with the gaps. :/ As I said this is really very buggy. Sadly the more you want the wrong the results are most of the time.
