Hello all,
Hope I'm posting this in the correct space as I didn't want to necro a now 3 year old thread,
I've downloaded and installed this theme > https://zenius-i-vanisher.com/v5.2/thread?threadid=6867&page=2
As shown in the attached screenshot, all the video backgrounds behind the arrows/dancing characters have this grey bar, sometimes only on one side, other times both sides. This is the only theme I have that does this.
1920x1080 16:9 resolution.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue! 
What's even weirder is sometimes it goes away. I noticed exiting and restarting sometimes fixes the issue but not always

That's a background filter. Check your player options (you should be able to hold start when selecting a song), you should be able to adjust the filter to be 0% or OFF and that should go away.
Hope that helps.

And it worked
Thank you for the easy fix!OP: it looks like every time we start up StepMania with this theme it happens again, but pressing start right away when selecting the first song and hitting exit makes this issue go away.

Glad to hear there's a fix!
Is there any way to make it a perm fix?

I just tried that theme and it defaults to 0 for me. Not sure why yours isn't doing that. Sounds like it may be a bug.
If you really want to permanently remove the filter feature, you could change the default.lua in:
Themes\Dance Dance Revolution 7th Mix -HDDR MAX2-\BGAnimations\ScreenGameplay underlay
Edit the default.lua file in there and change it to this:
All that will do it "comment out" the ScreenFilter code from running so it shouldn't show up at all, no matter what setting your filter is set to. If you want to keep the filter system but want something more permanent you might have to ask Inori about it as on my end, the theme works fine and the filter defaults to 0.
Only thing I can think of is you play one song and exit the game without the game "ending" so it shows Game Over. Maybe play through a set with the filter set to 0 and get to the Game Over screen then play again, see if that fixes it. Not sure if that's how it works (as in, when you play it's set then at game over it resets), but it might be worth a try.

This worked perfectly, thanks leadbman!! No more issues. You are a legend!
I have just a few more random questions I hope you can help answer, I'm slowly trying learning this.
1) Not sure if this is controlled across the whole of SM but this theme, I have the same noteskin across all my themes but this theme I feel like doesn't "pick up" the arrows as well, like I hit for what should be Perfect etc on songs I've played for years but often get a Boo of Great, it might be my imagination?
2) Is there anyway to remove the "Press Start for more options" that pops up before going into a song
3) Is there anyway in the lau files that would make the BG Movies and Song BG full screen?

Screen Filter is enabled in DDR SELECTION using DDRMAX-EXTREME era themes.
