I was wondering how does one go about adding a gif or some kind of animated picture for a background or something for a title screen

A .dmi file is effectively a gif so rename the gif you want and place it as a tile I guess.

First, DMIs are PNGs, not GIFs.

Second, you can use almost any image as an icon. You can just use the GIF instead of a DMI.

obj
    example
        icon = 'example.gif'

Embed the animated image, (preferably .gif because .dmi isn't too great when it becomes a higher-quality/larger-size file), into a browser element in your interface. Use winshow() to show/hide the brower when done.
