Hi, I have wanted to give some comments on the new public realease for the game mode Taiko which is dedicated to the black-bar.
I checked it right now, and actually it is better as I thought before. The bar fits well and we are able to variate with the font depending on what skin we have.
But I want to mention some other stuff as well, which can hopfully help somehow making it more user friendly.
Before that, I want to recall that it was said before, that Taiko_BG's are unrankable from now on because, they wouldn't work well with the current system(+ some more reasons). But actually it works pretty well as you can see here: http://puu.sh/1ViWi (Map: https://osu.ppy.sh/s/70738)
This BG has been made before the new updated got released and it has the widescreen resolution. It stil works perfectly fine, as expected.
(Though, I don't know if you planed some more features for Taiko bgs, but it would be great to enlighten us, if so.)
So to come back to my suggestion: How about connecting the feature with the BGs together? Like this: http://puu.sh/1Vj4Q (BG: http://puu.sh/1Vj5Y)
The reason for suggesting this is, if we would use normal osu BGs for the Taiko difficulties this would happen often:

http://puu.sh/1Vj8Q
http://puu.sh/1Vjaw
For some people this might be no problem, for others it is like a thorn in eye. - The head is cut of or the picture is placed in general bad. My poor eyes.
(actually I say this can have an effect on taiko players as well -> how the BG itself is. But that's just my opinion.)
Another thing is to give us please the possibilty back, to design the BGs as we want. :/
To me and some other mappers, choosing a BG is like the cherry on a cake. Threating this as unrankable is sad.
So it would be great if we could at least move the BG as we want, to fit it to the current Taiko BG system.
(I think this is the right place to post it? It's not a feature request, since we can do these things by our own. If still wrong, I apologize.)
Edit: Wups, I noticed right now that the BG I used as example is 1024x600. Anyway, with 1024x768 it's also no problem.
