[Low Priority]

To clarify the title, I would like an option so Osu will use the maps custom combo colors but not the actual skin the map provides. This way I can use my own skin but the combo colors the mapper provided.

Reason: I can not play with very many custom skins because they are to flashy and I can not see them correctly, but I would still like to enjoy the combo colors the beatmapper picked for the map as it would add to the experience.

Thank you.

This would be a great option to have. Most song specific skins are impossible to play with, but combo colours sometimes help a lot especially when they indicate Slider Velocity changes, thus it would be great so be able to enable instead of the full song skin.

Would be an okay low priority request if you could toggle it. Also, wtf is with the waka flocka avatar - that guy is trash :P

Yes a toggle feature would be preferable. Thanks!

You can have your own half-assed version of this feature by making a clone folder of your skin and removing the combo colours from the skin.cfg. Then you can choose between the two, just like a toggle.

TBH I would prefer a whole bunch of toggles, not just combo colours. Toggle for invisible followpoints, circle transparency, invisible HP bar, etc.

Edit: Oops, nvm that doesn't work. Just reverts back to osu! default.

i see a lot of mappers choose really poor contrast combo colours, but having a toggle for this wouldn't hurt.

I had already tried that when I was figuring out how to make my own custom skin. Its just that sometimes I think the beatmappers choice of combo colors really helps improve the feel of the map. I do not want to use the skins that come with the maps as it it to hard to play when always changing skins.

Also you can "half-assed" make a clone of your skin and replace the followpoints and HP bar with a 1 pixel image file that has transparency. same goes with circle transparency you can edit the circle to be transparent or not.

Edit: Here it a link to the pixel I was talking about. I uploaded it for you. just rename it to whet ever you want invisible.

I hate it when there is a custom skin, but the colors are good
This will definitely get my support.

I disabled all beatmap skin as I've the skin I am using has made me inadept to other ones

But I'll throw in stars anyways since it can be implemented without much trouble

Can we get this in-game already? I don't think this is too-hard to implement.

Maybe you should renamr thread name
It sounds little awkward
It sounds like it changed the skin you will always use
Please change it (to make it more popular/visible)

I put a lot of thought into the name of the thread. I wish for it to represent what this feature would include, although if you have a better way of wording it I will consider it. I am unable to think of a better tittle at this time.

Now it sounds like the beatmap's colours will go to your own skin
Maybe make it: 'Allow beatmap colours, while disallowing beatmap skin'

Same colours get boring over time. I'd like this so it saves me from editing the skin.ini every now and then.

can we also have the reverse of disabling only the beatmap's combo colors and keeping the skin (especially when it's harmless things like combobursts)? Some mappers use really poor choices of combo colors like dark blue that make approach circles almost invisible when the background is dim (which I know a lot of people do, myself included).

Shouldn't be that hard to implement as well.
But yeah, I like this idea. When I'm playing a wintry song with a snowy BG, I don't wanna see red circles, I wanna see which colours the mapper chose to make the map more immersive, while keeping my skin at the same time.

Would give stars but sadly I have none.

4. Bumping threads without content in the bump post is forbidden. Such foul necromantic acts may come with harsh punishment if done repeatedly.
Just to add to the conversation:

While skin does include beatmap colors, it would be better if they were separate. For example we have the following toggles:
Ignore ALL beatmap skins
Ignore individual beatmap skin
Use default skin while editing

IMO it would be better to split the beatmap skin into 2 sets and fix the edit color bug:
Ignore ALL beatmap skins
Ignore ALL beatmap colors
Ignore individual beatmap skin
Ignore individual beatmap color
Use default skin + beatmap color while editing
