This is just a suggestion about the current cutting-edge build's skin system in the options menu. You are free to give feedback or respond to my suggestion, though I just want to throw this out.

Also as a note, Yes I know Cutting-Edge client is experimental and it's known that nothing is finalized, though I just want people to respond to this.*

My opinion of the new skin menu currently is quite nice. Makes it fast to select skins and get to playing which I applaud TicClick for suggesting it. Sadly, "some" players are currently having a fit and rather stick on the Stable due to..

  1. Players cannot tell which skin is which in most cases. (Mainly due to the removal of the skin game-play panel if I were to call it.)
  2. Quite an hassle if you have many skins and have to scroll down a lot seeing the skin are in numeral/alphabetical order.
  3. Really basic... (Not really an insult though, but it quite is.)
If this was quick menu back then in the osu!test build before 2011-12ish (if I remember correctly), this would have been better in the cases of multi-player and you wish to change your skin quickly before a match started or if you need to change it seeing it didn't fit correctly in a mod you are playing.

I'm recommending if there a way we can get an "Advanced.." menu bar leading us to the original skin-selecting panel (also if you wish to add additional features to skinners who was requested advanced features in this board related to skinning.) and possibly it would be a win-win situation in the case seeing it won't waste the purpose of the dropbox.

I think the drop down skin selection is very handy for skins you might use often and switch between them (faster process) , but for other skins is really annoying not being able to not see a preview of what the skin looks like.
I have over 50 skins and when I am looking through them, I would pick from the preview, but now I can't.

I would like for the drop down to have the skins that you choose to put in there (most used ones or whatever, for fast changing) but also give us the option back of the preview screen. Or leave the drop down list as it is, but give us the preview screen back please.

I know this isn't final yet since its cutting edge. But just so whoever has the power sees this.

How about if you hold your mouse to a skin on the skin list it shows you a preview of that skin with a fade in and then when you move your mouse it fades out? :D

TheVileOne said that the skin preview menu is taken away for now in cutting edge. (In case you didn't already know)

May I forget to say you can still access it if you open a osk. file. (Not my confirmation, someone said you can)

the skin selection screen was rather outdated and i think the ONLY change it ever got was the export to .osk button. i feel a better skin preview screen is needed first
