When we dim the background, it would always be dimmed to the color that the mapper set it as.
It is uncomfortable to play a map that has dark blue hitcircles/approach circle when the dim is also dark blue (which happens to half the maps I have for some reason).
So I want to propose that players can choose the base colors the beatmaps get dimmed into.
I personally would like to use a black dim, but would also want the ability to change to a different color dim when there is black hitcircles.

Perhaps this can be made into a skinable option or permanent ingame option?

as far as i'm aware, mappers can't set a dim colour. it should be dimming to black. :/

mappers can't set the dim or they shouldn't be "allowed"? O_o

no reason to let them set it. as i said. it should just dim to black(or just darken a lot). if that's not happening, then something is wrong

Well, it's dimming at random colors for me, so something is wrong...

Just disable the skin so the hitcircles are a different color

It makes them default?! How did I not know this..
and if you don't like the default combo colours, just change them to your own liking.

However, this request still stands I guess. This was just one solution to a problem.

This guy provided us with a pretty cool example

for example, even my own beatmap : http://osu.ppy.sh/s/25271

has dark color BG, and dark approach circle so fading out BG won't help. Only way to improve its visibility is to actually replace the BG with bright color . Some beatmaps use White + Black Circle with whiteish background, which makes circle reading kinda bit frustrating regardless of faded out or not.

I temporarily use green-color background for those maps by replacing the jpg file but I don't think this is what peppy wants (and something that might not be possible in future).

Maybe add something like this?


Osu! already allows us to fade our background out to black color, and why not to other colors? some approach circles are just very hard to read with default background or black background.

Another idea would be customizing the background it fades to. Maybe a background.png in the skin folder, or something?

The colors should be completely customizable

Okay my thread was locked because it's a duplicate of this.
How about setting the background dim color in the default settings or in the skin file?
Maybe even use a dim "image" to replace the other background image

I don't think it should be the mappers choice, but the players choice.

I bump this because @Sakisan is exactly what I wanted to propose. Dimming into different colors than black would be awesome. Some players prefer to play using lighter shades, such as grey or even white (look SiLviA for example), I also find this particularly useful in some maps. Adding a little option to set the color in the graphics menu won't hurt anyone, especially when we can already disable the specific map skin in the fun spoiler.

I personally find that I can't play well on 100% dim, I'd rather have it all be white than black, so that option would be nice, I agree.

Just as a setting in the settings menu or in the skin you're using would be great, especially for players like rrtyui who replaces the background of beatmaps to change the background color.

I'm supporting you! If we could use a white background DIM with black notes, it would be so amazing :D

I'd love to make a yellow background then have dark circles (testing the black and yellow super-contrast) :D

Bumping this.

I can tell that a lot of players would love to see this included in the game and think this would be an excellent addition.

I think this feature would be awesome for this game.
It's fun to play around with different solid color bg's but too much of a hassle right now.
The only (automated) alternative right now would be (for someone) to create a tool which replaces the bg with a new bg of choice while keeping the old one safe/renamed for a selection of maps.
also: why not add a skin combo color picker in the same style?

I support being able to change background color dim from black to any other color (e.g gray) on the spot through a setting

Bumping this thread, but throwing some votes to kind to request this more as an accessibility option than anything else.

Explaining a bit better, I've had keratoconus since I started playing this game, but as the disease progressed and I underwent a surgery around two years ago to implant intacs to my right eye the glare issues in my vision got worse and now I see halos around every bright object in a dark background unless I close my right eye, this makes the game very annoying to play without using the magnifier function in Windows to invert colors making it effectively a white BG with black circles. But of course, this inverts every color in everything not only in osu and is a makeshift solution that works but at the expense of making the game uglier and browsing other applications while playing super weird.

So yeah, I would really appreciate if I could just change the dim color and customize the circle and cursor colors through the skin without having to invert the colors of everything on my screen.

Is this on the pipeline for osu!lazer? I was testing out some lazer features as of late and was a little disappointed this hasn't been added yet. I've always struggled with eye strain playing osu! over the years and have wondered if a light background with dark skin elements could help me out. Seems like it would help the previous poster a lot as well... Hope we can see this implemented sometime soon.
