I thought there was a wishlist item to allow privoxy to serve up
arbitrary files.  I can't find anything like that on the TODO list tho
:(

But the user-manual includes images, so you can abuse the user-manual
config directive to serve images from
http://config.privoxy.org/user-manual/

1. /etc/privoxy/config needs to have user-manual configured - eg
  user-manual /usr/share/doc/privoxy/user-manual
which then allows you to serve up images from
  http://config.privoxy.org/user-manual/

2. To change all pages, add your background css directive to
/etc/privoxy/templates/cgi-style.css
I did
/*
 * General rules: Font, Color, Headings, Margins, Links
 */
body,td,th { font-family: arial, helvetica, helv, sans-serif; }
body { background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; }
/* LR test: include arbitrary image */  body { background-image:
url(//config.privoxy.org/user-manual/windows-eyes.gif); }

3. Add your background image to wherever the user manual is kept.  For me it's
  /usr/share/doc/privoxy/user-manual/

And almost none of the background image shows through - but hopefully
you can work around that.
