Status of what? Changelog is always updated to what is upcoming. Updates will most likely return to a weekly schedule like when I first started the project.

this is probably already mentioned, but in the .osk file you're missing the 4,5,6,(?7) in the default format (not score)

Is it me or I can't see my unstable rate at the end of a song with this skin

Occurs with me as well, not sure if its the skin or osu though since I only use this skin v.v

- not sure if related, but is the retry button supposed to be like that o.O?

I guess it's a bug with the skin because it is visible with other skins

i think that whole screen of ranking screen should be overlayed with that transparent black
to prevent the anoying glow of those shiny background images

I think be default if the following files are not present in the skin:
ranking-replay.png
ranking-retry.png
ranking-back.png

osu use files with prefix pause- instead for ranking buttons.

Reason why the retry and replay buttons are diferent is that they are not in same style.

Also i want to notice that some SD and HD files dont match, could be replaced.

Not sure why. I used the osk file maker in the skin selection. I'll make the osk file by hand for now one.

Don't know, I don't have a problem and 98% of the elements are cropped to the smallest size possible.

Yes, but no. I forgot that "Retry" shows up on the result screen. I'll change that in next patch.

I'll think about making a transparent black overlay.
"ranking-X.png" files are not supported pass version 2.
Which SD and HD files don't match?

Main reason for that is that 1x1 pixels can't be hovered over. The textbox with the rate won't show up since some textboxes are rather dependent on the element size.
I also tried that on my skin and changed it to a larger transparent image at 309x158. After that it showed the textbox with the textbox more reliably. I had a panel with a pre-attached graph and that transparent pixel, but later with a larger transparent pixel and a detached graph at the end because of the textbox.

Now thinking about it, I think I understand what you mean. The colour red, along with other lower frequency EMR have a big wavelength. Respectively they also have a low frequency. Frequency can be defined (as you have mentioned) as the number of cycles per second, and it is measured in hertz. However, having a low frequency doesn't mean that the wave is travelling any slower than, for example gamma ray. The cycle is the region from one peak to another. Also , wavelength is measured in meters.

As for the cell related stuff, I honestly don't know much about it. I'll need to do my homework on it ;D

not sure if it's just me but the hp bar always looked like this for me



edit:

just tried it happens because I've set my resolution to 1366x768.

If I run osu on full screen it fits perfectly.

I have made a HD rework of Lewa numbers, Because these numbers are kinda popular and they seems be more affective for reading due their serif flat character. I have made a vector port which is accurate

Feel free to include them into your extra folder

This is a temp patch for anyone out there that uses Luminance: Planckian Locus and get's some errors.
(This is not the best fix but it will do for now)

Now there is currently a visual glitch in osu! when in skin selector.
Once you've installed the patch it will still show your health bar being in the wrong location.
But when your actually playing your health bar is in the right position.
Fixes for SD:
scorebar-bg
scorebar-colour
ranking-panel

Fixes for HD:
ranking-panel@2x

This link will be removed when Uruoki releases the proper fix.

Just replace old files with new files and your set :)

This hopefully isn't the wrong thing to do and I don't get in trouble for helping :)

I'm not entirely sure if this is the intention for this skin, but you've still got the ranking-panel to large and it's overlapping the information below. I'm using 1366x768 (SD) resolution. I'm not sure if it happens with HD resolution aswell. If someone can confirm that would be great.

I'm using the latest version of the skin: [7.5.14] Luminance: Planckian Locus

Special thanks to Redon for allowing me to include Aesthetic's hitsounds.

Luminance started out as a personal project in October of 2013. It had three major goals that sets itself apart from other skins. Look clean enough so it can be used for high level play, please as many people as possibly and the main point, be very well suited for night time playing. The skin started out using -Ryosuke (-Kamui-) skin as a base and a slight color edit for night time. Over time the skin grew more unique characters. One major update that help push this skin was the HD update. Not only did this update make all the elements in HD, but they were also completely redesigned. Another noticeable update was the April 2th. This update reduced the size of a lot of elements to try to compress the file size. It didn't do much, however the skin had a template and could be updated without guess checking now. Over time Luminance became something. With over thousands of downloads, it was becoming popular, and for good reasons. It removed a lot of distractions and had simple elements to make the skin easy to play with. The skin also had a lot of options to fit many different styles. It was being true to all of the goals that was set. All, but one major goal. It was slightly lacking for night time play. It made playing in the dark more bearable, however it was not doing that good of a job. The skin was researched and tested for many months, but it was still failing.

