- Hitbursts
Hitbursts should look different than default1-9.pngs It is really hard to read very fast anti-jumps/difficult patterns when you get few inaccurate hits.
They look almost the same as default numbers with difference they use serif and are italic.
And when they are kinda similar and reading is so heavy dependant on numbers, THIS IS REALLY BAD.
I liked more the old ones because they dont take much attention and not making noise when they appeared over the default pngs.
And most important i NEVER confuse them with numbers.
And because numbers don't use any kind of outlining or don't have shadow drop the new hitburst just blends with numbers LOL.
But i think outlining as Aestetic skin has should be a good experiment, maybe it will improve reading who knows..

And yeah hitburst have file name with hit0 hit50 hit100 hit100k hit300 hit300g hit300k prefix.
As you can read here: https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Skinning
Think you misread what I said. Anyway, I am going to rework on these.

- particlex.png trick
Also a trick you can try to do. If you put a transparent particle50.png particle100.png particle100k.png, Hitburst will appear under the circle instead of top of it. But certain players actually like to see hitburst above circle so better put that into Extra folder.
Will add later.

- Ctb
Also I have made experiment with Ctb. This skin is suppose to show more accurate hitbox of elements. I made test to show their real hitbox which is 1x1 pixel also the ryuuta has much smaller collision box than seen on original files. I did test with 2x2 fruits and adjusted the ryuuta catcher plate for perfect collision size. Not only that but also fruit plate is in same height as the fruits hits the end of hitbox.
skin: http://puu.sh/aDoP8.zip
Haven't check, but will check in a later time.

- Ryuuta
And to organic ryuuta. Im still working on it. The actual pretty good, looks like something Gothic or Renaissance style. But kinda sharp IMO.
So something more rounded?

- Spinner
Also idk why but with this skin its hard to keep spining because there is no good visual indicator how fast you are spining. The inside circle is kinda too small.
When i spin i kinda more focus on sound.
Working on redesigning. It is off a bit, but no one knows because I hidden it. Still working on a new sound, but it will come later.

Mania and Taiko seems to be in good state. I will figure it out by playing more.

Also I always felt that approach circles are going a bit over hitcircles no matter how i hit..
I mean this:

I can see the approach circle is kinda a bit getting over hitcircle. Default skin approach circle is touching hitcircle.

-snip-

I heard you talking about how is the plankian locus hitcircle producing new hues into hitcircleoverlay when expanded.
I think its because the actual hitcircle is a bit overlaping with hitcircleoverlay.
NOTE: I intentionally placed hitcircle on top of hitcircle overlay.

Not sure if this is part of design thou.

Also thx for Fluorescence , A best skin when your eyes are well rested and aiming for good rank ^^.

Fluorescence Hitcircle element remake

Got some fancy PSDs this time after comparing my GIMP exports and PS exports (PS much smoother edges). I also made sure that I don't see any particles on them in both resolutions. It maybe has to do with the compression when exporting it to png-format. I chose the lossless option.
I also remade the approachcircle to fit 256px and the hitcircle to have the set complete.
As a claim I don't force you to change them, they are just suggestions or extras depending on your view.

@Aggrox: If you check the dimensions of the approachcircle it gets more obvious. The normal size should be like the 256x256 where as the luminace one is 250x250. If you like you can check my remake and how it plays in comparison.

After around 1 week of using the FL skin, I can offer some quality feedback

I really like the *tick* sound the hit circles make. Also, the pass/fail visual and sounds after breaks in a song are satisfying.
(I replaced the spinner sound with the default one as a temporary fix)

*Default one seems to be the best, but im working to find some alternatives from my MASIVE skin collection, maybe Uruoki will use them

The lifebar gets harder to see as it empties, fading from bright red to black. I personally like this feature. It gives more immersion to it.

*Agree, but will be better to get at least that "peripheral feel" how much hp do you have before break starts.

The mod icons aren't very noob-friendly since they don't have any visual indicator as to what the mod does. They also look confusing when stacked, such as in a multiplayer lobby.

*Im working on vertical alignment icons so you will read mods from top to bottom.
like this:

D/H/F
T/D/L
Maybe Uruoki will like them, or he will make his own using this idea. Anyway I will use it for my own skin, if it will be ever released.

The cursor when clicked looks like it has jaggies.

It's hard to tell the difference between a silver and gold S rating.

*Agree, A new players may not notice there is difference

Some dark colored hit circles are hard to see on dark/black backgrounds. Specifically dark blue and purple.

*Best solution to achieve visibility is to use default Luminance skin's colors by either disabling globally "ignore beatmap skin" or you can do it by moving cursor at bottom of screen before song starts and tick "ignore beatmap skin". Unlike Plankian Locus, Fluorescence is using white approach circles so if color is too dark then its problem of beatmap colors, not skin.

There are no hit circle chains, which can be a downer for people using the hidden mod.

*Totally disagree, I know a lot of good HD players that dont use Followpoints. I think they are more important for FL mod. Ofc with longer animation.
I think that line/animated follow points are more for bad than good. They make some maps hard to read when you switch to different AR.
Also not sure if 5 frame followpoints that are included are accurate, i see a lot of people to switch to 9-frame followpoints lately.

Something that'd be pretty neat is having osu! auto-switch between FL and PL depending on the time of day, like f.lux. It'd save the trouble of switching to PL during those night gaming sessions.

* This is wrong thread to ask for skin auto-switching feature, you will have more success in Features Request here: 4
Also i don't see any trouble to just go to options and switch to different skin? It isn't that difficult.
Also make sure you are having breaks during "endless" night session, a little break to switch to different skin may help

Keep up the great work Uruoki!]

Followpoints might be the correct term, I'm still new to osu! terminology.
Dark Hitcircles can be found on certain maps with a dark color choice, such as on this map http://puu.sh/aKV7c/11eed4e8ab.png (song is Yousei Teikoku - Kuusou Mesorogiwi with background 100% dimmed)

Uruoki what kind of font is Luminance using ?

Uruoki wrote:

Here is a list of fonts that Luminance has used in case you want to change anything.
Caviar Dreams
Champagne & Limousines
Elegant Light
Origin

I believe right now I have reduced the fonts to the first two.

Question: if I am running a software such as f.lux that already adjusts my computer display's color temperature according to location and time of day, will using the Planckian Locus skin overcompensate and disrupt the effects of the color temperature because of the two conflicting things? Thank you

It works. It will just make it double the effect.

They fit to slider borders perfectly.
I have included .ai and .svg.

What are the differences when using your files instead of the default? Also, which files should I use? For example, I see different sizes for the hitcircle overlays (7, 8, 14, and 16px)

Not sure if it's easy to see but there's white square around the Approach Circle owo

its known bug, if you mean those white edges on hitcircle
