Something like this?
This is actually something I've wanted for a long time. If this gets implemented, we could make our skins far more coherent and consistent throughout, which I can see only being a good thing!
Take my stars!

This would be awesome and could spawn some new innovation amongst skinners! 
This would be cool to see! I would love to have a different main menu and song list look. Perhaps be able to change the location of some elements as well? that way we can change the menus to the extent of how they change them in Stepmania or Lunatic Rave 2?
Support. I can customize the song select menu.
I've been wanting to be able to change the colour/appearance of the timebar/clock ingame for a while now, since it's really hard to see on some backgrounds and not everyone wants to use hard dim to be able to see how far they are into songs.
Skinning other elements would be great too, I'll see if I can think of anything more I'd love.

Not sure, but the clock thing seems to be actually generated by the program itself.Legxis wrote:

However, it shouldn't be hard to make the colour and opacity of it changeable through the skin.ini
Over all, a more customizable UI would be ideal, and from my experience with making simple games and such in Java (Albeit, it's not the same programming language as osu! is made in, both of them are still OOP programming languages.) it really shouldn't be that hard to achieve this.
(Unless peppy somehow hardcoded most of the variables while making osu!)
Definitly support.
And it should be possible to just change the clock or the progress bar to a custom image, which will get cut, shouldn't it?

That shouldn't be that hard, not sure how it works in C# or whatever osu! is made in, but there's a scissor method in OpenGL which does just that.QuestCube wrote:

A fair portion of the UI is customisable and is currently sufficient enough imo. The rest of it should be left alone as is, serving its purpose of presenting the game's graphical layout and appearance. No support.

If you don't want those parts modified, you simply wouldn't need to modify them, tho.LoliFlan wrote:

that's not quite it. it's more so it's nice having parts untouched. i feel it'd be better having at least some parts of the game left default

While I can agree with the fact that it's always nice to have some stuff left default, some people don't like that.deadbeat wrote:

And besides, just because a feature is available, doesn't mean that you need to use it.
If you want some parts to be left untouched, you could just let them be left untouched. ^^'
i think you're misunderstanding me \:D/
oh well, whatever. doesn't really matter what i say, unless this gets denied, i doubt you'll change your thought process on this matter

If it makes the game more enjoyable to some people and there are no downsides, then why would a game developer not want to add it? A game is about having fun and generating a positive player experience. peppy should want to maximize that experience in anyway that he can. As an end user for a skin, we can always remove parts we don't like or we can decide not to use that skin to begin with and let those who appreciate it more enjoy it.
It cannot harm our playing experience, and it has the potential to enhance the experience of others, so I find little valid reasoning not to add this. Sure you can go ahead and argue that all players should be playing with an interface that resembles part of your work, but what does it matter how people enjoy your creation? Is it really that important to limit elements to just those that players will be most likely to skin?

I support this. We should have a main menu that can be customized by a skin. The reason being? Some people don't speak English, and the main menu is fully in English. A friend of mine made a custom UI for osu! and it looked really cool, it had Asuna from Sword Art Online posed on the Osu! big menu button and the other buttons for playing and editing were in Japanese. But an update took that away from us and we can no longer use the custom UIs, if we do, we're banned. If people don't want to change their UI, that's fine. I support a fully skin customization of the main menu, but if this eventually does get denied, at least make it so when you select a language like Japanese, the main menu buttons are in Japanese. That'd be really nice.

If all menu-button-xxx.png and overlay-xxx.png would be skinnable, that would be possible.Miles Eremita wrote:

It would be fine, if you could skin the user-bg.png and user-border.png files, so that we can make this matching our skins like this:
As the older images don't work anymore, what elements is this applying to?
I'm fine with the song select (I kinda like it tbh), but please, Keep the Osu!Cookie unskinnable
Why? For the game itself

Hi All,
I was told to post my idea here because it was a duplicate so here it is
"I think it would be a good idea if skins had the ability to be able to move Osu! elements/objects around, such as the giant start-menu Osu! image and menu behind it. Imagine it could be moved downward-right and made smaller to reveal a custom clean background such as and while having a slight transparency to it:
So that's one idea; to be able to manipulate objects you currently can't (I know you can have a custom background). I think a simple way to do this and to have it compatible with all resolutions would be to say, in the skin.ini, have the menu-big-button-logo-thing, as:
[ Osu!MenuLogo ]
transparency: 50%
location: SE (South East, so snapping the border of it to the corners)
locationpadding: 0% 0% 1.2% 1.2% (percent of screen that padding will be: Top, Left, Right, Bottom)
selectorsdirection: N (north so then the single,multi, etc come up north. Or, West would look better perhaps)
profilebox: SE
profileboxpadding: 0% 0% 2.3% 2.3% (same as 'locationpadding' but for the profile summary. In this example, it would be inside the bottom of the menu)
profileboxtransparency: 50%
Once again I'm only throwing ideas out there to see if you guys agree with this on me.
I quite like the options menu, but maybe as an idea the section buttons be at the top?
[ Options ]
navbar: Top (I know.... reminded me of HTML too....)
I'm only throwing ideas out there as I go through Osu! as I'm typing to come up with ideas. I understand that if these ideas are implemented that it has the possibility to cause many bugs. But I think as a community of hidden devs, supporters, idea people, artists, we could maybe help sort out these bugs.
And now I'm out of ideas for this proposal. The main idea of this was to type my idea in forums with only the main menu in mind because I noticed that in terms of skinning, it doesn't have much customizability.
I love this idea and I think it would inspire some more skinners, and increase customizability of Osu! to be more unique on each computer."
So yeah, that's my duplicate post. I would really like to see this feature in Osu! in the future. Or maybe, Peppy have already done this and have implemented this in Osu!Next
Or maybe not... We shall see!

Or maybe not... We shall see!Interested, I'll throw a star or two. I don't think peppy will allow font change, but that's about the only part of the UI he's said nope to, so why not.
Please yes
This will get shot down like the fonts because "it's part of a design"
calling it now
calling it now
Yeah, I'm also scared that this wont get implemented, BUT I do think that it would bring HEAPS more customizability to each and every Osu! on each and every computer because the player would be able to change Osu! exactly the way he/she wants it. But then again, Peppy could take one glance at this and go "Nope, not having this" and it would be over...Shizuyi wrote:

Just realised.... At this point, skins will starting hitting the 100MB mark to download... If we keep going like this.Sebitalol wrote:

Not to mention, when all the UI skinable, it should allow us to animate them
Just added 6 more, even if this is out of reach I want it so so so SO bad!

Recent skinning requests have me bumping this thread for their sake
I will post my idea/thoughs just here, instead of making a dupliccate.
The Cookie and everything related to it have to be unskinnable in the future. But it would be really good if we could skin more of the UI in the song selection.Bara- wrote:

Why? For the game itself
Here are the party I would love it if we could skin them:
1 and 2: Sort/Group by X. In some cases cases the default font look ugly. We "can" skin this with some cleverness, but then it looks more ugly then the default.
3: The Background of the song-selection-title. Like 1 and 2 we "can" skin it with cleverness, but it looks really ugly.
4: The bottom of the song-selection. We can make a background, but only until the end of the profle information. everything right from that point will override the osu!cookie, and that is the ugliest I've ever seen.
5: same as 1 and 2
selection-tab let us change the colour of the text on it.

Possible solutions
1, 2 and 5: just add something like group.png, search.png and sort.png or song-selecction-group/sort/search.png
4: solution isn't really difficult, just let the cookie override everything
5: add something like song-selection-background.png and let the text override everything
selection-tab: add in the skin.ini the lines: SelectionTabActiveText and SelectionTabInactiveText

By you mean making everything skinnable, that also implies that you want even the osu!Logo Skinned which is what peppy doesn't want (I believe).
Also, I think the new Lazer Client is gonna almost every aspect of the game skinned.
A must-have feature that enhances the game's look to the next level.
I think it would be better if some elements of the game still leave the same and uneditable... Just for osu! to keep its signature design (how do I put it on words 
) I think... But this still is a very great idea!
