Adsense Backgrounds ,Isn’t It Against Google’s Terms of Service?

I’m sure some of will ask this question. So I sent an email to Adsense support team and showed the samples. This is what they said:

Hi ,

Thanks for your interest in AdSense. I’d be happy to answer your question about decorative backgrounds.

As you may know, publishers are not allowed to alter the AdSense ad code for any reason. Once you’ve generated the ad code in your AdSense account pages, you may not alter any portion of the code or manually change the layout of the ads.

The individual ad implementations you’ve proposed appear to be compliant with our program policies.

- The Google AdSense Team

According to Google AdSense team, as long as you don’t change the Adsense code, which you must not do in any case, and follow the Adsense guidelines, these designs are fine to use with Adsense ads. According to Google TOS, you must not encourage clicks or unnatural attention to the ad, such as by using arrows and offer rewards for clicks. These background images naturally blend with the ads to make them look better.
