One suggestion: make the 100s and 50s different colors from 300. Right now it's really difficult to tell how well I'm hitting because I usually rely on different colors to tell when I'm not getting 300s; it's too hard to read the 100 at a glance while playing.

I'll probably just edit the colors myself if you decide not to do it :)

I actually already did edit it. Ended up leaving 300 alone, 100 is yellow, 50 is red, Miss is purple.

Red looked the worst, and i see 50 the least, so yeah.


Also, xiao, you realize the taiko mod icon isn't used anymore right?

Huh. I exported it using Audacity, but I can't seem to open the menuclick file either.

I can recolour it for you. I originally planned to recolour it just as all other skins do (because when you're playing, colour identification is the fastest way to know what you hit). The only reason I went against it was for aesthetic purposes. I'll recolour it in a few moments; perhaps I'll use Cyclone's colouring system.

Also yeah, I noticed. I just skin it because it's in the folder.

edit: here http://puu.sh/32zX

I decided to use the normal colours because I'm used to them lol

Quick suggestion. You should probably edit any "invisible" elements down to 1 by 1. Sorry for the small, nearly pointless request.

~Edit~
Oh yeah, I forgot. The blue slider border looks kind of odd with the combo colors. Maybe you could color the track blue to match? Or at least make the border black to match with the hitcircles.

Nice skin, plays well. Personally like the UI more than anything else. Looks like hticircles drew inspiration from Contease skin
Spinner is a bit wobbly..could probably fix that

I do realize I should have edited them to a 1x1 file but the space saved is so minimal there's virtually no point in me going back to fix it. As for the track colours, everything is editable to a player's preference in the .ini file. I liked the tracks cyan; if you like them black, by all means change it. I thought it made it look very flat so I didn't go with black.

The spinner is 1px off centre. Others and myself ended up finding it quite psychadelic so I left it as is. I also don't know what the skin you mention is but I'll be sure to look it up.


Again, thank you for all the comments.

This skin looks amazing! Although I still might prefer XI for the simplicity of it (not as many colors).

Another suggestions to perfect your skin.


1/ I find the reversearrows odd. The colours used to fill them are too... sharp with the rest of the skin during a play (a perfect white and perfect black).
What I would suggest is to use the same gradation used for your default numbers, i.e. 48-48-48 on the top and 0-0-0 on the bottom of the circle.
So instead of having the first reversearrow, you would have the second one, softer for the eye:

Of course this is only valid for the white note add-on. For the default skin with the white reverse arrow, you would use the same logic, with inverted colours: 255-255-255 and 207-207-207.


2/ Why not put some colours to your ranks? Like you did with your score star recolour add-on and with the red letter D, the ranks X, S, A, B, C would be far more easily recognizable if there was some colour to highlight them (AFAIAC I first check the colour to know my rank, not the letter). X and S in gold, A in green, B in dark blue and C in purple? For SH and XH, I don't know.


These are only suggestions of course.

I originally did that, but I wanted the arrows to purposely look odd. I personally have a grudge against reverse arrows (I break on them far too often), so to combat that I made it as jarring as possible. The gradient is a non-issue, IMO.

I just used traditional osu! colours: http://puu.sh/3llr

★ S A B C D

SH and XH are both white

Hi Xiaounlimited

When I first used your Xi-Style skin a couple of years ago, I was hooked. Over time I tweaked it (Replacing the numbers and the sectionpass audio) but I loved the skin none-the-less.

Nexus... WOW. You did a absolutely AMAZING job on this. Really loving the voices for the countdown and has that...coolness imo.

Well done. Here is to more great skins from you in the future :D