Welcome Planckian Locus. Planckian Locus is a major update for Luminance that aims to improve that current night time experience. Planckian Locus is the path that color temperature travels. Unlike Luminance, where low contrast colors were used, color temperature is the main focus of this update. Color temperature is the measurement of how much radiation is used to deliver the hues of colors to our eyes. Blue/Purple are known as cool colors, they are measured up to 5000k (kelvin is the measurement used). Lower colors such are red/yellow are known as warm colors.



The sun produces around 6500k. When people view their monitors (6500k) they are basically looking into the sun. This is bad for our eyes for long periods of time and can harm us. Whereas we are able to look at a candle light (1850k)for much longer with little damage. Even though the sun looks red/yellow, it actually produces more blue lights than red lights. That is why it is hard to stare at the sun for long periods of time. Around sunrise/sunset the sky turns red for the night. At this moment is sun is producing 1850k (candle light). This is why people are able to view the sunrise/sunset. This also ties in with the other information that Luminance was crafted with.

Since Planckian Locus is mainly focus on color temperature, the skin will seem quite weird. It is mainly hues of red, orange and yellow. However the combo colors are still very much different from each other. Within a few minutes of playing with the skin, our eyes quickly adjust for the lower temperatures, creating a more smoothing osu experience. Taiko and Mania may need a lot of work/feedback for these new changes. This is a new update, and it will still be tested and changed based on feedback. The Luminance series strives to the best night time experience for osu!

-Kamikaze- Final Update (Before Taiko glow fix)


mekadon 12.1.13 update


Simon 12.1.13 update

Thanks to Kanna for the hitcircle font inspiration and -Ryosuke (-Kamui-) for the sounds and other inspiration.
Everything is made from scratch. Feel free to use this skin however you want.
This mean you can use this skin and release it without asking me first or without giving me credit.

Thank you for using my skin. I hope you enjoy it.

For the people that don't mind reading, the next few paragraphs is the history, reason, science and goal of this theme.

History
You can skip this if you want to, it has nothing to do with the skin.
I started playing OSU back in October of 2013. Even though my profile says longer, I didn't really get into it until recently. Before OSU I graduated college and I am currently interning, working on computers. I sit at computers pretty much all day looking at a bright screen, then go home and want to play OSU, but lose focus due to my eyes being tired. So I done some research about how colors and lights effect the human eyes and went out to design a skin that would work for long stress on the eyes. The following is what I found.

Science
The human eye. It is made of two main cells. The cone and the rod cell. The cone cell is what makes us see all the pretty colors. It is most active during the day time when we see purple, blue and green shades. The problem with this, is that it takes a lot of energy to use. This will be explained later in the thread. The rod cell helps us see light. Basically if you have a light dimmer, it helps us see in different light settings. The bad thing about the rod cell, is that these lights get processed slower in our eyes than the cone cell. However they take less energy. If you notice that you turn on the lights in a dark room, your eyes adapt very fast to the lights. However if you turn off the lights, it takes longer for your eyes to adjust to the new light settings. Within some time, you can see a table in the dark that is sitting right in front of you. This is thanks to our rod cells.

So now that we know what they are, this is how they work.



The frequency is what we are wanting to take a look at. The higher the frequency the more energy is needed to produce those colors in our brain. This is known as the visible spectrum. Since red travels the slowest, it takes less energy. You would think that since OSU can be a pretty fast game, you would want everything to be purple. That way you can detect the circles quickly. This is true, in a way. Think of it like this. If I was to toss you a balloon and a fastball. It would take more energy to catch the baseball than it would to catch the balloon. You would get the baseball faster though. However if I was to toss those items to you a thousand times, you would be more worn out after catching the baseball than the balloon. This would also cause you to start missing the baseball due to all the energy you burned. Same could be said for OSU. You could play about 10 songs with all purple, but your eyes would grow sick of it, and start making mistake. Whereas with a red theme, you could go longer. That is the focus of this skin, to allow long play time, and in the dark.

So there is another factor that goes into this skin. In the screenshots you may notice that there is blue and green. A complete red skin would be better for long game play. That would be a bit bland though. This is where light comes into play. Each color has a certain degree of light it produces.



