You cannot set the background image for a Form.

If you want full control over appearance, you need to use a Canvas... but then you have to so all the work of user-interaction by yourself.

J2ME Polish isn't magic, it won't enable you to "set a background image for a Form". The only solution is to use a Canvas.

However, UI libraries like Polish do contain ready-made classes that extend Canvas to build more complex components (which may provide Form-like functionality).

I've never used these products, so I can't say specifically if they will suit your needs. But, takes look. Alternatives to Polish include LWUIT (also, see Daniel Rocha's blog. Also, I think the mobility parts of NetBeans provides some UI components. Again, I don't use these, so I can only point you in the direction.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Graham.
