Well, I changed it to the above (wp-content/themes/…) and it works. Thanks!

And idea why the extra path info was needed in html, but not the css?

I’m building the theme from scratch right now, and haven’t used the uploads folder for anything. Everything is in the theme folder (wp-content/themes/my-theme/images). It seemed to work fine with the background through the CSS sheet.

body {
   font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   background-image:url('images/org.jpg');
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
    -webkit-background-size: cover;
    -moz-background-size: cover;
    -o-background-size: cover;
   background-size: cover;
}
