Theme's 720p base makes BG, FG animations and some LUA effects smaller than they should be. #5

All pictures taken were with the same verision of Stepmania 5.1 . As an example, I'll use Mawaru 4 (It was converted to SM5 and just uses FG/BG changes, no crazy LUA involved). You can get it here. Demonstrated with Pump gameplay (What style it's played in doesn't matter) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOfb_Juyk98 What's supposed to happen? Things like the intro 'video' are supposed to at least fill the hight of the screen. What's it supposed to look like? This. What actually happens? They are smaller than they should be. What does actually it look like? This. Yes, the arrows/screenshots look glitchy. That happens when I take screenshots of moving items in Stepmania. You get the general idea, though. More examples: TaroNuke's Louder Louder file. (Uses LUA mods and animations) Suposed to look like: This. Actually looks like: This. Yes, the arrows suffer from being too small as well. UPSRT pack - Cooler Than Blue. Demonstrated here at 4:10 in the video. (Also uses LUA mods and animations) Suposed to look like: This. Actually looks like: This. Version: StepMania5.1-git-cfa998e Compiled 20160523 @ 23:11:46 (build cfa998e) on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit. Resolution: 1440x810 @ 16:9 ratio.

This turned out exactly as I predicted. It's why I've opposed going from 480 to 720 from the start. I haven't figured out a solution that would work at all.

We can already scale background images and videos to fit the screen or avoid letterboxing/pillarboxing by the user's request, but this may be tricker.

All and all, this is a StepMania problem and not mutually exclusive to this theme. However, if this isn't fixed, we must (unfortunately) downscale this theme back down to 480. It's a shame that I'd have to face nerfing one of the big selling points of this theme just to maintain backwards compatibility rather than try and fix things upstream.

I've posted about this on the main SM bug tracker. We'll either have to fix this, or downconvert the theme.

Don't scale the theme down because of a stupid bug. Scaling isn't even difficult.

Okay, actually, I think I might have an idea about how we could work around this...
