Tutorials:Decorations

Decorations are a new feature of StepMania 5 (and therefore also in sm-ssc). They allow a themer to create items in a way that is nearly consistent with how a StepMania 3.9 theme would work. Decorations consist of the loader line (contained in Lua), a file in the Graphics folder (corresponding to the name you give), and the metrics.

In essence, they allow you to make global objects like in 3.9, except you can now customize them to your own whim.

Example
This example is meant to be placed in the decorations layer of any screen, typically.
