That is not an issue, I put those animations in Blue version too.

If you use GIMP, you can change all metallic frames to gray by changing the color mode to grayscale and to RGB. All other frames (Jackets area in SELECT MUSIC and MusicWheel, LOG IN BG, ScreenStages and fonts) can be changed to Green. No need ripping the frames, due to GOLD frames can be used as base.

If is with M2V or WMA extension, you can convert it.

Hey! I made an account just to post to this thread.
Wanted to say, thanks for returning to the scene, Curilang. I was very sad when you disappeared a while back, and it's good to see you again, making cool stuff as always.
I wanted to make a contribution. The BGA currently in the theme is really stuttery and interpolated, so here's the blue-green A3 BGA ripped from Grand Prix. I dropped it into the theme and it works perfectly.
I also wanted to humbly ask for better 4:3 support. Lots of graphics are cut off, squished, or layered incorrectly when in 4:3 mode. My cab is 4:3, and I would love to make use of this theme for it.
Also, can you make it so the player options menu will open by holding the green button when selecting a song, like it does in modern AC? Thank you so much.
I look forward to further updates!

I just finished making a graphic for the green A3 logo. It's not perfect, but it's plenty good enough for now.
I made a ton of edits to this theme to fix the layout issues that are currently present when running in 4:3.
This pack will only be useful to those that want to use this theme specifically in 4:3.
I've only tested it with the 'blue' mode.
Fixes:
- all of the squished splash screens before pressing start are no longer squished.
- the 'grid' background in the language, style select, etc, is no longer squished.
- the global background animation has been replaced with the official A3 rip from GP, no longer squished.
- reorganized and resized a lot of menu assets to make the layout more readable and less cluttered.
- replaced and centered the title screen logo (for blue mode)
- centered the "EVENT MODE" text when beginning a song, which was previously cut off on one side.
- on the evaluation screen, moved the 'style, difficulty, diff number' thing to not be underneath the 'player 1' text.
- the evaluation screen rank letter and full combo icon were way off the left side of the screen. fixed that.
- the BPM counter shown on ScreenGameplay was way off to the left, so i centered it with its respective box
- probably more stuff i can't remember.
The only assets I couldn't figure out how to fix are:
- the score displayed during ScreenGameplay is pushed off to the left side, and i couldn't figure out how to center it with the box.
- in ScreenSelectStyle, i couldn't find the description box that says "one person play style", etc, so i couldn't move it and make it fit on-screen.
I know absolutely nothing about code. These are likely all very hacky fixes since I have never done anything like this before. I hope it's helpful to someone out there.

MAN THANK YOU SO MUUUUUCCHHH!!! We are really happy for the BG Video
.And yes, I'm still trying to find how can I make the graphics compatible with 4:3
And for the options holding green button, I'm sorry for that man
I don't know how to do it but if someones knows and tell me how to implement, I'll do it. As I said in first post, use another controller for the options.Silly question, if you have discord, can I message you on discord? I saw your changes in the theme and looks awesome!!

On the Song Select screen I noticed it was taking pretty long for songs to play their sample music, so on the theme metrics.ini under [MusicWheel] I changed SwitchSeconds to 0.07 and found that this value makes sample music play much faster while still showing smooth animations and having a consistent wait time between each song sample. Really minor detail but I thought I'd share here in case it was bothering anybody else too 
I would love to figure out how to completely eliminate silence between song samples just like arcade DDR but right now the only way is to set SwitchSeconds to 0, which removes the animation altogether and only eliminates the silence for specific songs... holding tab to fast forward the game makes song samples play immediately but it's much harder to control the interface and of course the animations get affected lol

Pretty cool theme!
Just 2 points:
1- It seems that the theme is not very friendly with a 5:4 monitor (1280x1024) it will be supported?
2- After selecting a song, the difficulty selection screen, is working, but it doesn't change the difficulty(stays on the same level), it only changes it on the left difficulty section.
thanks!

So I've been away for quite some time. I upgraded Outfox to its newest version and then downloaded your theme Curling along with Enciso's newest version of Next Phase, but for some reason all I get is a black screen now when doing any of the stages.https://i.imgur.com/AUxaV7M.jpg
Might there be anything in particular I'm doing wrong?
Edit: I did a completely fresh install and am still getting problems when using Outfox
So I'm nor sure if it's a theme issue or an issue with Enciso0's characters. But the theme is now crashing on start up, I can't even get to the song select like I was able to before. It crashes trying to load it. .-.

Inori did something similar in his theme DDR X2, but I guess it is still WIP (the music between songs), so I'd rather wait for something good.

1.- I guess I don't have that resolution, but if I can do something, I'll do it.
2.- Probably due the Menu buttons, check the first post for the dedicated buttons.

1.- Check if you have a selected characters, Idk what is happening with the characters lately
2.- I need to change everything with the theme to have full supported version with Outfox. Outfox is TEMPORARILY NOT SUPPORTED
Reminder: Guys I've been busy with my school and work, sorry if I don't make updates like a few months ago

No worries Curilang! I didn't see that when I checked the front page a few hours ago! Nothing to be sorry for!

Since Outfox is temporarily unsupported, what version should I get instead?
Post #159 · Posted at 2022-06-28 06:12:04pm 1.8 years ago
Themers should stay away from 6-year old SM5.0.12. It's 770 commits away from the latest SM5.1_new in github. The latest github doesn't require you to get the 2 missing DirectX files anymore cuz they were dropped.
