It's Clearium's 10 year anniversary, and I'm celebrating it with a complete overhaul. This time around, you'll get a more coherent design as well as support for all gamemodes.
But, in case you're new here, Clearium is a no BS skin that gets straight to the point. Minimal, but with eye candy where it counts. Mania gets prioritised, but other modes should play just fine. As always, mania supports 1-10k.

An absolutely massive thanks to Pannari for getting me started with osu skinning and encouraging me to start this project in 2014. I showed him a hitcircle sketch and he was like yo that's sick. Then this skin happened. Thank you for being so encouraging.
I also want to mention DJ Orange, who had a massive influence on mania skinning back in the day. Clearium is a replica of his METALIC SKIN, and he gave me permission to use the very closely resembling keys and judgments in my own skin. The mania gameplay has been carrying Clearium hard because of that, so I'm really thankful for it. I'd love to show proof but old osu PMs can't be viewed anymore, and sadly osu support couldn't help me retrieve them.
And last but not least, thank you to all the early adopters of the skin who encouraged me to keep going, especially early on. Some notable mentions are Evening, LeiN- and AncuL. If I'm forgetting anyone who used it extensively and talked to me about it, I'm sorry. It's been a long time. I will cherish the memories from the past decade surrounding not only this skin but osu as a whole. It's been a hell of a ride.

About
While making the skin I've tried to keep things balanced between function and form. That also means there are no combobursts - you'll have to add those yourself if you want them.
Since I want this skin to appeal to a wide audience, I'd appreciate suggestions on things to change for the better, or even something to add to the extras folder. On that note, I would like to add taiko and ctb support at some point, though it's a lot of work and I don't play those modes enough to really optimise them for playing. If I do add more modes, taiko will come first since I've actually played it. Ctb on the other hand.. I might need external feedback for that.

I would like to thank Pannari for helping me out with the skin.ini, the transparent hitcircle, the slider ball, and also converting the skin to SD initially. He was also the one to get me started in the first place. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have bothered making more than the hitcircle concept I made for fun.
Another important user to mention is DJ Orange who let me use a near exact copy of the mania buttons and judgments from his METALIC SKIN. Without those buttons, the mania gameplay just wouldn't be the same.
At last there's TouchFluffyTail who gave me permission to use the default hit lighting from their IIDX Mania skin which greatly improves the experience of the mania playfield.
