Here's a photoshopped pic of the suggestion:
Click me!

Isn't it cool? I think it can be quite refreshing, especially for old players

What I suggest is:
- customizable background of the title screen
- probably customizable interface button colours (through color keys like I did in the pic) or images (less coding)
But the osu! logo (cookie) remains completely unmodifiable, cause it's what the logo is for
All this data can be placed in %osu!%/data/interface/ for example, not in skins folder

About background:
Yeah, we can already do stuff like in this thread - t/47896&start=0
But the image is in the foreground and it overlaps osu! logo and even osu! copyright notes on the left and generally looks bad

Looking forward to receive an answer from you, peppy

I would personally love this, but I am not sure how much peppy will though.

Alright, so apparently the message hasn't gotten to you guys yet.

The reason why peppy "fixed" the title.png is precisely and *solely* because people were abusing it and modifying it to change the appearance of the menu. It's for this reason that other previous requests for this sort of thing were denied, and for the same reason why this request will almost certainly be denied as well.

It still works afaik

My feature request is a little different, cause it's also about interface look
I think it would be a good idea, if interface images are for example in %osu!%/data/interface/ . Not in skin folder

why is changing the menu considered abuse? lol

Editing files in data/ is tracked as game modifications and classified in the same bracket as hacking or cheating.

I do have plans on implementing this kind of skinning properly, at some point in the future.

title.png is a completely broken way to fix the lack of a proper feature.

Glad it's being thought of to skin properly, though. There's so much to be skinned, but so little we can actually do.

You can still technically change title.png pretty easily (I made a script which automatically did it), but I obviously deleted it since it falls under hacking.

Even just a customizable background of the main menu would be great!

Being able to do more than just that would be even better.

I can say with a fair amount of confidence that the cookie and the copyright won't be skinnable.

Just a background change would be nice. If peppy doesn't approve of anything more, I don't care to push to change his mind.

Mmh seems great, I totally agree. Even if it's just a customisable background, just to refresh the game for old players ^^

Would be sexy, even if I'd stink at making my own.

Probably the only thing I'm looking forward to change-wise. Would totally refresh the game for me.
Full support.

peppy says (according to what i remember) is that you cannot edit the core files, it will included as hacking...

what about this:
you can change the BG and the buttons, but you cannot change the osu! logo, except that you make it with some values in an ini.
and the copyright will be made in a way that it can be seen over all colors
