Yeah i support this. But imo it shouldnt allow a complete black/white screen, just more dark/bright but still let the bg visible. Why? It'll make maps with bright BGs playable and ppl wont delete BGs (or at least thay wont have excuse to), so everyone will be happy. Also, peppy is against the idea of the black screen from what i saw in other topic, so requesting something that allows it is a bit useless.

But ofc there always will be ppl that will think its not dark enough

A brightness option may help some taiko users whose vision gets blurred like happens to me frequently.
Support this. Good luck

Dark combo colours won't play well with dark BGs tho.

Soooo, being able to change the colours of the combo colours too?

nah, actually I thought of something like adding a brightening function at >50% background fade, where circles are brightened for (let's say) 10% when the fade is set to 60%, 20% brightness when fade is set 70%, and so on. 100% fade = 50% extra brightness for notes. the circles won't lose their hue at all, yet they'll be a lot more vivid and visible. yay for ctrl+c ctrl+v @ main post edit

I think this is an excellent idea.Even though people have personal preferences with bgs and brightness ( I prefer playing with a bg) adding this as an option certainly wouldn't hurt. 100% support. ( I like teh bgs 0u0 )

Good idea. I searched for this thread and had one idea in head.

Maybe we could just do like in StepMania, in the options menu, we can choose the brightness (in the said game, from 0 to 100) but those values are capped.

Let's say 20% for the minimal value atm, never saw any 10% BG in ITG so I'll see.

0-100% (full scale) support, every bg is unique and every display has a different brightness/contrast/color temp etc, so this will be excellent for the people who know how to tune a picture and for anyone who are getting a dark or overbright osu experience right now!

I'm certainly fine with the two being put together... just having an "Increase Contrast" button that makes the background go one notch darker and the combo colours go one notch brighter would make me happy.

I play osu!droid with background brightness at 80%(maybe 85%, can't recall the exact number) and find it quite awesome, it seems to help make beats on some maps more noticeable

I like this idea. Some people like to have their face burned from all the contrast, but I don't.

+1 because sometimes the bright backgrounds can "blind" me and I cant see the circles as a result.

if you add it, players would not be necessary to remove or change the background manually.

Considering this has been implemented in the Fun Sucker options on Test Build, isn't this a completed request?

I'd say yes, but i rather wait until it's in public instead of Test so i'll just add bubble for now.

Glad to see this was finally implemented after my same request was shot down overnight three years ago. :roll: Looks like it just needed a bit more polish.

guess it was necessary to describe more thoroughly. :)
I wonder if peppy actually has read this post when deciding to add this kind of feature... well, guess it doesn't matter now, since it's finally live. the only thing I'm wondering about is... why the storyboards can't be disabled whenever somebody with an ACTUAL epilepsy plays the song for the first time? there should be a toggle like that in the options, not only the pause menu in-game. the same goes with multiplayer games, people can't adjust the brightness, because it's impossible to pause... well, I think it's up to the developers what to do with this, I guess.
in every case, thanks a lot for implementing this! :D
