To get you Image in it has to be a JPG, PNG or BMP (BMP are large files...so I would not use one of them)... so your GIF Image is not gunna work...
Import your own BG image:-Open you project into RPG Maker XP
Tools / Materialbase (Or F10)
Graphic/titles and then click import, locate the Image (JPG,PNG or BMP)
To add a new Title screen:-with your project in RPG Maker XP
Tools / Database (Or F9)
System Tab
You can see the bit that says Title Graphic Change that...
As for the Menu Choices... I remember seeing a post about it some time ago... you may have to search... I just done a search and it came uop with 34 pages... Good luck...
Oh... and I though While I am at it I may aswell make you a title screen...
You Don't have to give credit to me... it was just a quick photshop job... 2mins...LOL
Just for now try right clicking on the one above and save picture as... put it on your HD some place you can find easy... and then follow that mini user guide above that I done... see if you can get it to appear in game...
(RPG maker XP auto copies the image into your game Graphics folder)
Also... after you choose the Image you want I will delete all the others from Photobucket, cuz my accounts a little large... so it may be a good idea to keep a few of the different version just encase you change your mind...
I will try and do a few 2nite or 2morra...
