After around 1 week of using the FL skin, I can offer some quality feedback :)

I really like the *tick* sound the hit circles make. Also, the pass/fail visual and sounds after breaks in a song are satisfying.
(I replaced the spinner sound with the default one as a temporary fix)

The lifebar gets harder to see as it empties, fading from bright red to black. I personally like this feature. It gives more immersion to it.

The mod icons aren't very noob-friendly since they don't have any visual indicator as to what the mod does. They also look confusing when stacked, such as in a multiplayer lobby.

The cursor when clicked looks like it has jaggies.

It's hard to tell the difference between a silver and gold S rating.

Some dark colored hit circles are hard to see on dark/black backgrounds. Specifically dark blue and purple.

There are no hit circle chains, which can be a downer for people using the hidden mod.

Something that'd be pretty neat is having osu! auto-switch between FL and PL depending on the time of day, like f.lux. It'd save the trouble of switching to PL during those night gaming sessions.

Keep up the great work Uruoki!

Mod icons: I noticed that too and I am still trying to think of a good solution.
Cursor: I'll look into it.
Rating: I may redesign those anyway.
Dark Hitcircles: Not sure why. Can you post a screenshot?
Hitcircle chain: I am assuming you mean the followpoints. I am going to add those to the extra folder.

Followpoints might be the correct term, I'm still new to osu! terminology.
Dark Hitcircles can be found on certain maps with a dark color choice, such as on this map http://puu.sh/aKV7c/11eed4e8ab.png (song is Yousei Teikoku - Kuusou Mesorogiwi with background 100% dimmed)

*Default one seems to be the best, but im working to find some alternatives from my MASIVE skin collection, maybe Uruoki will use them :)

*Agree, but will be better to get at least that "peripheral feel" how much hp do you have before break starts.

The mod icons aren't very noob-friendly since they don't have any visual indicator as to what the mod does. They also look confusing when stacked, such as in a multiplayer lobby.

*Im working on vertical alignment icons so you will read mods from top to bottom.
like this:

D/H/F
T/D/L
Maybe Uruoki will like them, or he will make his own using this idea. Anyway I will use it for my own skin, if it will be ever released.

*Agree, A new players may not notice there is difference

Some dark colored hit circles are hard to see on dark/black backgrounds. Specifically dark blue and purple.

*Best solution to achieve visibility is to use default Luminance skin's colors by either disabling globally "ignore beatmap skin" or you can do it by moving cursor at bottom of screen before song starts and tick "ignore beatmap skin". Unlike Plankian Locus, Fluorescence is using white approach circles so if color is too dark then its problem of beatmap colors, not skin.

There are no hit circle chains, which can be a downer for people using the hidden mod.

*Totally disagree, I know a lot of good HD players that dont use Followpoints. I think they are more important for FL mod. Ofc with longer animation.
I think that line/animated follow points are more for bad than good. They make some maps hard to read when you switch to different AR.
Also not sure if 5 frame followpoints that are included are accurate, i see a lot of people to switch to 9-frame followpoints lately.


Something that'd be pretty neat is having osu! auto-switch between FL and PL depending on the time of day, like f.lux. It'd save the trouble of switching to PL during those night gaming sessions.

* This is wrong thread to ask for skin auto-switching feature, you will have more success in Features Request here: 4
Also i don't see any trouble to just go to options and switch to different skin? It isn't that difficult.
Also make sure you are having breaks during "endless" night session, a little break to switch to different skin may help :)


Keep up the great work Uruoki!]

Do you have "Ignore all beatmap skins" enable in settings? If not, enable that and see if that works.
MrLolrus
No I didn't; seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks :)

Uruoki wrote:

Here is a list of fonts that Luminance has used in case you want to change anything.
Caviar Dreams
Champagne & Limousines
Elegant Light
Origin

I believe right now I have reduced the fonts to the first two.

Question: if I am running a software such as f.lux that already adjusts my computer display's color temperature according to location and time of day, will using the Planckian Locus skin overcompensate and disrupt the effects of the color temperature because of the two conflicting things? Thank you

It works. It will just make it double the effect.

But if the temperature is too low, it won't have any negative effects on our eyes?

It will just be really orange and you may not be able to tell the combo colors apart.

Small update is out.
No more updates for awhile. I need a break.

- I have done precise hitcircleoverlay without artifacts using precise vector graphics.
They fit to slider borders perfectly.
I have included .ai and .svg.

What are the differences when using your files instead of the default? Also, which files should I use? For example, I see different sizes for the hitcircle overlays (7, 8, 14, and 16px)

ReddScorn is creator of the files you mentioned. I really don't know which one. I asked too. But without reasonable response.
Just figure it out by yourself.

Respond to white artifact that apears with default files i have made mine. Actual hitcircleoverlay from both sources (ReddScorn and Uruoki) have small artifact, small white lines that are more visible at certain Circle Size.
Mine dont have that artifact, because i have used vector graphics program uses different interpolation, downside is, that it has worse antialiasing so circle may look more jaggy. Could do something in photoshop to fix that.

Hi, I think this might be a bug.


Not sure if it's easy to see but there's white square around the Approach Circle owo

Not only it, if you look around the approach circle, there's a square around them
AGRX
That never happen at my side, and even when i re-check the texture of approach circle its seems to be without any transparent borders...

Must be issue at your side.

What resolution do you play ? what beatmap or CS size it is visible ?
Did you tried different approach circle ?

I made a few modifications:

Replaced the cursor with a black outlined/glow one to make it easier to spot when it's on a bright background.
Replaced the back arrow with osu default with a black outline (I can't notice the one in Luminance on fast songs/DT)
Replaced the hitcircle so there isn't a gap around it (That threw me off alot)
Changed the followpoint to a red line.
Replaced the hit numbers with coloured variants to make them easier to identify.
