Hey guys, today I came up with an idea:
How about the feature of being able to set a default beatmap background which can be enabled/disabled and would not change the beatmap itself?
It would work like a full-time 100% dim, but you get to choose what background you use.

Not everyone would use this feature, obviously, but I and surely some other players would have a better experience with that feature.
Tell me what you think about this idea ;)

Love the idea, was thinking the same thing. Instead of going through each individual beatmap and setting background dim to 100% or deleting backgrounds entirely (Sorry for making you rage, Osu!), this option would be a great alternative.

*It would also help some of the younger players who have to play osu on family computers with some of those suggestive nightcore maps ;)*

I'd vote if I could, donor raaaaaaank!

So basically giving the playfield.png of skins an actual purpose other than editor? lol

Not a bad idea, it would be nice to have this option.

I voted, even tho I'd rather have my background dim to 100%, I still think this deserves recognition.

I actually like this idea, even though I probably wouldn't use it. Maybe have a "Disable background" option in settings that would allow the playfield.png to be used instead, and therefore would make this a skinnable feature.

I think this is great! Its not like it ruins the gameplay for anyone and the change should be toggleable!

This Feature can't hurt anything if it were to get implemented, at least not what i know off :D

So basically you have the same background as in osu! front page for all Songs? The idea i got from this was that each Song would use that BG. Not sure if its what was suggested. Any way, only gonna throw a start if it is what i think.

This would be excellent, plus we can customize our skins even more :D

This needs to happen. If I intend to ever play this game in a public place I do not want anime women invading my screen on map selection!

I disagree. Map backgrounds are the choice of the mapper, and should (if done properly) reflect how the mapper feels about that song. Using a default background would defeat the purpose of relating the background to the song (psychology).

Don't download maps that are subject to those backgrounds (i.e. TV Size, "kawaii" anime).

If a player feels the need to have a default image for the maps, for me it would just be a blank black screen for everything, why not allow them to do so? I would say over 95% of the songs I have played in this game have some form of anime background that appears during breaks and map selection. I am not strictly speaking of inappropriate images. Personally, I think it would be incredibly nice to just have an option to either set your own background for all maps or just disable map art entirely.

EDIT: I do not disapprove of anime, in fact I enjoy it, but there should definitely be an option to disable or change map art, as an aesthetic. Some map art images are blurry as hell too, which is annoying.

Would certainly make it easy to have every background a custom color

I love the idea.

Problem: Flashlight Mod.
I hate it to use a 100% Dim, i can´t see the circle of FL.
Other way i see a custom Background. Both disturb me by playing.

So i must change the background in the Songs-Folder after i downloaded a new map.


Ouch, that hurts :o

This would be so awesome to have around. I don't like using 100% dim since it makes the lighting weird for me and it sounds like too much of a pain in the ass to change all my beatmap backgrounds into a black picture .-.

Come on, step it up :^)

Also, this is one of my most desired game additions. I think players should be able to choose the background they play on. Also I would prefer having the background of the mappers choice when selecting a map, but still have the option of a skinned playfield while playing the song.

You can skin this "effect" with inputoverlay-key.png.

it's how I play with a gray background without replacing anything in the beatmap.

I tried this but it covered up the hit circles as well.

I would like this feature.

I used OsuBGReplacer. to Change all my BG images. I was dumb enough to use it on all my songs before testing it on one map. Hope it works. lol

EDIT: program worked fine but it also deletes the custom hitsounds in the beatmap skin :(

EDIT2: Replaced dead link. Let me know if it works

This should be added to the game for sure. My friend (Kon) coded me a program that will remove all current beatmap images and replace it with the file overwrite.png. It also has an option to restore all the backgrounds, I use this when I will be playing osu! in public to avoid anime women all over my screen.

agreed. looks like it's not likely to see the request being done after 2 years but i still have hope left :P
someone here wondered if it would be the main menu screen just behind every map. i'd personally preffer 2 individual backgrounds (just if this somehow gets added though)

Eh, I'd wait for osu!next before we call any of these requests "dead"

That said, osu!next is pretty much half-life 3

I thought this would be great if it was implemented. Instead of being stuck with an all black background when the dim is set to 100%, it would be nice if we could choose to see another color other than black; it provides the players with even more choices to approach the game.

Seems pretty cool to me. I can see all kinds of benefits for this. Maybe you have a favorite color that is easy on your eyes, or maybe you want a background with sharp contrast to the skin you are using. Can not see a any real downside to the game play from this so I am all for it
