For people who admire the taste of osu! "argon" pro skin in the lazer release, as well want to have other general UI modernized.

Credits:
  1. "osu!pure" skin by CrispySquirrel (Castin Cramer) from community/forums/topics/1227826
  2. "osu!lazer" skin by DP05 (DemoPlayer05) from community/forums/topics/730045
  3. "argon remake" skin from https://www.reddit.com/r/OsuSkins/comments/y11vk2/
  4. hitsounds of osu! "argon" pro (2022) skin from official GitHub repos, with an indication from https://www.reddit.com/r/OsuSkins/comments/zxmxe1/.
This skin is basically a mix of the skins and components mentioned above with tweaks and improvements that mainly focus on Std mode and menu UI. Details below (click to expand):
  1. Song selection, ranking, pause and fail screens
    1. Mod icons adopted from "osu!lazer", with incoherence fixed and missing icons for Mania mode added as new;
    2. Bottom (mode selection etc.) buttons adopted from "osu!lazer" and redesigned using "osu!pure" assests;
    3. Strips of beatmap entries redesigned using assests from "osu!lazer" and "osu!pure";
    4. Ranking screen from "osu!lazer" is enhanced with assests newly created or imported from "osu!pure" to fix font inconsistence and beautify the look;
    5. Pause and fail menus adopted from "osu!lazer" but now a lot more consistent.
  2. Std Mode
    1. Cursors, hitcircles and sliders fully adopted from "argon remake", with minor changes on the slider ball;
    2. Spinner created from scratch, referencing to the style of the "argon" pro skin in the lazer release, using a few assets from "osu!pure";
    3. Hitscore assests is from "osu!lazer".
  3. Other Modes
    1. Taiko Mode is from "osu!lazer" with hitscore and pippidon assests from "osu!pure";
    2. Catch Mode is from "osu!pure";
    3. Mania Mode is from "osu!lazer".
PS, '"osu!lazer"' mentioned in this post refers to the skin by DP05, and 'lazer release' the official cutting-edge release of osu! game.

The skin was made with the size of the .osk file in mind, resulting in the final package as small as less than 6MB!

Initially I was just about to do a rough remix for personal usage, but eventually I started to add in missing components and tinker a bit. Thus, now after a few days of work when I think it's more or less done, I decide to make it public. Hope you enjoy it and comments are welcomed!

nice work!

i unpacked the skin file and found 4 slider related textures which are not very clean...
i tried to redraw them using GIMP (and i used this tool for restoring the arrow: https://express.adobe.com/tools/convert-to-svg)

so here is my result:


maybe it looks a little better now ? xddd

the patched skin files are here:

OP should probably use your sliders. You did pretty good removing those spots and smidges.

Thank you for the great work! This issue with the slider textures is like a bug/mistake I wasn't paying attention to in the first place as well forgot to check back later on TwT... so thanks for figuring it out!

btw I also used GIMP for most of the editing of the textures in this skin xp
