To add the background, place it in the file of your sim. (C:/Program Files ---> Stepmania ---> Songs ---> My Creations ---> Title of song)

Once it is in there, open the simfile editor, place the bar on beat 1, and select Background Change (Or something similar, depending on version you use) scroll down on there, and you should see something like (PICTURENAME.jpg) or something similar. Scroll left and right until you find the background you want, then click enter.

Well, thanks, i knew that, but thats most used forchanging BG while the song loading, i want it to have as an standard BG, thanks for the help still

Just place it in there with the name something like: "Yoursongnamebg.png" and "Yoursongnamebn.png." SM will fogure out which is which and use them as the background bg and banner by default.

And by the signature I'm guessing you mean the CD title? Make sure it's on a transparent background, save as .png, then manually go into your .sm file and put the file name after "#CDTITLE:;" (make sure you put it in between the colon and the semi-colon, so it'll recognize that as the break).

Hope that helped. =3

Get an image editing program. GIMP or Photoshop work. Go into the program, open up the banner and background, and go to 'Save As'. Set the format to .PNG and then click okay. Tada, done.

Yeah, CDTITLE is the thing that spins in the corner when a song is chosen.
