It will be very comfortable, if game will be support gear moving to suitable location.
I want to file skin.ini added one more line.

GearPosition: 0

0 - Location by default. (Left side)
1- Centre of screen.
2- Right side.

another support. take my invisible stars as well xD

it feels weird seeing the gear on the left. But I believe that it should be in the options menu, not in the skin.ini. Putting it there would mean that non-skinners would have a hard time changing it. Another thing is that osu!mania has 4 .ini's. Also, I don't think calling it a gear is nice since that's djmax trilogy's.
One more thing, I also think that placing it on the center must be default since the left aligned gear overlaps the scoring in multiplayer.

If anything i'd be more inclined for it to be on the right or left only, center covers the center of the background/video/storyboard.

Actually, you are able to skin position from Left to max center of the screen.

osu!mania template contains four .ini files that are related to 4k, 5k, 7k, 8k. (And I'm pretty sure for 6k too)

We just need to get proper template that will contain all of them.

personally, i agree with saruka. either on the right or on the left. not the center
MLGnom
You're aware that it can't be on right side?
Hint : Score, mods, in replay : buttons.

dam. missed little issue. and on the left can interfere with other stuff as well :(
Sakura
The combo number can easily be moved to the right on osu!mania mode, just like the scoreboard is moved there (except in multiplayer which is a bug). Or it can be somewhere else, since it doesnt need to be on the same playfield as osu! (like Taiko and CTB have the combo number somewhere else)

Let us move it to the center.

Having to look at the sides is uncomfortable. osu!mania exclusive diffs should use BG/SBs exclusively designed for osu!mania.

@MLGnom: yes, we could skin it that way, but once we made it centered, users will not be able to adjust it according to their preference. It would also cause major lagging for some systems due to the large image sizes. It really would be better if the playfield will be anchored to the center or to the right. ^_^

You really don't know how it's skinned right?
All you need to do is edit one of these : 4k.ini 5k.ini 6k.ini 7k.ini or 8k.ini (depends with one are you using) and edit this line :

ColumnStart:260

Put whatever you want from 10 to 260.
- 10 most left
- 260 center
So anyone can easily edit these.

don't debate the laggy side of osu!Mania

and most of here doesn't know 10 and 260 adjustment of the 4k.ini - 8k.ini
so why do you have to argue the downside / "laggy" issue?

been added and universally adjustable shove it in the #K.ini files respectfully

ColumnStart: "value"

"0" = Left
"230" = Center
"460" = Right

No quotes...

osu! handles like a bawss with mass quantities of large images, only limitation is capping your vram... large Hit animations 62 frames a piece on vuvuzela troll map proved this XD

For a reference of scale it was showing 10mb of images for every note being hit.

Do't forget that osu!mania gear is semi-transposented.

oh. so that's what it's for. lol. i feel so noob xD

wait, I can't align it properly!! My mania-stage-left and right are larger than the usual 4 pixels. And does that mean that the column starts at 260 pixels from the left? Cause if it is, then a center for 1366x768 would be more of a right for 1024x768

260 isn't center 230 is after 460 became the max for a full right. Its not measured in pixels its just a number for min to max if you want to give it a name just call it units :P

Play with the numbers till you get it how you want or if you want to be a perfectionist whip out a ruler ^_^
MMzz
Why.

No matter where you put it on the screen you still play the same notes at the same rate. I don't get it.
jemhuntr
okay. there's no centering it with that. i could center it in window mode but it moves to the left in fullscreen (and vice versa) >.<
