here's my opinions, one thing though, i don't think you're allowed to use other people's hitsounds...?
critique- - larger hit300.png etc, in the ranking panel its too small right now. non-hitburst
- not a fan of star.png, shouldnt it be red at least? owo
- spinner-middle.png too small, overlaps the bonus points from getting spin score
- menu-button-background.png too small, this happens http://puu.sh/90rVZ.jpg
- score numbers are cramped, max combo and accuracy can be shifted down a little http://puu.sh/90s10.jpg
800x600 problems
- menu-back.png button too large, overlaps mud buttons in 800x600
- 1px stroke in general look bad in 800x600
Regarding the hitsounds, these are fairly known and in lots of private skins that are even given out. Conclusion: Niko gave out these hitsounds and they spread, so why not include them here if you can get them anywhere else. Of course I can't get a real permission from him since he's not online anymore (atm). They also fit the sub theme "Pro" since they come from a pro.
Redon's hitsounds are also in Luminance and Urouki gave permission to use his skin elements anywhere so I could include them right away, but I don't know if only he has the permission or if others can also use elements from Aesthetic in their skins. I read through the thread and didn't find any statement reagarding that. I could also just include them and give him credit and remove by request if he doesn't want that.
In short, Niko's sounds are spread out wide, fitting the theme and Redon's are only in Aesthetic and Luminance with no clear written permission anywhere.
At the 800x600 problems, this skin is not designed for this resolution so these aren't serious valid points. But the overlap and my selectionbar made me make a new menu-back. It's an arrow now.
Other stuff:
- Yeah, they are kinda small for the ranking screen but I wanted small ones primarly focused on gameplay. I made some larger hitbursts but still have the smaller ones for gameplay.
- I chose green for contrast with the colours the button background gets tinted to and red is not really a focus element. Redd is reference to my name and not the colour, also you see few elements being red. But thanks for mentioning, they didn't really fit in the end and made this one, turned out to look better but still having same design.
- The spinner is designed for spinning itself without overlapping elements. I don't find the bonus score distracting since you focus on the middle of the spinner and not around it.
- Blame the template for that and not me, it is so minor not worth fixing. Also why should that be distracting?
- Scorenumbers are focused on white and the black is just an outline. Some like them this way, some like a bigger gap. If I had to make changes for that I would need to re-adjust the ranking panel and that's a ton of work I don't want to do again. Regarding maxcombo and accuracy, of course I put them a bit lower. Should look better now.
Update tomorrow or later. Don't want to push out 2 updates in rapid succession.
