Bug description

Mania skins imported from stable have a few glaring issues and a slew of much less noticable but still present issues. This report does not include the 'hacky LN' issue, as those are not present in my skin.

From my own skin, there are three major issues when imported:

1. The HP bar. The HP bar, instead of being placed vertically to the right of the playfield as it would be in stable, is placed horizontally in the top left as if the element is for the new HP bar.
2. Combo placement. Rather than being in the center of the playfield and placed vertically according to the skin.ini file as in stable, the combo is placed in the bottom left of the screen.
3. score-percent.png renders differently. A common method (there're even helper programs written for it) for centering the accuracy counter is to make the score-percent.png element a specific width according to screen resolution and the width of accuracy digits. In the case of my skin this a 1076 pixel white bar. For whatever reason it does not render the bar in stable, but does in lazer. If I had to guess it's the lack of any colors other than 0xFFFFFF white. Making the image actually transparent would most likely work as intended in both versions, but this likely has implications for other skins/files.

Aside from these major issues, there are a host of minor but meaningful differences to placement and scaling, and other properties of some elements. The perfectly centered accuracy counter, for example, is no longer centered, but offset by a full character; the score and accuracy counters are both placed down and to the left from their intended positions. The playfield is noticably darker than in stable. That same element is also 2 pixels left of its position on stable (although for once this is more correct than the original). Additionally, the key counter overlay is placed without regard for its absence from stable.
