Extremely Functional Stepmania 4.0 Theme

I'm mostly an arcade player and not much of a Stepmania user. That's why I'm here, asking for help.

I'm trying to find a theme to use on a converted DDR Ex cabinet that will run Stepmania. Since this will be a DDR-only songlist on this machine (we have an ITG2 for all the ITG-related songs), I would like the theme to visually mimic existing or past DDR themes. However, I absolutely loved the efficiency of the ITG2 theme and would like it to be as functional as it was. The fact that the ITG2 theme shows you almost all relevant info about a song on the selection screen is something I'd like the theme on my cabinet to have too.

So, in summary - Can someone suggest a theme for Stepmania 4.0 that visually looks like a DDR theme (or similar), but has great functionality like the ITG2 theme?

I'm not much of a Stepmania junkie, so I appreciate your help with this.

UPDATE: I'm not stuck on SM 4.0, it could be 3.9 too. I found the NEX theme ( StepManiaThings - Downloads - Themes - NEX ), which is freakin awesome in appearance, but there's a few problems with it. It doesn't have a difficulty selection screen and I wish it had the song stats on the selection wheel. Does anyone know if there's a similar theme with these features?

StepMania, ITG and a whole lotta crap D: - jeffrey1790.com
This site has I think over 30 themes. I would suggest using the shadow theme.
Not only does it say stepmania when you open it up, but it has all of the functions from ITG2, and some from stepmania(such as music rate, and note size "1x,2x,3x,mini,4x,......
So yeah, I think that one will do the job.
