Yes, I actually bothered to show them here. Feel free to deny/delete/move as you see fit. :)

1. Mod Selection



Look at those white corners, eww. I've always noticed this and I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed yet. Also, not sure if anyone has noticed, but the newest mods since Spun Out (?) have a black border, while the others don't. It would be nice if every mod had the same color style. :)

2. Skin Selection



This actually isn't a graphical nitpick, but look at that list; osu! standard used to be in top. Why isn't it anymore?

3. "Select" button in editor



I remember peppy saying something about a white corner in the "Whistle" button. I just want to make him know that it wasn't the only one. :)
This one is less noticeable, I know. Still, try to look at the top-right corner, and you'll see it.

4. "Miss" icon



For some reason, I only notice this while playing in 800x600 windowed only. It looks fine in every other resolution. Yes, I had to use a black background so it can be more noticeable.

5. Section "Fail" icon



Not sure if this one is intended, but I dislike it. If you can't tell, I'm talking about the white-gray-ish border. I think it'd look cooler without that. :)

I'll make more posts when I find out more, don't worry. ;)
Also, before anyone asks, no, I'm not using the template skin.

Virtually all of these are artifacts of in-game resizing bugs. In most cases, you can look at the sprites themselves in photoshop and those white edges are genuinely not present. The problem seems to occur when you have 100% black pixels next to 100% transparent pixels, when resized they tend to end up a translucent gray color for some reason. I usually hide that in my sprites by using outer glows and shadows, but the examples listed are some of peppy's and my earliest sprites.

awp had some luck by exporting them in a different bittage from paint.net (an option that I'm not sure Photoshop has) so otherwise I'd just redo them with some outer glow effects to mask that issue. Maybe the whole skin is due for a makeover anyway.

@luigi/anyone else: if you want to fix any of these I am warmly welcoming improvements :).

The template skin is exactly the default skin, right?

If so I'll try fixing...
