Hi all. I won't bore you with the details (though I'm sure someone will ask and I will anyways), but I want to strip OpenITG of all it's playfield elements so I can have a clean view of the BG Videos for recording purposes.
I went thru and used photoshop to rescale ALL the images in the theme to 1x1 pixel. This makes the play field clean except for two remaining issues that I cannot figure out. (ignore the arrows. I can hide those with options).

1) The life bar. I removed all the graphical elements, but it's still showing the remaining health of the bar, so this must be a scripted item somewhere, but I have not been able to locate it. Do you know where this is located so I can kill it and remove it from the play field?
2) The background video brightness; This should be easy. I went into the metrics.ini file for the theme and changed it to BGBrightness=1.000000. I noticed that BGBrightness was called out in two different places within metrics.ini, so I changed both. But the results when I run OpenITG is that the screen is still dimmed. Not sure why this is the case.
If anyone knows how I can fix these two remaining issues, then I should be able to achieve my goal. Many thanks!

I don't have openITG but I assume that it should work like other StepMania versions and that it has files of theme in open.
Go to metrics.ini in the theme folder. Search for LifeP1X and put a value of 9999 to move the bar outside the screen. Also look in \BGAnimations\ScreenGameplay for other elements. There is also timebar visible on your screen, I don't recall where it may be.
About video brightness - go to options in openITG and I think in Appearance options? Or some kind of graphical options you can set brightness of video.

Thanks. For some reason, I just could NOT get the lifebar to disappear. I was talking to another friend about it and his vanished. Turns out he was using the HOME theme (I was using Default). As soon as I tried it on the home theme, it vanished. Just had to put the following into the theme's metrics.ini
[ScreenGameplay]
LifeP1OnCommand=hidden,1
LifeP2OnCommand=hidden,1
And, for the BGBrightness, again, I just could NOT get this to do what I wanted, but I eventually realized that if I went to Static.ini and declared BGBrightness=1.00000, it solved that issue.
My last task is to kill the time bar. I don't know where that is being called out, so if anyone can help me find it, I would really appreciate your help.