The bar with the red and black at the very bottom is the bar that shows how much light is being added into that color. The rod cell is what produces light and not color. A low light blue or green color should have the same benefit as a high light red color. Since less light is produced faster than a lot of light. This allows the rod to finish it's job faster so the cone and begin to produce the colors. If that makes any sense. You may also hear the term, low contrast. This should be the same concept.

Some examples of what I mention above is as follows.

Pilots use red lights in their cockpit. The reason is so they can look down at the gauge and look back up into the sky while driving at night so they won't mess up their vision. Since red light are more slower to travel (uses the least energy), they can quickly look back into the night sky and adjust their eyes.
Our cars uses red brake lights for the same reason.
Police also use red lights in their cars so they can adjust their vision.

Goal
I designed this skin to be used at night time or for long period of gameplay. I have had a lot of feedback about this skin. Since this skin cuts back on a lot of flashy elements and uses a flat and clean design, I have also tried to design it for high level playing.
It is unhealthy to stare at a monitor for too long. Please remember to take breaks. It is important.

Features
  1. Low contrast, low energy consuming colors design for night time playing.
  2. Serif font for easy to read and less distractions.
  3. Most flashy elements reduced.
  4. Minimalistic and clean design.
  5. Transparent middles for hitcircles for easy reading of stacked notes.
  6. Transparent reverse slider arrow for easy reading of stacked notes.
  7. All game modes supported.
Change Logs

  1. Change slider ball to support the new tint option. Please enable this, otherwise it will look bad.
  2. Changed volume slider. I thought I did that already, but looks like I forgot to upload it.
  3. Took Shavit-sama suggest to make hit300 appear in scoreboard, but not playfield.

4.4.14
Fixed the big Taiko hitcircles and reduced the brightness of the extra sliderfollowcircle.

4.2.14
  1. Removed 33 files.
  2. A lot of elements have been reduced in size. (Not all, but most)
  3. Star has been redesigned to fit in better.
  4. Spinner layout/design changed a bit, but it should work the same.
  5. Taiko-hit has been removed of blur. They are not clear and noticeable.
  6. Added a brighter sliderfollowcircle in the extra folder that fits the theme. Some people was using a really bright one that did not fit, so I decided to help them out with that.

3.6.14
Skinned icon for cinema mod.

2.20.14 - Final - Fixed
  1. Fixed ranking-X, ranking-XH and ranking-XH@2x.
  2. Added "Dimmer White" folder in extra. Should help with white elements being too bright. Only did the ones that show up on the playing field.
  3. volume-bg-effect skiinned.
    2.21.2014
  4. Changed hitcircleselect and hitcircleselect@2x around.
  5. Added a quick fix for Taiko glow being too bright. May not be the correct size, but it works.


2.10.14 - Final
  1. counts 1, 2 and 3 now skinned. Just noticed that new skin behaviour doesn't make them appear from the sides.
  2. taiko-bar-right removed. Until skins get better documentations, this will be unskinned. The dimensions is just too much of a pain to mess with.
  3. Mode icons removed. It uses defaults anyway. Just save space.
  4. Fruits and followpoints now in HD. Not tested, but should work. If not, then at least SD does.
  5. hit50k removed, never used.
  6. count1s, count2s, count3s, gos, readys, and spinnerbonus sounds have now been designed.
  7. Easter and Halloween icons added for menusnow.
  8. Ranking panel wider for huge scores.
  9. SD selection random fixed. Was missing F2.
  10. hitsounds removed. Read this post to find out why.

2.5.14
I left the sound I use personally in by mistake. The old ones are in the default folder in the extra folder. I think this also overwrites the new ones I left in by mistake.
DL: OSK File ZIP File
  1. button-middle, button-right, button-left, fail-background, menu-back, menu-button-background, menu-button, pause-back, pause-continue, pause-replay, pause-retry, play-skip, ranking-graph, ranking-panel, ranking-winner, and spinner-rpm have all been redesign to match the skin better.
  2. Removed selection-mod-fadeout, and 3 other elements. (They were something to do with ranking-replay, ranking-menu, but they are not used)
  3. LightingL animation frames reduced. Cuts down on distraction and filesize.
  4. ranking-accuracy and ranking-maxcombo has been replaced with blank.png. The old ones are in the extra folder if you want them.
  5. Mania keys are now brighter. To me the blue (middle/special key) was way too dark. Not sure why no one complained.
  6. Think I left in two new sounds. Opps.

