Have some Vanilla. I'm sorry if you where looking for white... (it was never part of the plan)
The reason it's cream and not white is to make the cursor and cursor-movement elements stand out. In this skin, white stands for things that relate to your cursor. If the whole skin is white, you cannot relate white to cursor movements.
It's kind of like: White = the path you are meant to take.
Everything you see in this skin, including weird design choices like a massive spinner, combo colours and cream colour is designed to enhance readability of osu to optimise your human vision.
