Named the skin that because it kinda sounds techy and cool,shush

You heard me,for once I'm NOT doing a taiko-mode-only skin!
Rather the opposite,I think I'll be leaving them out for the moment (Not arsed enough,
and I haven't quite figured out how to make osu!mania skins yet)

It's also my first attempt in making a new-style skin BTW
Cursor from dis threado http://osu.ppy.sh/forum/t/156492

-SKIN INFO-

Skin Name: AXIOM
Creator: crystalsuicune
Theme: Probably tech-themed,with some metallic borders thrown in because why the hell not.Blue-black colour scheme
Version: First release!
Tags: tech metal blue black
Download: HAHAHA IT'S DONE NOW SEE BELOW
Size: 17.87mb

-STATUS-

HOT DAMN IT'S ACTUALLY DONE

downloadudpate

Decided to FINALLY get shit done and skin mania and taiko (I have no idea how to skin mania notes,so I'll be using the IIDX-styled ones)
No ctb mode though,sorry!


-TO DO LIST-

>comboburst (any ideas?)
>Rank images
>Mod icons
>Assorted tibits I prolly need to skin

>See if I'm arsed enough to skin the other modes?
-Screenshots-

Way ahead of ya,I have both standard-size and x2 sizes for most if not all graphics elements for this :3
(It doesn't look like it because my laptop's screen is too small to use the larger window sizes)

keep the styling of the mod icons confidential since it's a Work In Progress...
and for everyone's curiosity to rise of course :)

Mod icons,combo burst,slider points/scores done!

Do the score numbers look alright?I'm worried that I didn't align them properly (it's kinda hard to do so since the font I use is a wider font)


BTW how do I customize the mode-select panel?As in the individual modes on the pop-up list?
I know the files are in the template,but I dunno how to create the effect like in here:

Robin's Egg Blue overloaad, you should use some Flush Orange (RGB: 255, 116, 0) to accent it [Cursor, Words, numbers, etc]. For the darker parts you should use a Denim Blue (RGB: 22, 80, 213) and the lighter parts a simple Green (RGB: 0, 230, 0). The combination of analogical colors with an accent color will really make it stand out and look better. For the combo colors you could use the Robin's Egg Blue, Denim Blue, and Green. Avoid using the Flush Orange as a combo color, instead use it for the numbers. The menu colors should also be changed from the default to match the color scheme.

Aside from the really bland color scheme it looks really good.

Huh,I thought sticking to a limited number of colours makes things more consistent
Hold on let me fix things up

>Didn't save the PSDs quite a few elements

....Shit

Whomever your art teacher was should have been fired. You don't want to limit yourself, you just need to use the right colors to help accent elements that are important and dull out stuff that isn't important. For future reference use this website http://colorschemedesigner.com/ to pick your colors next time (Use the accented analogic option) You can change the color angle if you don't want that much of a contrast between the light and dark elements.

It's alright I've got this,I can try to fix the colours based on the PSDs I already have

Or I can just say screw it and remake them from scratch.It's just that having PSDs helps me fix things more quickly really.



brb firing myself

Nothing's bad in overloading colors... and nothing's bad in accenting them.
as long as you apply some tricks that you know... it's a sure success to AXIOM

(kept the original colours in a separate folder just in case)

Why not test and conclude every move you make?

In that way, you will know what are the pros and cons of your skin...
As for the color schemes, use Deux's suggestion and apply it (except for the score numbers)

I figured that my idea on whether a change is alright or not may not be what others think,so maybe it's better to get more input as I go on?

Alternatively,I can compile what I have now (since it's mostly finished in one way or another) and put up a download link of that while I continue to tinker with it before making it an official release.

Any chance you could outline the white hit numbers and return arrow with a thin black line?

Red,ehhhh...

Right now the version I have in the OP uses an orange cursor,but the same post has a link to the thread where I got it from.
There you should be able to download the other colours :3

You should probably shrink the turntable a bit vertically or expand the 1st lane's width a bit.

ok, so there are 3 mod icons missing. target practice, cinema and random.
no point having the default elements in the folder
score-percent@ can be removed as well
there are also a few selection skin elements without @2x version

Can do,but IDK what their filenames are...

As for the missing 2x elements,are you talking about the mania notes?
I admit I borrowed them off another skin and that skin didn't have them.
(it's hard to recreate those from scratch and resizing will just result into a blurry mess methinks)

They -should- be since I chose to have mediafire auto-replace the files and keep the download links unchanged.
If not I'll upload them as different links