DL:OSK File ZIP File
  1. Changed taiko hits. May change later if they are not noticeable. I like them though. Hated them, remade them with an additional download link.
  2. Changed selection buttons on song selection to reflect hotkeys. Random and Maps are the ones that changed.
  3. I forgot to remove a sound that I was working on. So there is a preview of an unfinished spinnerspin sound. This should also give you a sense of speed that Neroh made a point about. Enjoy.
  4. Someone pointed that spinner was unplayable with hidden mod. Download this spinner to fix it.

  3. Spinner-middle@2x has been changed to reduce file size.
  4. Removed spinner-circle and star2 from extra folder. I really see them pointless. If you want them back in, fight me in real life tell me.
  5. Color code mod icons so it is easier to tell them apart.
  6. Ranking-Perfect changed to fit inside the graph now.
  7. Ranking-Title position changed to fit in better.
  8. Menu-Snow changed to get ready for Valentine.
  9. Brighter hitscores and approachcircles in the extra folder. Preview of hitscores.

  1. New hitcircle. It has a transparent middle. Old hitcircle moved into extra folder.
  2. Changed reverse arrow. It is now inside the circle and design has been changed also. This will work well with the transparent hitcircle.
  3. I did something with the old hitcircle, but I forgot. One thing I did do was change the shade to a brighter one so it is easier to see the colors.
  4. Changed drum-slidertick and drum-sliderslide in soundset "CLICK CLICK BANG BANG". They were using the wrong sound.
  5. Added a 7 new cursors in the extra folder.
  6. Deleted cursor_bright and cursor_dark. The colors should be fine now that you don't need those. If you want them, tell me and I will add them back.
  7. Made Snow less of an annoyance.
  8. Removed spinner-metre and two spinner-circles in extra folder. Meter is not used in the new skin behaviour. Not sure about spinner-circles will test later.
  9. Readme.txt has been changed.
  10. Extra folder has been reorganized. Any kind of element that has more than 4 elements will now have it's own folder.
  11. Taiko-drum-inner, Taiko-bar-left, Taikohitcircleoverlay, Taikobigcircleoverlay, Taiko-slider, Taiko-slider-fail has been redesigned.

  1. New soundset in the extra folder. It is just clicks so it is more noticeable when playing.
  2. 4k, 5k, 6k, 7k, 8k, random mod icons skinned.
  3. Mania keys skinned.
  4. selection-mod-perfect@2x skinned.
  5. Lightingn and lightingl skinned (modified OSU)
  6. Pause background now has a subtle pattern.
  7. Selection icons on main menu has been skinned. Preview here.
  8. Forced new skin behaviour in skin.ini. This is mainly so I don't have to fix the scoreboard.
  9. play-warningarrow has been changed to a dark black. In the play field it will be a dark red and on menus it will be a dark blue. OSU forces this, but it shouldn't be blinding and it should fit with the skin.
  10. Fruits changed to a circle.
  11. Fruit-Ryuuta changed to Pong bar. Preview of fruits here.
  12. menu-snow.png changed to add more snow. Preview here.
  13. menu-snow.png has been changed to a huge blizzard Preview here.
  14. Changed scorebar design.

I forgot to do selection-mod-perfect@2x. I will add that in a bigger update.
  1. All current skinned elements should now have HD support. (Unless I missed one.) (This does not include the extra folder. Hit300 is skinned though)
  2. New skin behavior supported. A few colors may be off because OSU forces those. Nothing I can do about it. Main colors should be fine though.
  3. Button-left,right,middle is now darker.
  4. Hitcircle design has been changed to a flat design. I like flat designs. I'm an minimalistic.
  5. Hitcircleselect has been changed. I am not a mapper, so I am not sure how this will work. Will change later.
  6. Hitcircles and approachcircle are also brighter, but not blinding.
  7. Hitcircle, approachcircle, hitcircleoverlay, sliderb, sliderfollowcircle are now more crisp instead of being blurry. This may effect eye strain. Not sure yet.
  8. Hitcircleoverlay no longer has a transparent fill in the middle.
  9. Inputoverlay-background has now been recolor.
  10. Inputoverlay-key has been redesigned.
  11. Menu-back is no longer animated. This is only as a temp though.
  12. Menu-button-background redesigned.
  13. Ranking letters has been redesign. (I think, I don't remember what they were before.)
  14. Ranking small letters redesigned. May redesign again.
  15. Ranking-perfect has been recolor.
  16. Ready has been changed to just say "Ready?"
  17. Spinner-middle2 and Volume-bg redesigned.
  18. Spinner-middle redesigned to look like Spinner-middle2 if you are using old skin behavior. This should be good enough so you don't need a hand now.

