Peppy preferred if I didn't reskin osu!stream for osu! standard, so I used inspiration from his design as a jumping off point for another original skin. This is virtually the polar opposite of Nexus; bright, colourful and whimsical. Several concepts come straight from osu!stream, but everything came together cohesively enough as an original concept. The difficulty meter was a pain in the ass to get right.

Voicework by Lilyko whom I dedicate this skin to — thank you and much love ♥♥

Yeah, four skins in two months. I'm worn out from it for now. Don't expect anything from me for a while.

I do think this makes me the most prolific skinner in of sheer number of skins. That's probably not a good thing.

You are my Hero! *_____*
Edit: I just watched some Gameplay of Osu!stream then I found this. xD

Wobble on, spinner!

When you make a spinner make sure it uses even dimensions.

As always, Xaio, amazing skin!

Really pretty skin, looks nice

Xiao, You have done it again.

Absolute BEAST of a skin. I personally (Being a male) would have preferred this the same colour scheme as Nexus, but otherwise...It is awesome!!!

I love you (100% Certified Homo.)

Keep up the good work, your a talented guy and someone needs to pay you money to do the things you do. (That's not me offering by the way )

Damn it, Xiao; stop giving me multiple orgasms.

Haha sorry for using it without asking. xD
I just love those :3 faces. ^w^

I saw the avatar then saw your current forum title.

It fits, I say.

As usual, another fantastic skin. Words cannot express how skilled you are. I like how you added the Current Combo indicator using the scorebar; very clever and I haven't seen it used before. Almost gives it an arcadey feel xD.

I would recommend trimming the image a little, though. There is transparency on the bottom and right of the image that can be removed with no effect to the skin itself, which will (slightly) improve performance.

An inspiration to everyone in the community, I say.

It's motivating to see such an awesome skin, and that might be a spur for someone to make an awesome map.

Nice work again, Xiao.

Amazing skin as always *-*

Some small changes. Not worth a total re if you already have the skin.

Hey, I'm a dude and my favourite colour is pink. To each his own! Regardless, I wanted to use colours similar to osu! default; namely, pink and white. Take osu! standard, osu!stream then mix in a bit of my sem — er, stylistic approach — and you get this.

Pink is also the favourite colour of the person I dedicated this to.

Sorry. I've been improving my finger speed on osu! standard. I can't help it!



Thanks for the comments ♥

I think you're sexy Xiao.

hmm, well since you're optimizing stuff...

1. Pngout will compress your pngs, removing extra chunks so that only the absolutely necessary data remains.
2. Optipng plays with the png filters and does a pretty good job at quickly compressing by default (though it has options for taking much longer).
3. Pngslim is a script that brute forces the compression of pngout, along with a number of other compressors to get a very small file size, but usually only less than 2% gains on pngout for a lot longer. It also has pngout and optipng binaries included, as well as a number of others, but those two do most of the work.

Pngslim takes way too long to be worthwhile unless you have a lot of time on your hands (leave computer on overnight). using optipng first and pngout second will do a good job, though if you only do one, pngout does the best.

here's my edit of the spinner. I think I got most of the wobble out.

I completely understand now. This is a very good twist to the default osu! skin. I like it very much. Well done again

Awesome skin, as usual Xiao You are impressive.

My 2 cents: I find your scorebar absolutely unreadable, I just cannot quickly see if I am in the red zone or not.
Except that, your idea of using the scorebar to show the current combo is genius

Nice

EDIT: I noticed a little glitch on your ranking-D-small (or is it voluntary?):

needs moar pink

I think that the dark purple should be lightened or changed to a different colour altogether. It makes it very difficult to see approach circles against dark backgrounds.

Oh god Xiao, this is awesome, very awesome.

Not a mistake. Look at the other grades.

That's easily editable in the skin.ini. I'm not too keen on reing for a single line change in that file, but I'll keep it in mind if I make an update.

Yeah, it was just a suggestion for a part of your next update. Naturally, it's better for the proprietor of a skin to alter something which causes issue with somebody, but changing the colour myself will certainly be easy enough.

Will do.

Big update coming: going to add for Taiko and CtB. Stay tuned!

Omg i love this!
Can't wait for Ctb addition!!

oh yea,i love this skin very much

Pretty good skin. gratz

I love it !
Cool..

Gorgeous! I love how clean, but bright and cheerful it is. The sound effects are awesome, too.

Wow...the color scheme of this skin has the exact opposite mood of Nexus.

:/
On one hand, I love this skin.
On the other hand, that spinner is blinding... And I really don't have the knowledge to replace it with something else or anything I would replace it with...

I'm also considering Xi-Style G2 that you just released an hour ago, but I don't really like that spinner either...

I guess I'll at least try this out...

Delete the spinner elements and use the default spinner.

until someone makes a stream that looks like osu! stream's default, this is what I'm using. good job!~

love the bright color O_O

exact opposite of Nexus maybe?

I HATE YOU QUICK REPLY

Its awesome <33 i adore it ^^

Great work ! <3 Use it<3!

Nice Skin.

This is pretty awesome (as expected from you). Do me a favour xiao: when you release a new skin, PM me with a link to it. So I don't find it 9 months later.

(Also, completely off-topic, but are you interested in having a shot at bringing the osu! default skin up-to-date a bit? Throw me a message if you are and we can have a talk )

Woah!! Nice Skin I am Starting To It

Great skin, the only thing that doesn't seem quite right is the count down. It's too slow, so sometimes in fast-beat songs it sound a bit distorted.
Great thing about this map, hidden doesn't seem so hidden

Nice

Skin Horrivel

wow nice skin <3
