Feedback for Noel skin (SD onl;y):
sliderticks are unskinned, it's sliderscorepoint
arrow pause is blanked out, it's used to navigate through the pause/fail screens with arrow keys
mode smalls are inconsistent in its looks
big mode buttons:
"Osu" really? it should be "osu!"
I get that Fruits is the name of Catch the Beat in skinning, but without the context is weird

NOTE: This skin is not based on my preference. This is what BeasttrollMC wants, so please understand that this skin is designed for him.

- sliderscorepoint is not skinned because BeasttrollMC doesnt really care and he prefers it that way.

- Arrow pause is blanked out on purpose hence being transparent.
Navigation is important to maintain a friendly relationship between the user and interface. I know that. But I don't want arrows point at the middle of the screen and surely BeasttrollMC wouldn't want it.
He did say that he wants the continue, retry, and back to be at the right side of the pause/fail screen. So eventually we had a mutual agreement that we will not use the pause-arrows.

A good example would be from YUGEN skin. Although the arrows are there, the background, its just a simple gradient blue to black background.
The thing about it is that it doesn't look messy regardless of the positioning. Now imagine presenting the arrows on the Noel Skin whereas the pause/fail bg. It would look quite messy.


- Indeed, the mode-x-small (except standard) makes it inconsistent. But surely no one would care
(maybe except people who play other modes but surely they won't use that skin simply because the other modes are not skinned. i mean who the hell still uses the default skin).

... actually fuck it, im just making up excuses. I forgot to replace it. Thats my reason. But srsly tho no one would care. This skin is for standard only in the first place.


- "Osu" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ well I haven't heard a lot of people complaining about it besides the minecraft keyoverlay so its fine. lmao.

- "Fruits" I'm pretty sure a lot of people understand the context behind it. Even new players would get it once they know it. Shouldn't matter too much.


If you have anything to say for improving, I'm all ears. (preferably on discord. ewfwefgwg#2221)
But this is a collab, so the way I normally make skins is not applied to Noel skin.
In this situation, I followed what BeasttrollMC wants and I tried my best to make it look as best as possible within my vision.

From the progression of making this skin and your short review, I'll try make better skins (of course, ill take your words and shit i've done into account when I make a new skin)

Thanks for the feedback.
Appreciated.

Have you ever seen 30 Hydrogen atoms in one particle?

Take a look at what I've done in one of my skins, MaterialStuff. I've used a lot of blank canvas to bring the arrows closer. Try making the canvas so long, that the arrow on the right side will appear on the left and just have one arrow.

30 hydrogen atoms in one particle?

what?

Anyways, I forgot to mention that yes, you can manipulate the positioning of the arrows. I am aware of that. But no matter, what the thing about it is that it will always position in CENTRE. The only thing you can do about it is making it close or far apart from each other.
Making canvas so long that the right side will appear on the left doesn't make sense at all. It's not like a running track. It will just be out of the screen.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.
If so, please give a more in-depth detail and solution about this.

Thanks.

All the skins look very nice and you can clearly see that it took huge effort to create all this. Probs guys!!

Also, to the before mentioned "bug" with the konno yuuki skin: It also happens for me, the skin causes HUGE lag spikes and eventually even lag Windows completely if the game is closed. I tried to fix this by playing on Stable (I usually play on Cutting Edge) and it didn't fix anything. A friend of mine tested playing with the skin it's not happening for him even though we have the same ingame settings and almost same pc specs.
I don't know what could cause this but I'm leaving this here since a fix is required.

Just found out that compatibilty mode fixes this problem but it adds to input lag (im around .3 - .4ms and now at .5ms)

Apologises for the lag you have experienced.

Delete the play-skip animation.
If doesn't get better, delete any animation.

This happens due to your ram being used.. like a lot.

For the ro-500 skin, Would it be possible to add a center to the spinner? For my part, it's impossible to do spinners properly without actually having a center to focus on. A shame really since it's the only thing that makes this skin unreadable for me.

And although not gamebreaking, I think the comma for the accuracy tally is broken throughout all the skins

As you can see, the comma sign is considerably lower than it should be (Played on 1920x1080)

For sure, yes you can add a center to the spinner. The image of spinner-circle, the centre is completely transparent. So you can just add a object at the centre then save it as .png
Done.
But just to clairfy, I will not change the entire .osk for that spinner. This is your problem. Otherwise, just copy and paste a different skin's spinner. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
IF you're truly having difficulty making the centre object, just pm me on discord ewfwefgwg#2221 and i'll quickly make it for you. <3


In some people's case like yours, it is possible to encounter a comma.
In my case, I don't encounter it.

I actually have no idea why this happens to certain people but surely, this isn't the only skin that has the comma thing.

Best way to fix the comma is just copy and pasting the score-dot then rename it to score-comma.

Sorry for the troubles you've gone through.

Apparently i have i problem with Noel edition. While using this skin scores are not getting submited to bancho. I don't have this problem while using other skins or Yukino version.

Relationship between a skin and submitting scores to bancho server is a flat-out zero
So the rundown is that either the server in your area is acting retarded and/or your internet also acting retarded. Idk.

Some elements in the Kafuu Chino skin does not appear in game with compatibility mode enabled, like ranking letters in the ranking panel and the pause-overlay. Is this normal?

Yeah, its normal. It can happen.
osu! doesnt handle very well when it comes to images that have huge dimension size.

normally restarting the game works regardless of compatibility mode enabled.
(potentially the RAM could be the main problem tho. eg Outdated)

if it doesnt work then i have no idea. maybe check the skin folder? idk.

about the comma problem, it gets drawn based on what country you're on. Since I'm in Poland and decimals are separated with a comma there, it is used then.
However, you being in New Zealand, causes you to see the dot

Hi!
I'm interested in skinning since a while now and I never succeeded to figure out how to skin the top part of the menu... i mean I knew it was about the "mode-xxx-small" etc but I never found the right size of the image, did you already know about it or did you just test it step by step to get the right template ? For three months i was unable to do it properly XD
Congrats for finding it and for these awesome skins ! Nice work !

Hello.
Are you asking for help regarding the mode-x-small?
You can use the mode-x-small from the skins i made and use them as a reference.
Surely, if you go to skins! discord server they may provide some help for you.
Otherwise dm me ewfwefgwg#2221 (im on holiday trip so I may not reply in a fast manner)

I tested it step by step. To my knowledge, back then there was no template for it because no one really has skinned the top section of song selection menu.

Thanks :>
