It's been quite a while. I finally got myself to finish the mania skin that I've been working on, and I'm releasing it today along with a few minor changes to the existing skin.
I tried to follow the same style and basic principles I used for the standard skin: A colorful flat theme, as simple as possible while still being pretty to look at.
The skin comes with keys and notes in white and the six colours you may know from standard, which can be combined in any way you like. I hope to create a little online tool as a convenient solution that allows everyone to compile their own color setup in mania without having to mess around with the .ini files, but until then that's the only way. If you need some help, feel free to ask.
The osu! standard skin has been updated for skin version 2.2, but is otherwise mostly the same, aside from a few minor adjustments.
Check the changelog if you're curious.
As always I appreciate any feedback, positive or negative. I haven't been playing mania for all too long, so I'm curious to hear if you find anything that can be improved. Here's a video that shows what the mania skin looks like in 7k.

If you've downloaded the skin already and want to update, make sure you delete the old version first.
Thanks a lot to everyone who contributed ideas or left a friendly comment!

Now! Mostly mania though. The osu! skin is complete as it is and will most likely only see small adjustments in the future.Scalded wrote:
When is the next update (( can't wait for more changessssss
Thank you for pointing this out! I'd already replaced the menu buttons with the new font way back, but apparently forgot to copy-paste them into the 1.2.1 release. I made sure I added the right ones this time. (And, yes, that was Tahoma.)RoleyKatsu wrote:
One thing I found weird was the inconsistency with the Pause/Fail/Result screen buttons, which seemed to have used a different typeface (Tahoma (or Verdana? Not sure) instead of Aller) for the Continue/Replay/Menu buttons.
This is not supposed to happen, and must be an issue with osu!. I believe this happens when the skin folder already exists? In any case, I've tested it and I can assure you the .osk unzips just fine when the existing Aesthetic folder is deleted or renamed first.Xafnia wrote:
Osk is improperly zipped.
Osu will unzip it as skins\Aesthetic\Aesthetic
The font used throughout the skin is Aller, the same font used by osu! ever since it abandoned Tahoma (Thank god).nitek1109 wrote:

i cant see spinner-approachcircle
can you fix?
I assume you're talking about the spinners as they were when the approach circles were temporarily removed? This should have fixed itself now. Without the approach circle, the spinners were indeed difficult to spot on time. If you think this is still a problem, please let me know.Bassist Vinyl wrote:
I feel this too, only downside of the skin it feels like spinners just come out of nowhere and ive never had that feeling with other skins, theres usually a subtle warning that has me spinning before the spinner shows up
