About
HueShift GLOW is the sequel to HueShift Classic, centered around a glowy but not showy design.

osu!Standard

Instead of combo colors, HueShift Glow has object colors:
  1. Hit circles are green and octagonal.
  2. Sliders are blue and circular.
  3. Spinners are purple.
  4. The cursor is pink.
  5. Reverse arrows are orange and semicircular.
These colors aim to increase readability of overlapping or confusing hit objects. Of course, you may turn the colors back to normal if you so desired.

Notice: This skin is incompatible with the Stable Fallback build. If you are on Stable Fallback, please apply the Combo Colors [On, Circle] customization.

Other modes

The Taiko skin has a minimal design with small notes. Kiai Time effects are clear but unintrusive, with only the borders of the highway lighting gold. In V2.0, Taiko hit bursts received a graphical overhaul. The ranking screen no longer shows the default hit300g graphic, and the Japanese writing above the in-game hit bursts can be toggled. In addition, you can toggle between red and blue misses.
The Mania skin has three note shapes: Circle (default), Bar, and Triangle. Notes are color-coded by column / finger.

In Catch the Beat, the saucer is pink (but turns blue during Kiai Time). All fruits are green, with boost fruits having a thick pink outline.


Gameplay

osu!taiko


Review (v1.0)


Design
Steering away from the overused (and expensive) Gotham font in HueShift Classic, HueShift Glow uses Novecento Wide, giving the skin a more friendly, human feeling. Its glow effects, while decorative, are not distracting to the main gameplay.

The color pink is used for elements needing instant or constant attention, like the cursor, CtB catcher, and the play warning arrow. The lighting in Mania can be intensified or disabled. While hit lighting is skinned out, cursor stars and combo burst particles are left in; cursor stars do not appear during gameplay, and the user is free to disable combo bursts in the settings.


Sound Design
The sound design of the skin centers around ethereal echoes and celestial synths, to harmonize with the glow on the visual elements. All menu sounds are skinned, including supporter exclusives.

However, the default set of sounds were subject to numerous user complaints, saying that they were too loud. As a response, two alternate sets of sound effects are now available: Orchestral and Android. Orchestral uses organic orchestral sounds for a calming experience, and Android uses system sounds from the Nexus 5 and 6 smartphones.

The pause loop is taken from ai·shi·te·ru·yo by Akira Sora.

The taiko hitcircles are too small, is that on purpose? Otherwise, great skin

They are that size in order to make denser patterns (overlapping notes) more readable. So yes, that was intentional.

Can you make a version of this but with circular hit circles please? I'm currently using HueShift V1 and liking it. I like the aesthetic of this more but the octagonal hit circles really mess me up during gameplay for some reason, or maybe I just suck at the game.

The combo colors on customization isn't working for me. All the hit circles and sliders just become white. Also, I keep reading the Taiko spinners as large red notes...

Sorry, I probably forgot to clarify that you need to edit Skin.ini too to enable combe colors. It's simple; add // to the lines it tells you to add, and remove // from the lines it tells you to remove.

Okay, well why not include the modified skin.ini in the respective modification folders...?

Because Mania players may want to modify the Skin.ini to change the feedback height or other parameters.

YES!! Finally another skin that supports Thai! I'm so happy right now. :) :)

Please change the strings in polish lang pack:
spinner-clear: czysty
hit300g: świetnie

oh, and also, skins! made a review on this skin

I really like the skin, probably my favourite skin yet. But there's a little thing that's messing me up, how do I turn off those effects when a drop or something like it happens on a map. It really messes up my fps, and i lose my combo. :D :D :D

You can provide the translation yourself! All language packs except Japanese were not translated by me.

Will update spinner-clear from “CZYSTO” to “CZYSTY”. “ŚWIETNIE” is used for hit300k, so please propose a translation for hit300k in place for that.

Great looking skin :O
I found the different hit circle shapes to help me a lot when it came to reading the maps! I normally like when the followpoint is really visible, but in this skin I think something more subtle works best.

For mania, I usually like when 4k has arrows a lot because of how easy it is to read, but circles work better than rectangles so who am I to complain?

All in all it was really enjoyable to play with! (although the standard mode was easier to read than mania)


EDIT: I'd be interesting in learning how to do circles of different shapes for different combos... care to share your secret? I'm looking trough your stuff but I'm nowhere near good enough to find it out by myself lmao

Thanks for the compliment! The “secret” lies in the elements
sliderstartcircle
and
sliderendcircle
; if you include that element, slider heads and tails will look different from hit circles. It's a trick exploited in every skin with tailless sliders. (The caveat is that you can't skin a slider approach circle separately...)

Version 1.1 released! Now circular hit circles are included by default, because you just won't stop asking for them.

The best skin!

Looks really nice ... but I will mod a little bit just make it more comfortable for myself to play XD Thank you for this awesome skin <3

Is there any way to make the position in mania higher? I've tried changing the hit position in skin.ini, but it just changes where the notes need to get pressed at, is there a way to make the actual skin go higher?

Anyone knows how to make it so that the skin doesn't show anything when you hit a perfect note in mania ?

replace the image for the judgement with a transparent .png and should work just fine

Hello.

Your skin is awesome, great work ! ^-^

I just have a simple question ...
Is there a way to disable the "bubble" which pop up when i hit each 100 combos ? I thought it was considered as combo burst but it isn't. I disabled all animation, still popping :x

This is a screenshot : ss/14846135/6196 (white transparent bubbles).


I apologize for the inconvenience but i'm not familiar with manipulating skin :x

Thank you for your help and have a great day !

I can't really see what you mean. I think you mean the subtle brightness in the background, but I couldn't see it unless I cranked up the contrast on Glimpse Image Editor.

Anyway, you can skin it out by replacing star2.png with a blank png file. lighting.png should be blank by default, so you can duplicate that and rename it star2.png.
Ichidy
It worked perfectly ! Thank you very much ! ^-^

Excellent skin, I think I've found my new main. However all of the sounds are rather on the jarring and loud side, particularly the miss sound. The menu sounds and cursor sounds are also pretty loud as well and get rather annoying rather fast. The actual design part of the skin though is great

Guys, don't be complaining about taiko hitcircles. I think that they're supposed to be that small, and if you don't like it, download another taiko skin. It's really not that hard.

You can add color to hit circles by doing both of the following:

1. Copy the images out of \Customization\Combo Colors [On] or \Customization\Combo Colors [On, circle] and into the skin's root folder.

2. Modify the [Colours] section in skin.ini. Change this:

before
// Comment this when using combo colors.
Combo1: 255,255,255
// Uncomment these when using combo colors.
// Combo1: 160,255,10
// Combo2: 51,227,249
// Combo3: 255,29,165
// Combo4: 255,229,54

to this:

after
// Comment this when using combo colors.
// Combo1: 255,255,255
// Uncomment these when using combo colors.
Combo1: 160,255,10
Combo2: 51,227,249
Combo3: 255,29,165
Combo4: 255,229,54
