Uhh yea i dont have a name for the skin right now and i suck at making names -_-. So if you have any suggestions about the name please let me know!
In terms of completeness, I have no idea how complete it is... Meaning this is a work in progress!
If you download the Numbers Pack before 1/31/14 download this file to fix number overlay http://www.mediafire.com/view/656wji6582vgdd4/skin.ini
The follow points are not mine! I forget who's they are but whoever you are i hope you can forgive me until i remake them myself!
Thanks to all of those who submitted names ideas!
• Arial (Me)
• SaibaNetix (Xyrax Alaria)
• Plastral (Sulker)
• Mitotic (Sulker)
• Nadir (Sulker)
• MetroDots (OMGPingu)
• Named (xSiRix)
• Dots Chaser (Agrrox)



Click One!
Remember to tell me if either is broken!!!


Note: I am not 100% done with Mania!

No youtube video until i record one!



Thank you to those who download and suggest names for this skin!

Nexa will do. Helvetica too overrated. Also, doesn't fit the "PSP" font over there

Mac-like my ass

Mac's font is Lucida Grande (System Font) and Myriad Pro (marketing font). Helvetica only appears on Mac Apps (System font too, but sorry. Lucida Grande wins the OS).

what about HD ??? you can batch images you know
also change HitCircleOverlap:12 to 80 since width of default-*.pngs is 80px so they will pefectly overlap over each other.
Also you can make default-0.png completely transparent 80px x 100px to prevent uneeded overlaping a.o posible transparency in dots.

I really like it! everything looks great although I don't feel like the backgrounds you chose fit the theme of the rest of the skin itself. Other than that, it's super awesome! :D
Name suggestion: SaibaNetix

Got bored and these names come up to mind and the map looks wonderful. Keep up the good work Gray~

The skin is looking really great so far! :D I know I put in my own name but I feel like Metrodots should be it's official name, it suits it the best imho. Can't wait to see how the skin progresses!

I think it will be hard to play without the number on the circle
especially the first time you play the map with tricky pattern

And what do you think about Dots Chaser skin ? This also remind me one of my older skin in my dev...
Also I RLY like the hit bursts. They are pretty funcional IMO because they dont cover dots and u can read stacks better.
So pity they arent in HD so numbers are bit blury in FS

edit:
hitcirle.png is kinda pixelated at its edges
to fix this:
before downscaling image apply 1px gausian blur and then downscale by 50% with bicubic automatic.
Image will be nice smooth and crispy. Do all SD elements which were made from HD. Also good thing for skin making is using photoshop "actions". With this you can make a sequence of edits. Then repeat this on everyfile in pyou do to file and then repeat it on multiple files.

Also... since when the hell "Named" became a winning suggestion?

----------------------------------------------

Additional help:

Aside from Gaussian Blurs, you can try Drop Shadows or Outer Glows as alternatives.
It's a "lazy man's method" but effective.

It's a part of a Joke. Someone decided to say 'How about we name it 'Named'' or something like that. I guess people want to name it a joke. :P

Keep in mind I will be the one who ultimately decides which name I will use. I reserve the right to name it whatever I want. Even if it is something that hasnt been suggested. The whole idea of letting people suggest names was to hopefully find an appropriate name (because I have difficulty thinking of good names). It is supposed to be fun, however I am looking for a good name, not a joke. The name idea "Named " was given to me by a good friend of mine who was just joking around. It was a funny idea at the time, but after all of the complaining about the idea, I am now considering closing the poll, not taking suggestions, and thinking of a name myself. I dont want to do that, but since I'm not receiving any constructive feedback, I may as well name it myself. PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT OTHER SUGGESTIONS Instead, suggests a better name. So please give constructive feedback about the skin.

Thanks, GraysonnG

Hello everybody! Today I was talking to <span style='color:#BF4000'>Layne</span> and he asked me what my skins theme was, and I told him, "It's ultimate simplicity" which right afterword i realized was the best idea i could think of for the name!

So I thank all of you who suggested names! I will leave your suggestions on the forum. In the end it did end up my decision on what the name should be, and I'm sorry that the name i picked wasn't one of the ones you suggested. I just thought this was a more fitting name than any.
