It's not possible with the standard Form class. You have to implement your own form using Canvas.

no tool, no drag and drop interface, it's all code...
so you will have to make a new class extending Canvas and implement all drawing, menu's and stuff yourself...

well I could just post some code but I'm afraid that only will lead to extra questions not to mention you wont be learning a lot about it... Especially because you're new to the platform you should documentate yourself as much as possible, just emulating some code won't do much good, except having something ready real fast but actually having no idea what, why and how you have done things...
So i'd advise to search the web for documentation on Canvas, or even just using the JavaDocs of the MIDP platform... I even found some specific information by just using the "j2me", "canvas" and "background" as search terms...
also having a look at j2me games code might be very insightfull, cause virtually every game uses the Canvas...
