I've been gathering some ideas these days and i want to show them up here:
Beatmap Categories:
We all know the "date", "artist", "difficulty" and "Show all" categories that osu has.
My idea is to add 3 buttons near them; one to add a new category and two to cycle them if a user has added too much.
Just like the pic shows, when you add a new category the current stats, highlighted in the pic, are saved and user is asked to rename the new category.
Pictures:
This setting would be saved offline of course.
Filtering:
It would be nice to add filters to find beatmaps that have video or storyboard easily:

Replay Navigation:
When playing a replay time bars/circle should be fully clickable to go to a specific part.

Main Menu Mode Selection:
This idea consists in removing the "special" submenu that we an find inside "play" and take all modes outside, directly to main menu.
So now, clicking a mode enables it and "solo" starts in that mode. Score would also be updated when a mode is clicked.
Disabled modes would be grey and transparent, with colors when hovered and enable mode would be shown in full colors.
There is also a text that tell player the mode that is enabled in words.
Pictures:
My icons are just examples, I am not suggesting those, just showing what my idea means. Also, i wanted to link the to the "osu!" circle, but I could not find a orioer way.
