Shadow Theme for StepMania 3.95 and OpenITG

About

The Shadow Theme is a StepMania 3.95/OpenITG compatible theme for the In The Groove (ITG) community.

This is by no means a "good" theme, but an interesting one with a few fun features and easter eggs. I put a lot of time and energy into building it years ago, and learned a bit about design and programming from it. I eventually moved on to working on the ITG 3 Theme, so definitely check that one out as well. https://github.com/openitg/itg3theme

The Shadow Theme is based on GRIM.657's Shadow Theme, and has many custom and backported features from the ITG 3 Theme. I've made a few improvements to it and fixed any major compatibility issues before making it public, so hopefully you'll have an enjoyable experience.

Supported Versions of StepMania

The Shadow Theme is compatible with older releases from the official StepMania project, and current releases of the OpenITG project.

Compatible Releases
✅ StepMania 3.95
✅ OpenITG

Incompatible
❌ StepMania 5 (e.g. StepMania 5.0.12, 5.1-b2, 5.2)
❌ Much older versions of StepMania (e.g. StepMania 3.9)
❌ Forks of older versions of StepMania/OpenITG (e.g. NotITG)

Installing the Shadow Theme

Place these theme files into a folder named shadow inside of your StepMania/OpenITG Themes folder. Your folder structure should be  /Themes/shadow/{GitHub Files}

It requires the "default" and "fallback" theme folders that come pre-installed with StepMania/OpenITG in order to function.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of the Shadow Theme and not using Git to sync files, then fully delete the old Shadow folder first. Do not merge the new folder into the old.

Language Support

The Shadow Theme has support for:

• English

Aspect Ratio Support

The Shadow Theme is designed to be usable at resolutions as low as 640x480 and still look crisp and clean up to 1280×1024. It supports the following screen aspect ratios:

• 4:3 (CRT arcade monitors, older TVs and monitors)

The aspect ratio can be changed under Display Settings.

Technical Support

If you encounter a game breaking issue, feel free to report it and I'll see if I can fix it.

I don't not plan on making any futher improvements or changes to this theme.
