Hey there. I asked this on the official StepMania forums and didn't receive a response so I was hoping someone could help me out here...
it seems like the default in the current build of StepMania 5, has it zoom in on any 4:3 backgrounds or videos, cutting off the top and bottom. The only option I could find to change this is "Stretch Backgrounds" which just stretches the 4:3 images to 16:9 which is even worse, and this doesn't even affect videos! Is there any way to allow pillarboxing of the videos and backgrounds, without always playing in 4:3 mode? (I ask because, there ARE a handful of 16:9 videos I want to use).
What is my best option on this?

Can't help you, but maybe it's a theme specific option? I'm using the waiei theme and it lets me set the BGs to cover, fit or stretch...

I'm actually working on a solution and nearly finished. The major difficulty is making sure that when other themers try to present the choice in their theme, they won't have problems.
This is the screen that will be used to choose which background fitting mode to use.
