- When we double-press enter when choosing a song, then go to machine options, exiting these machine options brings us back to the title screen instead of the song options (double-enter) menu. That's weird...

this is intended, I dont want to write an entire script just to skip 1 screen :>

the speedmods screen is a hackjop, adding rates would force it to display like the speemods making it broken :<

I like it like this, sorry, its more 8bit style than an fade

It's ok to use the default judge look, too. In the end, I think it's the size of the "marvelous" text which bothers me the most, not actually its flashiness.

I left it the way it is for now, might change it in the future if many people want it to change

When I press escape to go back in the menus, sometimes I go back 3 pages instead of just 1 because I didn't realize my command took effect so fast. Maybe a sound effect (a higher pitched 8-bit sound?) that plays when we go back could help. Just a thought

I dont have this issue after using it daily xd

I think song length, BPM and NPS is not necessary in score evaluation screen. (you can do whatever you want about that tbh)
I'd rather see which settings I used to play the song if possible for future reference. (e.g; for screenshots information) example: C900, distant etc.
y/n

+1 for that.

btw, I care about this theme, it's by far the most stable one with SM5 for me.

Nice updates, man! I'll download this right away.
Quick question, while you're at it. Is the noteskin in the preview pictures made public? I couldn't find it at http://zettbou.co.uk/

its in sm5 by defaullt, its called ExactV2

Some more feedback!!

- The 8bit "beep" in the menu is honestly super annoying to me. Could there be an option to disable it, or at least could you tell me where the sound file is so I can replace it with a mute file? Another option: I noticed another sound, the one you have when song wheel movement is blocked when selecting roulette. That sound is much easier on the ears
- This song selection screen is jaw droping. I think it is my favorite ever from all the themes I ever played. I love the fact the banners show up under the song name. I love how CLEARLY the cdtitles show up, seriously can't believe it took 15 years for the community to achieve this lol. With that said, a couple questions:
---- When we press left+right, the sorting changes, but it's not shown anywhere on screen what the actual current sorting is... Could this be easily added?
---- Maybe it's because I'm using a low end computer (Lenovo Ideapad S210, Intel Pentium, zzz), but going from song to song in the song list is actually quite blocky (we're talking 2fps): it's like it's loading something every song instead of just waiting for me to settle on a song. This means it's a real pain going from the top of vgmp4 to the middle, for example. I have a similar problem with Staiain's theme (which makes me think it's due to the fact background pictures for each files are shown when I scroll). This problem is less present with the UltraLight theme. Anyway, food for thought!
---- The color you use for the song names is red... Am I the only one who find the contrast of grey + red hard to read? I suggest trying using the white color: I think the contrast would be muuuch better, just like in all other menus of this theme Pack names could be in red?

- Yeah... I still really wish the judge feedback could simply be something like the words in 8bit font, matching color but 0 animation :< Sorry for hammering that
- Just had an idea about the health bar: instead of making it become distractingly red, why not simply a paler blue? :>
- The ability to modify background brightness on the fly is AWESOME. I love the double-enter menu


EDIT: Noticed one bug in song selection: if I don't double press enter, it seems my speed mod isn't automatically applied, even though it's already in memory when I double press enter to check it. In other words, selecting a song by pressing enter only once plays with xmod 1x for me it seems

[MarioNintendo]

This theme is amazing and I really want it to become a standard. Top potential jous, thanks for your hard work!

[Jousway]

quick small update, added more info to screen eval, and added a non flashy judgement on screengameplay

I could, might add in a future version

I dont have this nor can I recreate it, wierd :/


edit: made a 5.1 version of this theme LOL

[MarioNintendo]

I was about to post how pressing f8 didn't write "autoplay" on screen (LOL), but I'll download this new version instead!! Thanks for your hard work Jousway. It's fine if you don't agree with all suggestions, I'm just glad you read through them quite frankly!

All my love <3
-mn

EDIT: I swapped the _common row.mp3 for a de-amplified version of Explosion10 from this site http://www.downloadfreesound.com/8-bit-sound-effects/
Just letting you know in case you want to try it out! It sounds like the ITG selection wheel.

EDIT: Weird, in my vgmp4 pack almost all songs are red. Blue songs are a minority... but they're just as hard to read for me ;_;

[MarioNintendo]

Erm Jous, is my computer retarded? It can't access the double-enter menu in your new theme. Like literally SM freezes on a blank screen (clock is still working though) and I have to shut the game down otherwise nothing happens
Also somehow, I still don't see the autoplay text in game when it's activated. Could this be because I'm in event mode? Guess it's time to cheat!

edit edit: god those judgements graphics are FLAWLESS <3333

[MarioNintendo]

ERmmmmmmmmmmm maybe this is only on my end but....
Where's the song info panel?? I just realized lol









Final edit: these last 4 posts have all been made using mina's sm build (from the wife thread). But i can confirm barebones 1.6 has song info, double enter menu, etc, on this build. This issue seems to be with barebones 2.0

[Jousway]

barebone 2.0 is for sm 5.1 like it says in my last post :V, use 1.6 instead for 5.0.12

[MarioNintendo]

Oops! x}

[Jousway]

[MarioNintendo]

I'm still rocking this theme 24/7.

I noticed I was not able to connect to SMO with the theme. When I select "online", it brings me to a screen where I select the dance style, but then doesn't bring me to the login screen (if necessary, I can elaborate on that later, I'm at work atm). Maybe this is because I'm using mina's build of sm5, I haven't tried this out with the official sm build (I think..?).

I also might have to look at my setup, but autoplay text does not appear when I press F8.

[Dinglesberry]

You should add it so it shows the pack a song is from on the results screen, like til-death, so when people post screenshots its easier to figure out what pack the songs in.
