The settings pages were recently revamped. happy.png Visit https://www.chess.com/settings/themes instead. Choose the "Custom" theme, and under "Background", choose "Custom (upload)". Or, you can choose from one provided! grin.png

I suspect the resolution and image size need to be scaled correctly for the image to be successfully accepted as the background, however I have no idea what those are supposed to be.
