open Dream Maker, go to File and create a new environment, go to new and make a new Icon file, then copy paste what icon/pictures you want into it.

Well, in byond most icons are 32X32 pixels only. But if you want to use larger pictures it's a bit more complex, unless its for something like a title screen.

Just put the picture in the same folder as the enviroment and it'll let you set an object's icon to it.
obj/title
     icon='pic.gif'

aren't only .png and .bmp acceptable in byond as a picture?

Note that such approaches internally split the image file to 32x32 dmi icons, and is mostly only useful with the Map Editor which allows convienent placement of multiple objects at once to lay out the whole image.
