This would potentially be extremely difficult/impossible depending on how osu! is coded when it comes to map playback.

The suggestion is being able to play the game say, fullscreen at 1920x1080, but be able to adjust the 'play area' to be a % of full size

ex. Right now, the play area is approximately as seen below (100%)


I would love to be able to shrink it to say 90% of it's size to move notes away from the top/bottom edges

Relative size comparison of 90%


Some could argue this would put notes closer together, but so would simply playing windowed at a lower resolution, so that's moot.

Seems cool.

But there is a really big downside to the suggestion. And that is why would anyone want this?

a potentially more useful version of changing your window size

Then at least make objects (and maybe cursor) smaller

Windowed mode may increase input lag on some computers (damn you Aero).

I would actually use this, it would help my peripheral vision without having to lower the resolution

It's also annoying when there are notes at the very bottom of the current playable area. If the latest chat feature is on, it can actually cover notes

That's why you should select autohide

Was just an example of how close to the edge notes get. Would like to play at full resolution without that issue

It's a good idea, but then CS MUST get higher (smaller circles), or this will never happen

Why would the CS need to get higher?
One of the main reasons people play at lower resolutions in windowed mode is for the "larger" circles (comparatively).

I'm all for this. Have a couple stars!

More stars for you because I can't play on windowed mode without a ~50ms delay because Windows 8 sucks :(

NIce idea, usually I have to change my tablet area to fit my movements (I have some problems with my tablet, just a personal matter) so it would be nice to adjust the in-game area instead.

Search on google or 2 for dwm disabling or pm me for link.

But overall, this one would be nice- people could play same playfield size as they were playing in windowed mode BUT in fullscreen making win8/8.1 dwm disabling redundant.
