An inspiration to everyone in the community, I say.

It's motivating to see such an awesome skin, and that might be a spur for someone to make an awesome map.

Nice work again, Xiao.

Some small changes. Not worth a total redownload if you already have the skin.

August 3, 2011: minor revisions
What's new in this version:
  1. Spinner no longer wobbles
  2. Invisible elements are now 1x1 pngs, scorebar dimensions shrunk
  3. Perfect play text on graph now roughly centred on y-axis
  4. Tabs and buttons now plain and solid coloured to fit the rest of the theme

Hey, I'm a dude and my favourite colour is pink. To each his own! Regardless, I wanted to use colours similar to osu! default; namely, pink and white. Take osu! standard, osu!stream then mix in a bit of my sem — er, stylistic approach — and you get this.

Pink is also the favourite colour of the person I dedicated this to. :P

Sorry. I've been improving my finger speed on osu! standard. I can't help it!



Thanks for the comments ♥

hmm, well since you're optimizing stuff...
  1. Pngout will compress your pngs, removing extra chunks so that only the absolutely necessary data remains.
  2. Optipng plays with the png filters and does a pretty good job at quickly compressing by default (though it has options for taking much longer).
  3. Pngslim is a script that brute forces the compression of pngout, along with a number of other compressors to get a very small file size, but usually only less than 2% gains on pngout for a lot longer. It also has pngout and optipng binaries included, as well as a number of others, but those two do most of the work.
Pngslim takes way too long to be worthwhile unless you have a lot of time on your hands (leave computer on overnight). using optipng first and pngout second will do a good job, though if you only do one, pngout does the best.

here's my edit of the spinner. I think I got most of the wobble out.

I completely understand now. This is a very good twist to the default osu! skin. I like it very much. Well done again :)

Awesome skin, as usual Xiao :) You are impressive.

My 2 cents: I find your scorebar absolutely unreadable, I just cannot quickly see if I am in the red zone or not.
Except that, your idea of using the scorebar to show the current combo is genius :)

EDIT: I noticed a little glitch on your ranking-D-small (or is it voluntary?):

needs moar pink

I think that the dark purple should be lightened or changed to a different colour altogether. It makes it very difficult to see approach circles against dark backgrounds.

Oh god Xiao, this is awesome, very awesome.

Not a mistake. Look at the other grades.

That's easily editable in the skin.ini. I'm not too keen on reuploading for a single line change in that file, but I'll keep it in mind if I make an update.
D33d
Yeah, it was just a suggestion for a part of your next update. Naturally, it's better for the proprietor of a skin to alter something which causes issue with somebody, but changing the colour myself will certainly be easy enough.

Gorgeous! I love how clean, but bright and cheerful it is. The sound effects are awesome, too.

Wow...the color scheme of this skin has the exact opposite mood of Nexus.
Drakari_old
:/
On one hand, I love this skin.
On the other hand, that spinner is blinding... And I really don't have the knowledge to replace it with something else or anything I would replace it with...

I'm also considering Xi-Style G2 that you just released an hour ago, but I don't really like that spinner either...

I guess I'll at least try this out...

Delete the spinner elements and use the default spinner.

Nice Skin.

This is pretty awesome (as expected from you). Do me a favour xiao: when you release a new skin, PM me with a link to it. So I don't find it 9 months later.

(Also, completely off-topic, but are you interested in having a shot at bringing the osu! default skin up-to-date a bit? Throw me a message if you are and we can have a talk :))

Great skin, the only thing that doesn't seem quite right is the count down. It's too slow, so sometimes in fast-beat songs it sound a bit distorted.
Great thing about this map, hidden doesn't seem so hidden
