As my DDR 1st Mix theme went all to hell last year, I have taken time off from theming, and need assistance with another project, this time in SM4.

1. Is is possible to not only do the DS EuroMix 2 cube animation in the music select screen, but set the animation speed equal to the BPM of the song presently highlighted? If so, how should I go about accomplishing this?

2. As seen from the now long gone screenshots of my 1st Mix theme, the implementations aren't perfect, the graphics are disproportinate, and miscolored, etc.

2a) If I am using arcade ripped graphics, and have them in their original resolution, what is the best way to resize them without them becoming all pixilated and weird looking? What guidelines should I follow?

2b) I am currently using the GIMP for re-sizing, and making the necessary parts of an image transparent, what is the best way to make the necessary components of a used image transparent without any loss of color/mis-coloring in the rest of the image?
