Life? What's that? Can I download it?! 
I want to change the title screen of my dmod. I got the skeleton template and edited TITLE-01.bmp to my likings.

The new title screen will show up in DFArc, in the editor, but not in-game. It's still the ol' 'Your title goes here'.

Are you sure the title image is the right size?

Yup, it's exactly 640 x 480.

Quiz, create a quick test D-Mod and see if it works on that one. If it doesn't, weird. If it does, well... that's weird too.

Yeh, I PS'd the old title a bit and saved it to .bmp format. I'll do some tests to see if something's wrong.

I object 
It's probably not in the correct pallete. It needs to be a 8-bit bmp, if not it will only work with true color. Photoshop probably just saves the image as a 16-bit bmp.

MS paint can switch palletes if you need to. Just edit the original title-01.bmp in MS paint. Then copy your new title bmp into the old one using MS paint.

EDIT: Also, there is no reason why the title screen would need to be 640x480. It is the most common, but by no means necessary. I am using 383x152 for the scourger.

Actually, Dink 1.08 supports up to 24-bit. No need to convert back to 8-bit, really.

Transferred my DMOD to another computer with a fresh Dink 1.08 Aural+ installed. Installed it and it's the same 'Your title goes here' instead of my custom. I even deleted the title-01 file and it still shows up even if it doesn't exist. All .c parameters seems to be in order. When I replace the title-01 with my custom one, it shows up on DFarc and in the editor, but not when I start the game. Other than that, the DMOD runs perfectly.

The guy with the cute D-Mod. 
Have a look through one of the loading scripts. Like main.c or start.c, the one that brings up the title screen (I forget which one it it) and fiddle with it.
