What is Lambda? It's the default theme in StepMania 5.1, but is also available standalone. It features a clean aesthetic that reflects modern design trends, yet still maintains a suitable level of energy for a rhythm game. Under the hood, it's also a bit more future-proof than the previous theme, with certain screens featuring more prominent use of backend Lua code to replace legacy methods of rendering particular elements.
The big thing about this theme is that it's actually rendering at 720p internally rather than 480p like previous defaults. This will break some things, but it gives us more room to work with, from a graphical standpoint, and it looks nicer on high resolution screens.
You can download it on GitHub, and as mentioned, it has replaced the existing 5.0 theme as the default of StepMania 5.1 in its source code.
Note: Version 2.0 features some major changes to the theme's appearance. If you liked the previous version better, as featured in 5.1 beta 1, you can download it here

I had the opportunity to try this out just now and I really like where it's going. Keep up the good work!

We can always use new StepMania themes. Hope this one is as good as the current default

Big news; I've released the 1.0.1 version, which is also now officially in the StepMania source code for 5.1 as the new default theme. The theme is now mainly 96% complete; it just needs fit/finish, as well as bug reporting. The current 5.1 was nerfed in comparison to the original version (which is now 5.2), and is mainly turning out to be SM5 with NotITG mods added, so this does still work on normal SM5 too.
Download links are in the first post.
-------
1.1 is out. We're actually close to a 5.1 release, so I'm focusing on some last-minute tweaks/etc.
----------
Based on some consultation I had with other users, I did some significant changes to Lambda, making it more flat and consistent, and changing it to a more constant color scheme since my previous approach made it look too busy and disjointed.

The old SM default didn't have a groove radar either, you know.

Lambda looks great, Lirodon. I'm so glad that original themes are still being made for SM5. You have every reason to be proud of it.
How is your theme coming along, Astroman129?

See the part where it says "Taps, Jumps, Holds, Mines, Hands, Rolls, Lifts, Fakes?"
That is your new groove radar. All it's really missing is Voltage/Chaos.