    I think that is all.

12.7.13

  1. default-dot, default-percent, default-x, default-comma changed to match the other default fonts.
  2. play-warningarrow redesign. Fits better with circle2 or circle 3 color. Also looks nicer.
  3. All large rankings have been redesign to a more simple flat design.
  4. All small rankings have been clean up. They are a bit more sharp now.
  5. ranking-maxcombo and ranking-accuracy has been resized to not overlap.
  6. ranking-title changed to fit the skin better.

12.6.13
DL: OSK File ZIP File
  1. hitcircleoverlay has been slightly changed. There was a minor error. May redesign completely later.
  2. hit50, hit100, hit100k has been redesign. May resize or tone down later. Haven't play tested these, but font choice is staying. Picture.
  3. hit300, hit300k, hit300g extras has been added to the extra folder for those that want to use that. Also may redesign due to same reasons. Picture.
  4. Readme in extra folder has been updated.
  5. cursor_naturaldark.png has been rename to cursor_dark.png now. It is more simple.
  6. pause-back, pause-continue, pause-retry has been redesign to match with ranking menu buttons. Buttons in general may get a redesign later.
  7. All the ranking small icons have been redesign. Noticed that they are a bit messy in spots, will clean up later.
  8. followpoint has been added to extra folder. Let me know if it is choppy and I will add more frames. I personally don't use it. Also, it may be shown through the circles. This is because they are semi-transparent. For the people that actually use followpoints, please let me know if this is a hassle, and I will include extra circles that are not transparent.

  1. sliderfollowcircle, spinner-approachcircle, [extra] sliderfollowcircle, spinner-approachcircle, spinner-circle, spinner-circle1, spinner-circle2 has been tone down. Not as bright so they don't look out of place.
  2. cursor_natural has been replace as the default cursor now. It is easier on the eyes. The old cursor has been move to extra folder and named "cursor_bright".
  3. Resized hit300, hit300g, hit300k, cursortail, fruit-pear-overlay, playfield, spinner-background, spinner-metre and star2. Now 1x1 to save size. Reduced by 2mb.

11.30.13
DL: OSK File ZIP File
  1. blank.wav, cursor_natural.png, cursor_naturaldark.png, readme.txt, sliderfollowcircle.png, spinner-approachcircle.png added to extra folder.
  2. Default spinner-approachcircle.png redesign. Circle is thicker now. Old one moved to extra folder.
  3. spinner-circle.png in extra folder redesign. Added an extra hand for an offset. Hopefully this will reduce afterimaging.
  4. ranking-back.png, ranking-replay.png and ranking-retry.png redesign for English text. May redesign again later.
  5. Changed SliderBorder to 200,200,200 in skin.ini and skin - dust.ini. This should match better with the hitcircles now.
  6. Added SongSelectActiveText and SongSelectInactiveText to skin - dust.ini. It was missing before. Not sure how I didn't see that.

11.29.13
DL: OSK File ZIP File
  1. Changed version number to reflect the date of update.
  2. Added extra folder to include misc. items that others may want.
  3. Made Star2.png transparent. It was annoying and a distraction.
  4. Added star2.png, spinner-metre.png, and 3 spinner-circle.png to extra folder.
  5. Not sure how OSU handle sounds, but some of them was low. Added a 4.5db brickwall compression to applause.wav, combobreak.wav and failsound.wav
  6. Redesign hit-0.png to make it more minimalistic and match the color to fit better with the overall theme.
  7. Redesign scorebar for the same reason as hit-0.png This is what it looks like.
  8. Replaced pause-overlay.png to completely black. The current one was blue and it ruined night vision. This was due to it being too bright. Will redesign later.
  9. Skin - Spruce.ini is now the default color scheme. Renamed to skin.ini
  10. Removed 4k.ini, 8k.ini and so on. Won't be doing those for a long time.

If there is no more complaints or concerns about the current status of Planckian Locus, then I will start working full force on the day time version.
