   Hi!
   I am building a new site, and I started using the Twentytwelve theme, it seemed to match my needs.

   However, it seems that this theme has some problems with the wrapper.

   I want a rather advanced background image for the wrapper, but this seems impossible to accomplish in Twentytwelve. I am fairly skilled in CSS but can't seem to get a background image in place, so my question is:

   Is there a better theme for this kind of layout (just made a quick mockup)

   How so? What happens when you do add a background image?

   Thanks for the reply, there are so many divs, what would be the best solution would be for a theme with the wrapper in one div so that I could control the wrapper size and just add the background image to that specific div.

   Why cant you just add it in the body element?

   Why do this? are you trying to control the image size?

   I know that would be easy, but I cannot find the corret place in the code to place it as a background image for the body element.

   body {
      background: url("http://localhost/sample.jpg");
   }

   This would do it but there's already a built-in function for that.
   Dashboard -> Appearance -> Background

   Kindly, thanks for your time. But that is the background image for the whole page, not the content container.

   I'm sorry but looking at your screenshot I thought you were talking about the image with a mountain.

   Use #main or .wrapper
   you cans still control the size of the image with
   background-size: 40px 40px;
