I mean, sure. It's literally just a metrics change that anyone could do and some thrown together graphics that someone with actual graphical talent could make better and faster than I could.
Biggest issue with A20 that I see is that the ScrollBar is shaded differently at different parts, so I'm not sure how to achieve that in Stepmania 5. I'm wondering if one single, long graphic for ScrollBar middle would work instead of a repeating graphic.

I'm good at photoshop, so I had just a graphic for scrool bar on screenselectmusicoverlay , but It looks weird, and blurred, so I've used this code on my theme mod, and looks better, but the difficult part is that grapics are very small, and I dont know how to make them big, because if I change the graphics size it looks smaller in game, so it has to be a code problem.
So, this is how it looks on my theme, not the same, but similar to the original.
Just made an account to let you know I'd love to help update the A20 theme to full 1080p!

I unfortunately don't have the necessary skills to contribute to discussion, but I just wanted to say that I love the screenshots I've seen so far. It's clear that you guys care a lot about your work, especially considering this project will bring in negligible profit if any at all. It's all beautiful, and I appreciate the work you're doing so much. These themes enhance my experience with Stepmania by quite a lot.

Lucky! Good luck with your update to it, very much looking forward to it.

Thanks, in my case DDR A20 theme is not mine, it was originally created by Wyvern-D, based on DDR A's theme,so I talked with him about modding it, and I've just updated graphics, I've also edited and added some codes to make graphics fit on screen, and now it looks more similar to the AC, Also I've added the original video backround, selective up and down wheel, scroll bar, and new animations for the doors.
Unfortunately it still have some bugs. so me and my friend Reiaya are working on them.
✌

You can achieve that by using Preferred Sort's as well, without needing to edit the .sm files. A simple way to do it is to add Preferred to your sort orders and then edit SongManager PreferredSongs.txt in the Other folder. Because it's not documented yet properly (I'm working on a wiki article at the moment for it), here's how to format it.
Quote
---Folder Name You Want
Song Name
Song Name
Song Name
Etc
---Next Folder Name You Want
Song Name
Song Name
Song Name
Etc
Song Name
Song Name
Song Name
Etc
---Next Folder Name You Want
Song Name
Song Name
Song Name
Etc
Within the text file you DO NOT need to specify the group folder names that the song is in. However, if you want to point to a specific song with a certain title (for example if you have two songs in your list that have the same name) you can do this:
Quote
Group Folder Name/Song Name
This will point the list to that exact song in that exact folder.
Now you can't have two of the same song in two Preferred Sort groups as it glitches out. But this system works quite well and once you've mastered it, you can get it to do some pretty cool things. I'll link to the wiki page once it's done eventually.
Hope that helps.
Side note: I'm noticing a lot of people in here want mods/changes to the theme. What I'd suggest to you is to make a backup copy of the theme folder, then have a go at looking through the code and changing things around to see what you can do. It'll take you some time but it's quite satisfying working on SM code/getting themes to look the way you'd like them to look. The more people that have a go at theme creating/editing, the bigger our community of theme creators will become. It'd be great if we could get more custom themes happening like back in the 3.9 days.
Most people on here are willing to guide you if you're willing to put in some effort to attempt to do things. In fact, you may find that they're more willing to help if you've had a go first!
Hope to see more of you guys learning and having a try at theme creation!

Another pet peeve I have with this theme is the way kanji characters are displayed. Both hiragana and katakana are fine, but certain kanjis appear really blurry and distorted (the more strokes the kanji has, the more noticeable this becomes).
Can somebody point out why this occurs, and if there's a way to fix it?

Well the problem with kanji it's not an isolated issue, since i'm from Spain the only way I had to play at an original ddrA arcade with "online" service this year was to try out the ddrA at Vega London. They have a really good machine but the display is crt wich it isn't a problem for me except if I can't read the kanji at the screen.It was literally impossible to read anything except for the elemental kana, (To resolve questions of you guys; yes, i understand japanese and I have a N4 certificate to prove it XD) so let's ask konami to fix too XD.

I don't know if this theme is by someone who doesn't want to share their code, and also this particular video doesn't actually show enough for me to be able to tell if they've fixed the wheel issue. A few things I've noticed:
1) The other wheel sections seem to disappear when they open one, so either they set it to make them vanish while another one is open, or all sections open when one is open.
2) The songs appear to be using some kind of custom sort because they aren't in alphanumeric order.

this is the only DDR A20 theme i can find that works. Looks like its based off of the first version of this DDR A theme.

Thought I'd share a lil side project I've been working on lately. Took some time to remake and customize assets from the DDR A theme in HD; trying to make this into a solid, pretty, daily driver theme for myself. I'll release to the community once I'm finished if I can get approval from KENp!

So I've been working on this now in addition to my last post:
Kind of a funky amalgamation of kenp's DDR X2 and DDR A themes as well as my own assets and sweet google sans for the font.
Will release both this and the gold variant from my last post to the community after some more polish. (haven't even tested multiplayer yet) I would make my own thread for these but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea as these are primarily code/asset edit's from kenp's own work and I'm not sure how to get a hold of him for approval. Anyway, take care fellow steppers.

Hey all,
Is there a way to disable the 'changing speed mods during gameplay' feature? I got a stepmaniax pad, and it's pretty wonderful. I set start/select to be the upper diagonals, so I didn't have to go back and forth from my computer to adjust speeds and such. But this means I can clip the corner of the select button while pressing up/down, changing the speed mod repeatedly during gameplay. Unfortunately, the better my technique, the more this occurs.
Any help would be appreciated!

Just putting this out there.
I love both the Ace and A20 Themes, however I'd like to be able to use these on my machine. This is a 4:3 screen. Is this something that can be easily done with a few metric changes or would all the graphics have to be redone?
