You know that in osu!standard / ctb in breaks skin hide completely, and videos/storyboards shows up to the maximum extent.

However, when playing taiko/o!m, on the break time the playfield is still there, preventing players from watching videos/sbs as author intended.

So I wonder if we can have an option on break section says "hide playfield".

If this option is picked, the playfield would dim out after the break starts, and would re-appear 2~3 seconds before the next playing phase starts.

A good example would be DJMAX Black Square's Purposed, wolf & flower pt2. However I can't get access to Y2B and are not able to show you the video...
The song has the first part as break, and playfield is hidden until the song starts, enabling players to take a look at the introduction of video's story.

What do you think?

Do you mean an option for the mapper or the player?

I think this should be a player option, not a mapper option. Many players delete or dim backgrounds and disable or remove storyboards, so forcing this on them would be bad. Giving people the option would let anyone who wants this to have it, and anyone who doesn't want it to not have it.

I think as a player option, this would be a good idea, since some people really like videos/SBs.

This can allready be handled by the skin in osu!mania. You can make the playfield semitransparent by adding Colour1: ~ Colour8: in the nK.ini files and change the last value which is alpha from 255 to a lower one. ColumnStart: can also be adjusted to set the playfield either to the mostleft or mostright part of the screen.

Personally i think hiding everything and making everything reappear seems very weird. It might work in standard mode since the HP bar is not a big deal but having everything at all disappear and reappear in taiko mode for example would be a bit too intrusive and "gameplay breaking" or unnatural atleast.

Besides that i think peppy is working about getting rid of break times in the game, p/2545809. Break times shouldnt be in taiko and mania.

Not the way xxbidiao is suggesting. He wants it to fade out at the start of a break, and fade in at the end, not be permanently set to some opacity.

And that's why this is extremely unlikely to be considered. I was just commenting on the idea itself, regardless of chances of implementation (which are low to none).

Actually, originally mapper side only. though I think that it's reasonable to put that in player side.

Oh yeah I know that. However what about beginning / end of the song? (Just like when all note is hit in a beatmap but the song didn't finish. In this case osu! standard make its skin invisible at all, only left a skip buttom to let player choose to look at the video/sb at the end of the song.)

Taiko already does this at the end of the map.
