I still have some tweaking to do on the effect, but it's pretty cool to see in motion. Try out the development version ( win / mac ) to see for yourself!

Disclaimer: the development version changes frequently and is probably full of bugs, (even more than the regular version. ;) )

Tell me what you think.

I've added a few more touches. It's starting to look pretty good now.

The development versions have been updated. Try it out yourself.

Right now, if you're in pure-viewing mode (no "You Play" tracks), it'll use the effect on every note. As soon as you set one or more "You Play" tracks, the effect is only used for your notes.

Nice!!!! Really neat! Love it but I hope you will put an option to put/remove it!

Thanks

Yeah by 0.6.3 or so (when I get the options screen in there), you'll be able to turn the sparks (and/or the note shadows) off, to improve game performance.

How about sparks with a base color as same as the color used to show the notes while playing it, instead of white.

It would be like "hitting the note." Get it?

They are already tinted a little in the color of the note, but it's subtle. Maybe I should make it more visible...

How about this color theme, close to a single color rainbow palette:

White - Light Base color - Base color - Darker base color - Outer edges.
