I love this skin; it fixes all of my problems with the original Xi-Style! Pretty dang good. <3 I'm going to use this skin for a loooooong time.

Wait...So why do you have Xi-Style so much?

XS is so gaudy. No consistent design, poor typeface choice, blatant overuse of tacky effects (scanlines); the list goes on. G2 still suffers from this, because after all, it's still XS. Every time I saw a video using it all I could think of was everything I could have done better. I'm still not pleased with G2 because the original direction -- well, there wasn't really a direction -- sucked. Ultimately I just wanted to make something slightly less shitty so I don't feel as bad.

I'm never happy with anything I make. Isn't everybody like that?

Nah. Accuracy is on par with this, if not better for gameplay.

I love the "Performance gauge" text effect, small and shiny!

Great job as always. It does look alot better than the first Xi-style. So once again nice work. 8-)

But you say you hate this skin, so by applying that logic...

*goes to cry in the corner*

Still, Xi is the most awesome skin i've played with to date. =D

Stop making awesome skins Xiao... You're making more and more other people's skinworks look like garbage...
Nah, just joking...you've done it again :)
I was a Xi-style user for 2 years, and yeah I do prefer this skin over the original :3

I'll admit that I've always thought that Xi-Style was a bit gaudy. This update looks like sex. Never stop making skins.
Wassaaaa
this skin makes me easier to play osu! is simple and elegant, thanks!

/me bows down to his master.

Xiao. Amazing again. I have all your original skins and I love each and every single one of them. Well done again!

Hawt. After working with osu!stream I'm sick of seeing the current osu! default skin. Need to replace it with something like this :P.

This skin is awesome, but for some reason, I don't quite like this as much as the original skin.

I suppose my main complaint would be size, the size of the hitbursts is really small and I don't really like the look and makes it so I can't use this skin for modding as I might miss finding hidden notes.

And then the combo burst feels really intrusive, like it just has to make its presence known, the combo burst from the old one didn't really do that, it just appeared.

I don't know, you probably won't care about the ramblings of an old Xi skin user but those two things just make the skin unusable for me. Other than that though, I think the rest of the skin looks pretty clean and polished, in fact, I love the spinner.

EDIT: I actually forgot to mention the reverse slider, I don't think it looks that great colored the way it.

There's always the option of taking the original score stars and replacing them. I'm a fan of small score stars; I need to maximize readability in-game or I can't read anything. I've received far more positive reception about this change than I have negative responses.

Unfortunately, I can't give you a high quality set of larger score stars because I forgot to keep a non-rasterized version of the document. The best I can do is upscale slightly if you so desire.

Any suggestions?

I really think that you should make the default osu! skin more stylish. Make Xiao the official skinner and pack his skins. :P

That's not to brown-nose by any means. I'm sure that Xiao has the chops for such a thing.

Yeah I can see that, I'm just in a small minority that likes them big for some reason. I may just take the old hitbursts and use them if they look good enough with the skin.

That is actually a lot better, thank you.

I'm not sure, I would just say make it white like most reverse arrows are. But it's your skin not mine.

Yeah, I like the skin and all, and I think I may actually import the stuff I don't like in this skin from the old one and see if it looks good.

Enlarged score stars: http://puu.sh/4GeQ

I haven't tested them myself because I can't read them. It's not super crisp, but it shouldn't be too bothersome in-game.
I changed the reverse arrow to white, as well as black. Give either a try and see if it's any better.



Hope it helps.

Haha, I don't know about that. osu! default has captured the heart of most people; I don't think I can top it by any means.

Oh wow, I can't believe how awesome you are. This skin is now my default over the first one.

Instead of SS or SSH, why not make it an X or XH like you did for me?

I just now noticed that the slider ball does not reverse direction when it hits a reverse arrow. I don't think this in intentional.

Angst is also an English word, which means dreadful feeling.
