I would personally love this, but I am not sure how much peppy will though.
Alright, so apparently the message hasn't gotten to you guys yet.
The reason why peppy "fixed" the title.png is precisely and *solely* because people were abusing it and modifying it to change the appearance of the menu. It's for this reason that other previous requests for this sort of thing were denied, and for the same reason why this request will almost certainly be denied as well.

My feature request is a little different, cause it's also about interface look
I think it would be a good idea, if interface images are for example in %osu!%/data/interface/ . Not in skin folder
why is changing the menu considered abuse? lolKitsunemimi wrote:

I do have plans on implementing this kind of skinning properly, at some point in the future.

Yay!
Your response made me a little bit happier for today :p
Waiting for this stuff to happen ^_^

title.png is a completely broken way to fix the lack of a proper feature.
Glad it's being thought of to skin properly, though. There's so much to be skinned, but so little we can actually do.
You can still technically change title.png pretty easily (I made a script which automatically did it), but I obviously deleted it since it falls under hacking.

Even just a customizable background of the main menu would be great!
Being able to do more than just that would be even better.Accelerator-kun wrote:

I can say with a fair amount of confidence that the cookie and the copyright won't be skinnable.
Glad to hear that.
very nice idea
I can't wait for this.
Just a background change would be nice. If peppy doesn't approve of anything more, I don't care to push to change his mind.

Mmh seems great, I totally agree. Even if it's just a customisable background, just to refresh the game for old players ^^
A good idea to support! 
tohsaka better
Probably the only thing I'm looking forward to change-wise. Would totally refresh the game for me.
Full support.

I chose saber cause i can't find any decent tohsaka background. Any suggestion?YodaSnipe wrote:

peppy says (according to what i remember) is that you cannot edit the core files, it will included as hacking...Horo wrote:

what about this:
you can change the BG and the buttons, but you cannot change the osu! logo, except that you make it with some values in an ini.
and the copyright will be made in a way that it can be seen over all colors

T.T some hours ago i tryed to add a title.png but now that i see that this is traked as cheating T.T i feel so sad i really wanted to customize this part of my osu
i hope this option appear here soon

I think when we using the special mode : taiko and catch the beat , the account files can shows the modes levels and scores not the original osu scores.
Off topic, but +1 for the nice idea.krissHUN wrote:

As if your 1+'s and support's make any difference.
Well it would make BATs annoyed and then the Thread will get locked, abandoned, forgotten, then do another request probably in the near future. Votes wastedtheowest wrote:

Though customizing main menu BG would be good. Make main menu show lolis here and there
+1. I'm gonna support that idea
this would be cool... but yet we don't even know if peppy agrees it
+1 support >w<

How about setting background by just moving the image inside osu! window when the menu is shown?
\o/
\o/
It would be cool when you can skin it like an normal gameskin just with the background
Id personally love this idea. It would be so much more "unique" somehow. Pretty much everyone will have different main menus by then =D
also approve of this I don't have any stars left, but dunno if this even needs more 
I don't have any stars left, but dunno if this even needs more Totally support this. Just what I need for my skin to be complete.
i dont like it at all, just for say, isnt more eazy just change the colour background? like a little button with an RGB palette wich you can choose your color?
Do you even understand what is being requested?Rock Forever wrote:

Your post also makes very little sense.
Anyways +1 for this.
I like. +3
tohsaka betterI know this transcription is acceptable, but still can't stand "oh" instead of "ou". Also +1
I was too lazy to create such topic, good we're all thinking the same way. I'd love to see some refeshment in titlescreen. And there IS a way to put it without breaking any rules or peppy's wishes.
So, why not?
I believe that the main menu of
the game is its "face" and it
should be recognized and,
therefore, permanent,
immutable.

Added basic support on test build. Please note this feature will only be available to supporters. I know many will not agree with this, but I find it a perfect example of a way to thank those who support this game – which I am always looking to do – without having any effect on gameplay. I'm hoping people will agree with me on this one, and unlike gameplay-related issues I am not going to be budging on this (though feel free to share your thoughts in this thread).
Add file menu-background.jpg to your skin. It scales based on height first, then width if it cannot fill up the whole screen. The optimal resolution is 1366x768, supporting all widescreen resolutions. You *can* use higher than this, but please refrain from going higher than 1600x as it will impact performance of menu loading on lower-end machines.

Although I was looking forward to doing this, I think this is the perfect feature to make supporter only.

Excellent! Wholeheartedly agree on this being a supporter-only feature (though I am obviously biased), what better way to encourage future supporters as well...
Now I'm just waiting for this to transfer to the normal build

This was aimed at skin creators, who would have their skins used by more than themselves.whit wulf wrote:

Would it be possible to implement specific images for certain resolutions then? (for example, if the scaling doesn't do good for the image)peppy wrote:

something like menu-background-1920x1080.jpg and so on?
To be honest, a little understood... peppy recalled that the test build only works with support accounts or he said that customization of the main menu will be available only for the supporters in a "normal" build?
It will be available on public next public release. To supporters.

Yeah, finally! \:D/

I didn't consider that, but I am happy with the way it works right now.
Win!
Question... if your supporter runs out while you have the background changed, will it change back, or will you just lose the ability to switch it from what you currently have?

if someone noticed my earlier post I got confused with posts when trying to edit
Oh... Well this is a good thing that only supporters, as it is not very corrupt "face" of the game. If you read my old comments, you can understand why I was against the idea. For those who are too lazy to look for them, I repeat. I was afraid that if it is available to all, almost all the members of our community will have their own (non-standard) pictures in the main menu and our favorite game thus lose its "face" or, in plain language, will be unrecognizable... Especially for those who have just started or is just going to take up the osu! I think that Dean did the right thing... Dean, do not forget to add one more to the "advertising" of support account.
Hmmm... As I understand it, in offline it will not work, right?
Mercurial
I think, in this case, it should be the same like for the User Page, that the person should have the ability to do this also without support, after the first time.Mithost wrote:

Tirael: Yeah, when you log out, it changes the background to the default. And logging in again restores it.
Peppy, you're going to stop only on background? Maybe make UI customizacion avaible too, but make Osu!cookie untrouchable. So?
Btw. What did u think about change osu!cookie in beatmap selection to a speaker?

I think it looks fine with just the background. If the UI could get changed, the cookie would feel out of place.
osu! cookie-is sacred. I think that even for the supporters it will be too much.Slawek725 wrote:
