Kind of hard to adapt to something new after being used to something old for so long but this looks interesting
Thanks for releadates like this and keeping the game fresh

great update

RIP special mode tab. New main menu design looks nice and clean to me (even after seeing old one for so long).

Will have to keep checking up on new stuff, but nice update.

Awesome new skin! Love it

The new default cursor seems very "fluffy" on the edges compared to the older one which was "sharper".
Is there a way to gain access to the older sharper cursor in case we prefer that?

Also, just tested HD on some maps that previously were "HD challenging due to stacking" and it seems like some types of stacking became easier to read while other types of stacking became harder. The different style of object fading led to some time-spacings of notes to blend in more obvious ways and others to blends into each other and be harder to distinguish :v

Overall tho this seems better and a good direction. The new followpoints are great, I was playing with disabled followpoints on my skin for a while but with those new ones I'm going to enable them.

-

After some more experimenting, it seems that invisible skins still provide a better HD experience over the new default osu skin, however this new skin is definitely a lot more readable and feels nice to play with for most average map patterns. The only thing that stood out is that objects blend very strongly in certain time spacings due to how bright the circles are and this makes it impossible to spot the combo number until very late. This might be improved if combo numbers had a darker shade around them.

Some sample maps for HD testing:

Oh god, I love this.

yeah

love the new default skin yeahhhhhhhhhh

Many thanks for your hard work peppy!

Overall I love the new skin
except what the red circle exposed....


The "OSU" logo covers in the rank state..

Looks very sharp and sleek - kinda reminds me of the osu!stream UI.
I keep clicking the mode button every time I want to use mods >_<. Ah well, better get used to it or use F1.

Great job! Look forward to more updates.

Good work.
Can we get new default skin in ZIP ?

^ what he said

I don't want go to school And play to osu! With new skin *Q*

Are you going to allow us to skin the mode icon?

Wow. Osu! Revamped Skin is way better than the original now (Well, last one was much more cartoonish)

so much true

yeahh I saw this on osu!test :3 I was like: OHEMGEETHISISSOAWESOME ok.

very nice

Not liking the spinner all that much. It doesn't give an accurate representation as to how much more I have to spin. I also preferred the cartoon-y hitmarkers of the last skin. It was a lot easier to see whether I got a 300 or 200.

It's generally a step in the right direction, though. I'm looking forward to see the finalized product.

Looks a lot more modern, just started playing a few months ago but I really felt like all the interface was old and deprecated, this one is sleek, I love the new spinner/health bar, the config menu is awesome. I still hate the cursor but that is easily fixed

Overall everything feels new and it's very refreshing.
Great update peppy.

Really nice update.

But i dont really like the new ranking letters. Cant see well the difference between a S and SS, which makes scores scrolling silly.

My opinion though, i'll probably adapt my skin to put back old letters system.

http://osu-ppy-sh.tvgratuite.org/ss/660730
what happen with my playfield >< don't like that ><

Is it possible to get the old skin back? I really don't like the new spinner (it's hard to tell how much you've got left to do), and I'd like the option to use the old circles and stuff too.

Oh wow!!!!

The interface changed by about 4 years or more. Too exciting~~

Oh! great, I really like

Oh wow. Gameplay feels so much more fluid now. ppy pls have my babbies.

Also the default skin isn't half bad. I can actually play with it.

I love the skins xD

Can i get the default skin to mod it into my own skin?

not sure when this will happen, but what you can do, is remove parts from your skin that you want replaced by the default skin. any skin elements that are missing from a skin are replaced with the default skin

good update

:O well i have problem with the update thingy...should i re-install it back?

BEST SKIN EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Dies as a hero*

Agree with spinner. It looks too messy to me and sometimes I can't find cursor after spinning, but otherwise skin is awesome! Really like new followpoints. Also is somebody having problems with cursor? Mines totally freezes while map loading.

Great update. Default skin looks awesome and I love new UI!

Love the new skin^^

But it lags when spinner starts and the osu! sign on the bottom right is blocking my rank

wubwubwub. GJ PEPPY! osu! lives forever! XD

Can't find it, can anyone provide a direct link?

(PS. Maybe an option for "use old skin"?)

http://puu.sh/1eLHw <- old default skin link i found at the link i already gave :p

Love the new skin, it's amazing. *-*

wooow great update

+ㅠ+ nice job this is so sexy

I don't like how notes disappear now, kinda makes the game slack. Also, misses going a little down is very disturbing, and something disturbs me on the new gameplay, I can't read quite as I was able to before. The rest looks really good!

New osu! default skin is much better then the old. osu!stream PC Version Skin mabye?

omg this is so fucking beautiful

It looks good but I need to adapt I guess. I have been playing Osu for 5 years now and it is going to be hard to adapt. I just found out about the mini games but I'm not sure why you guys took it off for the multi player .The main thing I really don't enjoy is when you play the colors don't change :< it is harder to tell which one is which if you guys can at least change the colors for the circles that will be great and thank you.

WoW,, Nice Update !

The old skin can be ed with the updater, just get the template. As for the new UI/Skin: The 'Mode' button has rough edges.

Can't tell if it's just me though.

Oh, now I feel stupid. Thank you.

Hey, could you please provide us with the actual files so it's possible to edit them? I'd like to edit a few small things to fit my likings, I will not release it if you don't want me to (Wasn't planning to anyway)

This will happen at "in-between" resolutions like 1680x1050, where high res sprites are being used but scaled too much. I'll look into fixing this by using lower resolution ones in these cases where possible.

What graphics card are you running on? How long does the lag last for? I could replicate this on my VM, but assumed it was just my VM being a VM as no one else complained.

Looks really great.

The few things I don't like:

1. the ranking letters, hard to determine between SH and XH
2. the spinner, you can't really tell what is going on imo
3. the new slidertick behavior, SV changes are impossible to read now
4. edit: the misses falling down looks really irritating
5. edit2: the difference betwenn played and unplayed difficulty is not so easy to tell: http://puu.sh/2knic

Apart from this, this update is just sexy! <3

It's Beautifull!
4 years playing this game and looking at it now is like seeing a child grow!
Only thing i'll have to get used is the back button after i finish the beatmaps, but that's not a problem at all.
Great job Peppy!

The new skin's great!

Same here. I dont even know why would you add this, it is distracting as hell

I DON'T LIKE THIS SKIN AT ALL!
DON'T DO UNNEEDEDTHING LIKE THIS!
SORRY

Hate the new skin....
Totally made my custom skin looks like scrub D:

Please release the skin files pl0x peppy!!

I love new skin, except I don't need 300, and the cursor, I wanna use my own for the cursor

where's the online stuff after the map was play finished?.. i wanna save those my gameplay into OSZ file...
btw i really like the skin, specially the follow point

scroll down. just click and drag the screen and the ranking information is below it

So whats up with the forced red filter on play-warningarrow.png? Makes the point of having a custom one quite moot...

I wish that the hit images had a bit more color in them, if there's a stream it's hard to notice 100 in the middle of many 300's. ;w; But otherwise, this skin looks awesome.

Whenn CTB, Taiko, and Osu! Mania came back..

I can't play OSU! without them

nice new skin!! :3
i like it-nyaaan~

click on the Modes button beside mods at the bottom of the song selection. you can select your game mode there

Is it possible to recover old skin?
I really don`t know how IT could be nice, i`ve got headache after 10 minutes of it, dropping deep "x", it`s awful.
Where is the key to make all as it was yesterday, if it even exist?

is there any way to override the new default skin and replace it with the old default skin?

the old osu! skin can be ed here t/51694

The new edition seems to be cleaner than before in the way of score displaying, but in fact it do affect our accurate rates for we can't see clearliy what scores we get (they all appear in the same small size and turn out to be the same color ). On this point I do miss the former osu.......Hope this situation can be improved! Thanks to all the staff

Awesome update

stop adding skin elements which are no-use , plz

The new skin is indeed awesome.
The only thing i don't liked was the spinner. Is really difficult to see the cursor.

THIS
UPDATE
JUST
MADE
ME
SAD

Had errors. What should I do?

the new skin is cool,

but can you release the template of the new skin?

Best thing ever is followpoints with direction
It would be cool if we could also change the "density" of them! (change the average distance between each followpoint and another this way)
And the skin as a whole is a lot better in of readability in comparison with the previous default skin
Great job!

I feels like updates season of osu! right now lol too much improvement in UI xD

Nice skin. But new mode select and result screen make me angry. And animated misses - what the hell, who add this?

So good new skin
But it have a little problem when you use custom skin for changing some hitsouds for ex, the old sliderpoint10 / sliderpiont30 become displayed

osu! logo in song select is covering the rank bar.

Nice

I love this update! the game looks so neat now with the new default skin.

Love:
Less Japanese themed. I've always wanted it to look like a regular music game style, if that makes sense. Now it does.
Gamemode changing from play screen.
No big giant exploding 300s, 100s, and 50s.



Dislike:
How the SS looks. Needs to be more noticeable, it just sort of looks like a thicker S.
How the spinner looks. Uhh... needs to be more simple I think.

Cool update!

WTF my fucking antivirus found a virus xD

either allow osu! as a safe program or use something other than avira :p

I FRIGGIN' LOVE HOW THE TAIKO EDITOR CHANGES THE NOTE COLOR AUTOMATICALLY TO RED/BLUE
This is so gonna help in mapping further Taiko diffs so much

Actually made for the lazyasses

me, Luanny, etc. /runs

only what i can say is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

this update is so good HAHAHA

Everything looks great. The only thing that bugs me right now is when I scroll through scores and I'm at the bottom 40 end of the score board and press the arrow to scroll over. It takes me to rank 80 instead of the top at 41. Slightly annoying to have to scroll back to the top to look at the 41st/81st place after scrolling to the bottom.

My only concern is how this will affect future ranking criteria in of hitburst overlapping circles being a much less severe problem with the new hitbursts.

The spinner is on ACID btw o_o and the hit lightning is for some reason half the original size, even on custom skins, which is very confusing at the moment.
The new follow points are brilliant. Using them in my new custom skin as of now!

Overall great job!

@kriers: RC will stay the same, just that it'll be more lenient in that regard, since the RC only mentions "if it renders them invisible/covers them"

I think a down arrow at result screen would be a nice idea since it doesn't seem to be very intuitive to people that they need to scroll down, or a message telling them to scroll down for it, or idk.
