"# Interface\n\n![](img/intro-screen.jpg \"Introduction screen\")\n\n## Main Menu\n\n![](img/main-menu.jpg \"Main Menu\")\n\nThe [osu!cookie](/wiki/Glossary#cookie) \\[1\\] pulses according to the [BPM](/wiki/Beatmapping/Beats_per_minute) of any song currently playing on the main menu. In addition, bars will extend out of the osu!cookie in accordance to the song's volume. If no song is playing, it pulses at a slow 60 BPM. The elements of the main menu are as follows:\n\n- \\[2\\] Click Play (`P`) or the logo to switch to the Solo mode song selection screen.\n- \\[3\\] Click Edit (`E`) to open the Editor mode song selection screen.\n- \\[4\\] Click Options (`O`) to go to the Options screen.\n- \\[5\\] Click Exit (`Esc`) to exit osu!.\n- \\[6\\] A random useful tip is displayed below the menu.\n- \\[7\\] In the lower-left is a link to the osu! website, as well as copyright information.\n- \\[8\\] Connection result to [Bancho](/wiki/Glossary#bancho)! In this picture it is not shown, but the connection result looks like a chain link.\n- \\[9\\] In the bottom right are the chat controls for the extended [chat window](/wiki/Chat_Console) (called \"Player List\" here) and the regular chat window (`F9` & `F8`, respectively).\n- \\[10\\] In the upper right is the osu! jukebox which plays the songs in random order. The top shows the song currently playing. The buttons, from left to right, do as follows:\n - Previous Track\n - Play\n - Pause\n - Stop (the difference between Play and Stop is that Stop will reset the song to the beginning, while Pause simply pauses it)\n - Next Track\n - View Song Info. This toggles the top bar showing the song info between being permanent and temporary. When permanent, the info bar will stay visible until it fades out with the rest of the UI. When temporary, it will disappear a little while after a song has been chosen. It will stay hidden until it is toggled again, or another song plays.\n- \\[11\\] The number of beatmaps you have available, how long your osu!client has been running, and your system clock.\n- \\[12\\] Your profile, click on it to display the User Options (see below).\n\n## User Options\n\n![](img/user-options.jpg \"User Options\")\n\nAccess this screen by clicking your profile at the top left of the main menu.

The [mods](/wiki/Game_modifier) that you have activated (see #12), as well as the option to select them. The option marked \"Free Mods\" toggles whether or not players can select their own mods. If yes, they can pick any combination of mods *except for speed-altering mods like [Double Time](/wiki/Game_modifier/Double_Time)*. If no, the host decides what mods will be used. The host can pick speed-altering mods regardless of whether or not Free Mods is turned on.\n8
