Normally I'm not looking that way. In addition it is normal when it comes to search on website. But the list of beatmaps in the game - another thing, IMO.

What is written in brackets - is usually synonymous, the word replacement or explanation.
But it is impossible to say that Persona 4 and Shouji Meguro - one and the same. Or at least synonymous. It looks illogical.
Perhaps I am critically mistaken in my judgment.

Edit: anyway it's not this thread discussion, my apologies.

Леденящий душу креатив от автора с альтернативно-ориентированным положением рук - это моя мапа.

The new default skin is very well designed, good job!

The only thing I think could be improved:
The red arrows which appear in the four corners when a section has passed could be matched better to the rest of the skin. Make them look more like the 'tick' symbol which is displayed in the center when a section was successful. (make them smoother; no black outline, just shadow)

Cheers!

I think the spinner in the new skin is hard to spin, because I can't see the cursor properly while I'm spinning

the new spinner actually makes low-end computer laggy

time for purchasing a new computer, maybe?

Looks like almost identical to Windows 8 design, but it's really cool by the way

I lack rhythm skills :'(

The new skin design is great ~ gives a new feel to the game, especially so because I don't use other skins ...

Parts of the UI are fucked. All the info about your run should be presented on one screen after the map without the need to scroll down. As multiple people have said, the new spinner is absolutely fucked, as is the new "300" and "100" popups (way too discrete and indistinguishable, especially at the end of phrases). Changing the color scheme of the default slider ball is stupid too; makes it less like ouendan for no good reason. On that note, replacing the default pink circle "pass" with a checkmark? Really? Doesn't affect gameplay as much as some other decisions, but still. The mechanics of the phrasing dots/arrows inbetween distanced notes is now fucked, etc.

Try to adapt before complaining. Most of the stuff works FAR better than you'd think.

This is just your personal opinion. Most of the reviews here are positive.
And you can still download the old skin.

Every new gameplay elemtn can be skinned back to how it was. If you don't like it, don't use it, but don't complain either

I'm kinda iffy on the new skin. Things look a lot nicer, but for those that want to use custom skins, elements become out of place or are no longer in effect.
For example:

I get that the users who don't like the default spinner can use the old style spinner, but doing so will make the spinner centered to the screen like this and there the background just kinda sits there and makes the spinner look ugly. I tried making the spinner bigger to "cover" the background but it would appear that the maximum size for the spinner is 1024 x 768, which is a problem if you're playing on a widescreen monitor like me.

SPOILER

Another thing that bothers me at the moment is the ranking screen and how it's "incompatible" with custom skins. Everything is off centered and/or cut off. The fact that the song background is used in the ranking screen instead of playfield.png bugs me a bit, too.

SPOILER

I don't think these are bugs and they're probably just things that have been overlooked, but I would love it if the new osu! was a bit more compatible with old skins.

Disable the "prefer new skin" option. These are not bugs, but an incorrect setting at your end. if they are bugs, report in the appropriate place.

It's already disabled. You can tell from the second screenshot that the Watch Replay image is my custom one. If the Prefer New Skin was on, it would have used the new default skin's button instead.

Could it be that I have to re-align the images in my skin?

Edit:
Also, the slider becomes default with Force Skin. Without Force Skin, it just becomes cut off.

Because other peoples reviews aren't their personal opinions, right?

Thanks a lot! I was playing OSU! all day long and couldn't do anything else. Now thanks to these chages I can finally forget about this game)) It's really hard to play now, I tried to apapt, even tried to change the speed of the mouse, but it's impossible for me, the old one was much better.

Nothing has changed which will affect the mouse speed or gameplay in general. But I guess if that wasn't sarcasm, then you're very welcome.

If you don't enjoy the new skin, just download the old one, simple like that.

I wasn't talking about the skin, the new default skin is actually better visually than the old one, I was talking about the way hitcircles act upon hitting them, regardless of skin.

Oh yeah, I've noticed that too.

It feels like you're hitting the vacuum to me, but it's still nice to play anyways.

The so called 'explosion' of hitcircles when u click on them is a lot smaller, you almost cannot see it at all. (and no, I don't mean the lighting)
Just saying, because if you haven't done changes to them directly, could some other changes you've made affect them?

Well, the change is quite annoying, since it makes streams quite a bit harder w/o hidden

I actually like it more the way it is now and think it makes stuff more readable because there's less on the screen.
Try to get used to it, it's not such a big deal.

Sadly, the cursor is still the same. :/

Hi,
Can the black/withe reverse arrow algorithm take in consideration the map skin elements ? Because on some maps, skined elements makes the reverse arrow barely seeable like this :

I'll understand if you say you can't because it could add some more calculatons to determinate arrow color but if you can that may help for a few maps.
