    It can be annoying with transparent circles, yeah. But well, we'll get used to it eventually

I would like to be able to dim it again. My skin uses kinda similar color to a lot of those titles and i have a really hard time seeing some of the notes under those titles.

Well I'll probably get used to it eventually.

I just don't see the point in having the title at the start. I already saw the name of the song while downloading it, or at the song select screen.

It's annoying as hell, it hides the playfield, distracts from circles, and when playing DT it makes the beginning of the map downright unplayable.



Please either remove this completely or make an option to disable this.
We already know the title of the song we're playing before we're entering to play it, how is this necessary. All it does is hide circles.

inb4 denied, i love this sentence.
Anyway, Dimming before update was affecting that IIRC...
koromo
^ It used to, yes. Visual settings (BG dim) used to affect title text too before one of the recent updates. Changing it back to the old behavior would solve the problem, no need for new settings or options.

It really is distracting.
Marcin
well, but on old method, there was problem that faded text, behind main text wasn't working on widescreen(cutting out), so that's probably the reason of changing that

It needs an improvement either way. IMHO, it's only useful if it's during a break and you have time to read it, otherwise it's just ugly and in the way. Not to mention that you can't change the title text colour without BAT help.

I was just about to make a post about this. :)

There really is no point in the text in the first place. I doubt someone needs to be reminded the name of the song every attempt.

If you use the fun spoiler nobody cares what you think. You're not supposed to have fun.

It's not called fun spoiler anymore tho

As it is now, the text starts about 1/4 before the first beat.
Maybe a way to start the text as soon as the song start if there is a short gap between start of the song -> first beat (if the map starts immediately, the text should start on the lead-in) would be fine, but that means re-coding the way the text is showing.

That should be better than removing it imo, the average lead-in time is 1-1.5s, it's enough to show the title thing, I find in that a nice feature, rage on me /o/

That's how merging threads works! It acts like all the posts from both threads were posted in one thread, and since the posts in your thread were posted later then they appear later in this thread.

that makes sense.

I'm kinda sad because this is a major issue that's causing annoyance for anybody I know all the time now and at this rate it probably won't get addressed.

it's really hard to concentrate on the map when this text is in the middle of the screen covering the notes, which can last for like over 30 notes when playing DT and with AR10.3 it's really a pain to try to play like this
Arczii
Good idea, totally signed this thread.
JMC
the text is very annoying if i play HR+HD D:
peppy, what if you make splash screen before enter the gameplay, like BMS opening song
like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FO3-PuHorg

sorry for bad english :3
Tshemmp
Oh yes please, this is incredibly annoying when playing with high ARs and you want 100%. The idea ^ by JMC would work well, too.

But it only serves to make plays that are supposed to be hard, harder as intended!! And sure it has nothing really to do with the actual rhythm of the music, but who cares!!! People should just learn to play better!!!! This game is all about small frustrating things that are completely pointless to the actual gameplay!!!! We wouldn't want to change any of those!!! Think of the poor old scores!!!!!! Unfair!!!!!!!!!

Game mechanics should not revolve around "fairness". Osu is still a game that is WIP, and development should not be stopped due to deprecated features that have been in use for a while.

I hate the title text too! They look great when you are spectating, but when you're the player it's another story...

That was like the dumbest post of 2013.
Now that this is an actual request: I support this as well.
Wishy
Supporting.

It would be ideal if the title got showed during some mid break (those maps that show the song title like at half the song since you get a break there) but since that won't get changed on every map just making it so you can not-see it would be the best.

I wouldn't use this feature anyways.
Akatsuki
Supporting this! Make us the option to turn it off or making it smaller. Display it during the break is nice too....
raww_old
Supporting this. The scrolling song title serves no purpose as already mentioned, and only proves to be preventing the player from reading the intro of almost every song properly.
Nilsso
SUPPORTING THIS!
primrose
Supporting this!
Splash screen would be cool!
I can't dim the title on gameplay anymore now, But I'm starting to be OK with the not dim-able title..
But still supporting! go go
Anzo
I thought I already posted in this thread, pomf

I somehow hate it when playing with HD so I'll support this one...
But if ppy doesn't like to remove it, I guess I prefer to have a watermarked text instead of a solid one.
Van246
Hm true, it does get in the way...
But I would still want the title to show up, so I would be great if it just shows during a break

So many supporters on something that really does not matter if you can play properly \o/

I'd love to see you write that again after you'd trying to play AR10.3 HD on >200bpm

Which almost no one really does so who cares.
