My approach in the osu!stream skin was to place the light source directly above the spinner. That way, lighting stays consistent even as it spins.LuigiHann wrote:
Thanks! The spinner is going to be a challenge because my "apply lighting effects to literally everything" strategy is going to be thrown off by the fact that the spinner sprite doesn't have a fixed top and bottom, but I'll come up with something

I'm really liking the progress you've been making 
Keep up the good work!
One suggestion though: could you change the cursor to be a bit easier to track? I found that a transparent middle (especially when combined with the light color of the cursor itself) makes the cursor more difficult to follow during faster play. Maybe try adding more contrast to the cursor, or even just darkening the middle?

http://puu.sh/7tkOc.osk Here's the full skin, with both HD and standard versions of everything. If you have a preview version from earlier, you should delete it to install this, or just delete the cursortrail and particle files from the old version.

I've darkened the glow around the cross, let me know if that helps.YayMii wrote:

Thanks! I'll go through those later. I had a version on my old computer that I got on, like, LiveJournal, no idea how I'd find it again.Inori wrote:

I didn't really notice much of a difference :/ (although it might just not be as visible at a non-@2x resolution). But I was thinking more along the lines of darkening the cursor-middle and/or making it easier to see.
Anyways:
1. If you're not using the new-style spinner, you should add "Version: 1" to your skin.ini, otherwise some people will just see the default.
2. Have you tried using transparent particles instead of omitting them completely? It makes the hitbursts display in a less-intrusive manner, but I can understand if you're keeping it this way for authenticity.

http://puu.sh/7zHLu New version! I may still update the sliderball, but otherwise this is a complete skin.
1. Thanks!
2. I tried with the particles and I just didn't like the way that effect works with the larger hitbursts.
For people who like particles/smaller hitbursts, here's a zip with mini hitbursts and star-shaped particles that should suit modern players well: http://puu.sh/7zHLz.zip
I think I understand better what you mean about the cursor. I darkened the whole inner area so it's contrast is higher overall. Maybe that will help.YayMii wrote:

This skin is definitely worth using.
Love for the mod icons

Thanks! The mod icons went through a few revisions so I'm glad you like how they turned out!Ayu wrote:

Ooh, I love it! Thanks for listening to feedback 
EDIT: Oh, another thing I noticed (can't believe I didn't notice it earlier
): The mode selection graphic should actually be wider than the others, and that's what's causing it to be off-centred. It should be 88px (or 176px @2x) wide. Oh, and speaking of mods, DoubleTime is actually 1.5x and HalfTime is actually 0.75x, so the numbers you put are a tiny bit misleading. It might be better to just put the full mod name.

Made those changes locally, and I'll include them when I post version 1.0 sometime soon. Thanks so much!YayMii wrote:

Updated to version 1.0! New sounds, minor mod tweaks, and HD sliderball are new for people who have the previous version, and all kinds of new stuff if you haven't been paying attention. Download it now!
Looks great! Always wonderful to see an HD remake of the skin I basically joined osu! with. Keep up the good work!
wow how did this end here?
Not sure why but the Taiko's Drum Hit Effect got moved from where it should be. Now the hit effect of the Taiko overlaps each other.
Otherwise everything looks nicer and cleaner than before. Good job!

I've updated it again with an HD sliderball, so it's done for now. Enjoy!
If anybody thinks the hitbursts are too big/distracting, here's a zip with mini hitbursts and particles: http://puu.sh/7zHLz.zip
