!! Installation 

!!! Notice to existing users that have older versions of this theme
Due to the changes and optimizations in this release, it is **highly recommended** that you not overwrite an older version of the theme with this one, and that you just delete the older version and replace it with this one.

!!! Instructions
Firstly, you will need StepMania 5.0.12 or a StepMania 5.1 build based on the 5_1-new branch (not the old 5.1 that is now 5.2. But that's not for you yet); 5.0.12 can be obtained at https://www.stepmania.com/download/

All you must do is place the contents of the folders in this ZIP, into the corresponding folders in your StepMania user directories. On Windows, you can get to them by entering the address %APPDATA%\StepMania 5 into the address bar in File Explorer. For more information, please see https://github.com/stepmania/stepmania/wiki/User-Data-Locations

The Themes folder contains the TrotMania Euphorius theme.

The NoteSkins folder contains the TrotMania noteskins.  They are installed by placing them in a folder called "dance" in the folder "NoteSkins" in the same location as the Characters and Themes folder. They include;

* Horseshoe (the default)
* Horsenote (a version of Horseshoe colored in the traditional "Note" color scheme, i.e. red, blue, yellow, etc.)
* Horsegroove (a version of Horsenote with a color scheme and appearance inspired by In the Groove's "Metal" and "Cel" noteskins).
* Horsemaniax (a noteskin with Horsegroove's colors but a visual design influenced by blurry line-out video from Step ManiaX. The similarity is more apparent on the 5.2 version)
* Equality2 (your FC on In Our Town is only valid if you use this noteskin)

The Characters folder contains several characters used in Battle Mode for different attacks. More were to be added in the future. Despite this being the main use of this function, no it does not give you 3D dancing ponies (although if anyone wants to go through the trouble of giving StepMania 3D dancing ponies at some point, you are cordially invited to join our Discord server).

This theme is intended only for widescreen aspect ratios; it looks best in 16:9 mode at 1280x720 resolution. Don't even try it in 4:3 mode, as it was not designed with this aspect ratio in mind (but, to be fair, StepMania 5 defaults to 16:9 anyway). It is also recommended that you turn Hidden Songs on.
