V. Some Other Stuff~

Add-Ons!
There are currently no available add-ons for Full Color Skin.
Full Color BETA
Here you will find a dropbox link to a folder synchronized to Full Color BETA (so basically, I copy pasted the folder to my dropbox and used dsynchronize to keep the two folders synchronized). This means that whenever I change an element in the beta folder, dsynchronize copies that file over to the dropbox folder, then dropbox uploads the changes I made to my account.

Here it is. Go download the files as a zip and extract it to your Skins folder yourselves.

I'm not working on this right now.
osu!mania Stage Centering Guide!
osu!mania Stage Centering Guide!~
This sections aims to provide users the values needed for ColumnStart in order to center the osu!mania stage.


Pre-Calculated Values
Below are the values needed to center the osu!mania stage on the most common screen ratios. These values will center the osu!mania stage for this skin only. Use the values according to your screen ratio.

4:3 Screen Ratio
  1. 4K: 236
  2. 5K: 228
  3. 6K: 212
  4. 7K: 195
  5. 8K: 176
16:9 Screen Ratio (Default)
  1. 4K: 343
  2. 5K: 335
  3. 6K: 319
  4. 7K: 303
  5. 8K: 283
16:10 Screen Ratio
  1. 4K: 300
  2. 5K: 292
  3. 6K: 276
  4. 7K: 259
  5. 8K: 240
Custom Screen Resolutions
Do you have a different screen resolution, or would you like to center the osu!mania stage of your own skin? Below is the method to acquire the ColumnStart values. This method works for all skins and for all screen resolutions, be it windowed or full screen.

1. We'll use this equation: columnStart = ((480 / (screenHeight / screenWidth)) / 2) - (columnSum / 2)
  1. columnStart - value that we will put on each nK.ini file.
  2. screenHeight - height of your screen in pixels (or height of the osu! window if you play windowed)
  3. screenWidth - width of your screen in pixels (or width of the osu! window if you play windowed)
  4. columnSum - sum of all the values on the ColumnWidth field.
2. In order to get the value of columnStart, you need to know the values of each variable (remember that these values may vary depending on the key you're currently calculating). Let's have an example for this guide. Let's say I use a custom windowed resolution of 1200px by 700px. Below are the column sizes of the stages inside my nK.ini files.
  1. 4K: ColumnWidth: 46, 46, 46, 46
  2. 5K: ColumnWidth: 46, 46, 50, 46, 46
  3. 6K: ColumnWidth: 42, 42, 42, 42, 42, 42
  4. 7K: ColumnWidth: 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40
  5. 8K: ColumnWidth: 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38, 38
3. Let's start with 4K. The values we have now are:
  1. screenHeight: 700
  2. screenWidth: 1200
  3. columnSum: 46 + 46 + 46 + 46 = 184
We now have all values needed in order to solve for columnStart. Let's substitute the values to the equation:
columnStart = ((480 / (700 / 1200)) / 2) - (184 / 2)
columnStart = ((480 / 0.58333) / 2) - (92)
columnStart = (822.86 / 2) - 92
columnStart = (411.43) - 92
columnStart = 319.43
columnStart319
since we can't use decimals for the columnStart value, we have to round it off to the nearest integer.

Now that we know columnStart, we can go ahead and write the value inside 4K.ini.

4. Repeat the process for all the other keys. If you try to solve for the other values using the same situation, you should get the following values:
  1. 5K: 294
  2. 6K: 285
  3. 7K: 271
  4. 8K: 259
5. After getting all the values and putting them into their respective ini files, reload your skin by either restarting osu! or going into the skin preview screen. This will reload all ini files in the skin. Now go play some osu!mania and notice how your stage is now perfectly centered on your screen!

Note: Due to the rounding off of values, the stage may be a bit off by 1 pixel to the left or right. If you followed the instructions above correctly, I assure you that the stage will never be off by 2 or more pixels from the center.

OsuMe65
you can have it like that (the one shown above) but make sure that you don't insert a stop between black and gray
and set it to -90 degrees
and the outcome will be the same as the hit numbers in my NeOsu v2 (the outcome i meantioned earlier is the fill gradient)
