I like it, but some points:

-Put a toggle, not everyone will want it.
Q-When they say they remove the backgrounds, is it literal(delete the image, so the skin takes over) or they're just messing with background dim? If the later I fail to see how this feature wouldn't work :/
-If we're already here, maybe extend the personal background option(for supporters) so that you can put more than one background.


Luck there o/

This was already included within the request.

Something pings me.
What if there's a beatmap with multiple backgrounds. (Like each BG for each diff)
Will it randomly choose from one difficulty or just choose from the first difficulty?
(I know it's too far as now, but this would be questionable for the future development.)

Hmm.

It could probably do that. Why not? lol

Hey, how about a beatmap with video/story board?

Is it possible to play video/story board at the main menu?
(I think I've gone too far...)

Here's how I'd want it done:
  1. Background is from the selected difficulty in the song list (default would be the one with least star rating).
  2. Full brightness (no dimming).
  3. Toggleable. (for example, a "Show current song background in main screen" toggle)
For supporter tag requirement, that's up to peppy.

support.

shouldn't matter if it's a video.
Widescreen problem could be solved by making a "fit" option (would like shit but w/e best you can get)
Storyboard maps have a background image or something right? If not, glhf playing storyboard on the menu might get it a little.

Good idea, but that whole thing with widescreen monitors may be an issue.

Why would it be? Just display it as usual (in song list and during gameplay).

I became Supporter just to vote on this. Will stay a Supporter, if it is needed to use this feature :D

This is actually a really cool concept / Idea +support!

It's been a while, guess it's time for a bump :D

If you can enable this in the options, then I see no reason why to not add this. I think this is a fantastic feature, and of course probably for supporters only.
the only payer who will suffer from this is rrtyui who is grey everything zz

Definitely +1 with a section in the Options menu to enable or disable dynamic backgrounds! This would make the game even more amazing!

Sounds good to me.

Deleting Backgrounds makes osu! ANGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYY

Jokes aside. Use the default background, I'd guess.

this looks good but appearances are deceptive
some beatmaps have horrible images, and others simply will not look well in the osu main menu

to give you some examples

Still works out for plenty beatmaps though. The feature just acts like a design, not an image viewer lol.

Star'd x10 . totally want this

The quality would be very inconsistent so idk.

How? If the new feature will allow us to set the background image of the song playing or a fixed background image you could still change one image if you disliked it...

Why stop here? Why not have video playback of backgrounds similar to dreamscenes?

I don't see this as a feature I need. I think it would be neat, but not needed. (In my opinion) Mainly because I don't really use Osu! as a music player and therefore don't spend any time at all staring at my background on the main menu. But of course, thats just me.
MajusS
Did it happen yet?

Nope, lol.

This^^. osu! is not a music player. I still think the idea is neat tho, it could be used for eye candy.


just my 2c.

Would be cool it can just load up a glsl script like this

I was going to create a new request but it would be a duplicate of this one, so I'll post here anyway...

Today I got a bug where the beatmap backgrounds show on the main menu, guess this wouldn't be hard to implement then.
I took some screenshots, but when I started recording it the "bug" fixed itself ;-;


I have no other clue of how this happened beside the fact osu was open while my pc were asleep for more than 10 hours. Maybe it has to do with the latest update that fixed the black screen after a long time afk?

This is not a request, this is a bug report. This should go to the help subforum
