Thanks for pointing it out
As a whole, I don't know what I'd really do with this skin. It's in a good place and people seem to like it as it is, so any changes would be minor at best.
I added the extension ".rar" Great Skin!!!
Thank you for over 13,000 downloads of the original Nexus skin!
This is my absolute most popular skin to date—so I'm bringing it a little more up to date after all the changes peppy has made to skinning. The skin is now more compatible with the current build of osu!. No fancy stuff, though; that means no animations or crazy spinner stuff. It's too much work for me to redo the skin from scratch while trying to figure out how to get all the things to work without looking like complete shit. Sorry—I'll do that for my next skin!
Nexus is now available in black (Slate) and white (Ivory); that means you white note add-on aficionados now have a full-white skin to play with. I hope you guys like it; again, thanks for all the support.

Here is a little suggestion for the White Note Add-On: because a white reverse arrow isn't very visible in a white circle, you should fill it with black.

How did you encode these sounds? I wanted to amplify menuclick.wav, but audacity can't recognize it. (when i f2, there's not enough clicking sounds for my tastes )
)One suggestion: make the 100s and 50s different colors from 300. Right now it's really difficult to tell how well I'm hitting because I usually rely on different colors to tell when I'm not getting 300s; it's too hard to read the 100 at a glance while playing.
I'll probably just edit the colors myself if you decide not to do it
I'll probably just edit the colors myself if you decide not to do it
I actually already did edit it. Ended up leaving 300 alone, 100 is yellow, 50 is red, Miss is purple.
Red looked the worst, and i see 50 the least, so yeah.
Also, xiao, you realize the taiko mod icon isn't used anymore right?

Huh. I exported it using Audacity, but I can't seem to open the menuclick file either.
I can recolour it for you. I originally planned to recolour it just as all other skins do (because when you're playing, colour identification is the fastest way to know what you hit). The only reason I went against it was for aesthetic purposes. I'll recolour it in a few moments; perhaps I'll use Cyclone's colouring system.
Also yeah, I noticed. I just skin it because it's in the folder.

I decided to use the normal colours because I'm used to them lol

Quick suggestion. You should probably edit any "invisible" elements down to 1 by 1. Sorry for the small, nearly pointless request.
~Edit~
Oh yeah, I forgot. The blue slider border looks kind of odd with the combo colors. Maybe you could color the track blue to match? Or at least make the border black to match with the hitcircles.

OMG!! It's absolutely AMAZING!! Xiaounlimited, thanks for your work =)
Nice skin, plays well. Personally like the UI more than anything else. Looks like hticircles drew inspiration from Contease skin
Spinner is a bit wobbly..could probably fix that

I do realize I should have edited them to a 1x1 file but the space saved is so minimal there's virtually no point in me going back to fix it. As for the track colours, everything is editable to a player's preference in the .ini file. I liked the tracks cyan; if you like them black, by all means change it. I thought it made it look very flat so I didn't go with black.theMikeAG wrote:

The spinner is 1px off centre. Others and myself ended up finding it quite psychadelic so I left it as is. I also don't know what the skin you mention is but I'll be sure to look it up.Xact wrote:

This skin looks amazing! Although I still might prefer XI for the simplicity of it (not as many colors).
Nice skin <3 I'm using it.
Another suggestions to perfect your skin.
1/ I find the reversearrows odd. The colours used to fill them are too... sharp with the rest of the skin during a play (a perfect white and perfect black).
What I would suggest is to use the same gradation used for your default numbers, i.e. 48-48-48 on the top and 0-0-0 on the bottom of the circle.
So instead of having the first reversearrow, you would have the second one, softer for the eye:
Of course this is only valid for the white note add-on. For the default skin with the white reverse arrow, you would use the same logic, with inverted colours: 255-255-255 and 207-207-207.
2/ Why not put some colours to your ranks? Like you did with your score star recolour add-on and with the red letter D, the ranks X, S, A, B, C would be far more easily recognizable if there was some colour to highlight them (AFAIAC I first check the colour to know my rank, not the letter). X and S in gold, A in green, B in dark blue and C in purple? For SH and XH, I don't know.
These are only suggestions of course.

I originally did that, but I wanted the arrows to purposely look odd. I personally have a grudge against reverse arrows (I break on them far too often), so to combat that I made it as jarring as possible. The gradient is a non-issue, IMO.XPJ38 wrote:

Hi Xiaounlimited
When I first used your Xi-Style skin a couple of years ago, I was hooked. Over time I tweaked it (Replacing the numbers and the sectionpass audio) but I loved the skin none-the-less.
Nexus... WOW. You did a absolutely AMAZING job on this. Really loving the voices for the countdown and has that...coolness imo.
Well done. Here is to more great skins from you in the future

"The best of the best"! I love it too, 'cos it is not burn my eyes and i can play with it.
I usually take the osu default skin... but this is AMAZING O_O holy sh*t this is Awesome!
Amazing skin, hard to tell whether I prefer Xi-Style or Nexus now...
I can't play osu without this skin.
Great job. Just wow....
ampzz
Thought I'd finally post up some thoughts on this amazing skin, and of course your high-quality skinning abilities.
It's always highly enjoyable to fall back from my usual see-through skin I made (compiled with some elements of other skins) and come into something like the Nexus skin which is a nice, flowing and eye appealing skin in comparison to some of the others that are on offer.
I hope you will continue to create these skins as they're all equally enjoyable, even with your disdain of the Xi-Style skin.

I use all add-ons except the white hit circles.
Oh and I made you a spinner approach circle. Let me know if you use it in a PM, OK?

The mod pictures (hidden, flashlight etc.) are mixed. Can you try to fix it?

This skin... actually it's the first skin I use, where I didn't change anything to be able to play properly.
It's perfect and I can just recommend it to everyone else! Use this skin - NOW! :3
(by the way - every skin of Xiao is very good, but this one is definitely my favorite)

Hello!
I just downloaded this skin (v1.0) and I noticed that you didn't modify the icons for "Perfect" and for "Nightcore" in the mods section. I'm not sure if these are modifiable or not, but if they are, you missed them (unless you intentionally left them unchanged xD)
Aside from that, the skin looks awesome! ^.^

It's my most popular skin, by far. I might add support for CTB/Taiko/Mania, as well as do some adjustments since a lot has changed in the client since I created it. Another idea I was tossing up into the air was making alternate colour schemes available for use.acrox999 wrote:

A lot of new stuff has been added even aside from the March 18th update, which I haven't been keeping up with. I have to go in and rework the elements, but I don't have time to do that right now.
Anyway, it will give me a chance to update the skin and add a couple of new features. I'll also add support for both 4:3 and 16:9. With that said, I don't think I really have time I want to set aside on top of school work. Until then, someone else can hotfix it. I might have time this weekend to do it if I can. We'll see.
