+# ServiceNow Form Background Macro
+
+> A lightweight UI Macro to style ServiceNow forms with a custom background and simple element theming (labels, buttons, sections). 
+---
+
+## Features
+
+* Adds a full-cover background image to a form (supports cover, center positioning).
+* Makes table/form/section backgrounds transparent so the background shows through.
+* Easy to customize (image path, label styles, button styles, additional CSS selectors).
+
+## Requirements
+
+* ServiceNow instance with admin access.
+* An image to set as background
+  
+> ⚠️ Note: This macro uses Jelly/CSS that may not work as expected in some Next Experience workspaces or future UI updates. Test in a non-production instance first.
+
+## Installation
+
+1. **Upload the background image**
+
+   * Navigate to **System UI > Images** and upload your background image (e.g., `formbg.png`).
+
+2. **Create the UI Macro**
+
+   * Go to **System UI > UI Macros** and create a new macro (e.g., `ui_form_background`).
+   * Copy the example macro content below into the UI Macro.
+
+3. **Create a UI Formatter**
+
+   * Go to **System UI > Formatters**. Create a new formatter for the target table (for example, `incident` table).
+   * In the *Formatter* field, reference the macro name you created (e.g., `ui_form_background.xml`).
+
+4. **Add the Formatter to the Form Layout**
+
+   * Open the form layout for the target table (Form Layout / Form Designer) and place the formatter region on the form.
+   * Save and open a record to see the background applied.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+* Tested on ServiceNow classic forms (UI16). May require tweaks for Next Experience, Service Portal, or Workspace.
+* If your instance uses strict Content Security Policy (CSP) or image hosting constraints, host the image in a supported location or adapt the implementation.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+* If no background appears:
+
+  * Confirm the image is uploaded and the filename matches.
+  * Ensure the formatter is placed on the form layout and published.
+  * Inspect (browser devtools) to confirm CSS selectors are applied.
