This skin is made specifically for the new client, osu!lazer.
If there is enough interest, I might do a version of this skin for osu!stable.

std::lite is an open-source osu! standard skin - optimized to the core for the new client, minimalistic, clean and gameplay-oriented.

Inspired by BTMC's Freedom Dive and JesusOmega's Planets, std::lite started out as a mixed skin in 2022. During 2023, I completely remade all skin elements in vector format.

Due to the current limitations of the lazer skinning system (and my lack of design skill), only the gameplay elements and interface are skinned. The skin uses some of the Argon Pro hitsounds along with the default interface elements of the Argon skin.
The default interface configuration is a minimal example, and elements can be added and adjusted in the skin layout editor for your individual preference.

Variants and Flavors
normal (numerals/dots/blank)
For NM/EZ
3 combo colors (blue/pink/purple)

highspeed (numerals/dots)
For DT / AR>=10
Instafade (+if) available
No combo colors (white)
Use of 100% background dim is recommended



The skin, excluding the sound files, is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International.

Feel free to contribute to the project on GitHub if you have any ideas, or use the elements for your own skinning projects! (with Attribution)

I really like this skin, but I have some very minor feedback.

Regarding hitsounds: Personally, I think only one hitsound is very repetitive. At least, there should be a variant with multiple hitsounds. (Like, for example the current "dots" and "empty" variants.)

Also, the spinner looks somewhat "out-of-place" to me. The skin's combo colors are blue-ish and purple-ish, but then the spinner is pure white? That looks imho weird...

Keep in mind: I don't know the first thing about skinning in osu, these are just a few things I noticed while playing.

Otherwise, this is probably my favorite lazer skin. Keep up the great work!

The hitsounds are actually not made by me, and I didnt add more hitsounds for the purpose of simplicity. Hitsounds are also very individual for each player, and can be easily replaced. The skin just provides a minimalistic baseline.

About the spinner: I am already working on a better design (coming soon™). The pure white color currently doesnt fit.

I have updated the skin from the old mixed version to a new and original open-source version made with vector graphics! For more info, check the updated OP.

Thanks for your support everyone!

I have released an update to the skin today.
It adds proper slidertick miss and sliderend drop graphics and an additional instafade variant.

Here is what I have planned for the skin in following updates:
- Fast fading judgement animations
- Reworking followpoint timings
- Alternative color schemes
- Making a shell or python script to compile each variant from source
- If interest is there, I might do a full backport to osu!stable

I'd like to know what the outer ring in sliderb.png used for? If it's used for indicating slider's judgement zone, That's too large🤔

Yes, the outer ring indicates the area in which the slider can be held. The size should match the slider follow circle of the Argon skin, which is also accurate to the hold area when it reaches the end of its animation.

When I made the skin, I got the dimensions from the lazer source code here. The size of the hold area is 2.4 times the size of a circle hitbox.

If the circle hitbox is 256px, then the outer ring should be 256px * 2.4 = 614,4px

Maybe something has changed and the scaling works different now. If you still think the size is wrong, please send an image of how it appears for you ingame. I am currently travelling and can't check it myself.

Thanks for you replied me. This problem should be caused by myself😥, maybe just because I stupidly changed something and lead to the ring displayed improperly. I just replaced it with the original sliderb.png then problem solved.

I then realize that put the sliderball and the ring into together can let no circle expanding animation be played, this make the skin more clear, nice design🆒.

Anyway I feel sorry to disturb your travel. Wish everything good with you!

I released an update for the skin today!
The slider judgements introduced in the last release have been improved and I changed the color of the reversearrows to match the spinner in the highspeed variants.

In recent months I experimented quite a bit with the skin, but didnt want to push out unfinished changes. You can download one of my experimental variants as a pre-release version on GitHub.
This variant could be especially interesting if you mainly play HDDT! Please leave feedback about the experimental version in this thread if you have any.
