You can find it in template skin or any other skin that you can download. Just copy it and edit.-ajus- wrote:

Just open the skin.ini with notepad and change the necessary elements.
nice tutorial but i have a problem when i make the hitcircles and others there is this white squared portion and it is not transparent compared to the other skins what should i do?
and where can i find skin.ini?
download it from other skins, or start with the template skin (download it through osume, it will be in your skin folder).
i dont understand a thing, honestly i wish there was a video tutorial! XD
Woah.. nice tutorial!
I prefer become a skinner than a mapper..
Thank you!

Hey there. I did a small search today and found 5 interesting things that you can add to skin.ini.
Add these in [General] part.
CustomComboBurstSounds: 50,100,200,300,400,500 etc. Combo sound will be played at specified combo number.
SpinnerFadePlayfield: 0 If this is set to 0, background of spinners will be transparent (you will be able to see map playfield/video)
CursorTrailRotate:0 If this is set to 1, the cursor trail rotation will rotates with the cursor.
AnimationFramerate:"Number of frames" Defaults to playing all available frames per second. Applies to all animated sprites except slider ball. The lower amount of them, the slower animation will be.
SpinnerNoBlink:1 Defaults to 0. When set to 1, it will stop spinners from "blinking" the top of the metre as they rise/peak.
(Funny thing these options were available already for around 3 years :/)
In nearest future I will add a little about Taiko/CtB skinning.

A bug to fix: "scrorebar-colour".MLGnom wrote:
Blue lines show the anchor position for scrorebar-colour and if you want to fit them in the same place, try moving the scorebar-background. Also you don’t need to keep length of the lifebar, you can make it shorter or longer (for widescreen).
nice idea...justin-chan wrote:

lemme try to make one based on this (MLGnom's) forum...
when hitting notes, the hitclrcles go larger and fade out.. but how can i change that to just rings with empty space at center(dont know how that will be explained) instead of hitclrcle number and hitclrcle.png popping up together? sorry if my explanation is bad...
edit: .... i just read the post 3more times and noticed it was lighting.png srry

Are these options seleted between 0 and 1? If they are, you can add 0/1 to the thread.MLGnom wrote:
d) CursorRotate – controls whether the cursor rotates or not.
e) CursorExpand – when turned on, the cursor expands when clicking.
f) CursorCentre – while turned off the action point of the cursor will be in the top left corner of the image, rather than the center.
g) SliderBallFrames – amount of sliderball frames(pictures) used in the skin.
h) HitCircleOverlayAboveNumer – if turned on, makes numbers appear under the “hitcircleoverlay”
You can use 72 dpi as your image resolution [that's the web image resolution] to maintain a low memory space but still, a good looking element
just a question, i see there can be more than 1 comboburst.png image andthey are named comboburst-0.png, comboburst-1.png, comboburst-2.png etc. Do i have to specify in the .ini file that the skin uses more than a comboburst? Can combo burst images be slected randomly when performing a combo?

Here's all the stuff I have in my skin.ini that works (I think I gave up on animationframerate and sliderballframes though). There is a toggle for random combo bursts, and you don't have to specify # of images in the skin.
Note the underlined stuff. I just found it today.

You don't need to specify amount of comboburst. If you want to randomize combobursts add this to [General] part in skin.ini .netoxr2000 wrote:

@MLGnow: how about play-unranked.png?

I have got a few questions;
Where am I supposed to post a new thread with my new skin? Somewhere in Skinning?
Secondly, is there anything forbidden to post? I suppose things that are related to blood or R-18 or something? Are there any rules on what can't be posted? (Just asking whether skins based upon characters from Fandoms are okay or not xD I wouldn't want to get banned or something from osu! for such stupid thing.)
A few notes;
Pause-overlay has to be a .PNG file, it didn't work with .JPG for me. May not be correct, I dunno.
In Skin.ini, the SliderBallFlip works exactly the other way around for me, when it's 0, it flips the sprite.
As for SliderBallFrames, I tried editing one theme and it automatically took the sprites I added, without the need of editing Skin.ini. Not sure about that though.
Further, SliderStyle does nothing for me (I added it and made sure to put it under [General]).
Thanks for any help with that! It would be pretty wonderful.
I'vegot 50 files out of 160 done already, maybe I will have finished it by the end of the next weekend! ^^seriously doubt that though ahaha;;;
Btw seeing how many people ask about Skin.ini, you should maybe put it into the tutorial too x'DD
Oh and Kiai time is misspelled as Kaiai somewhere there. (Skin.ini spoiler, StarBreakAdditive is the exact place.)

1. Just create new thread in skinning.
2. Yes, don't post anything that contains nudity or any explicit continent. Ecchi is fine but you should give a warning in your thread. About blood, please don't post guro. It's should be somewhat safe. (we have already skin that contain "blood" but this kind is okay).
3. Pause-overlay must be .png like other parts of skin. (Exception are beatmap skins where you can have backgrounds as jpg).
4. Are you sure it's flipped? Please test this sliderball (added skin.ini with it). I don't know why you have differently.
5. SliderBallFrames will affect speed of animation of sliderball.
6. Are you sure you don't have "OpenGL" or "low end PC" turned on in options? Because of OpenGL skins will have forced sliderstyle : 2 and only style 2 and 3 will work.
Skin.ini is inside of every skin, also in template, so no need. :3c
Damn it. Don't know why I called it "Kaiai". Corrected. D:

So going to spam you with more guro just for the fun of it <3
I don't think spinner-osu.wav (or .mp3) sounds are used anymore.
Even if they are barely used in most osu skins :/

3, I didn't notice almost all the files are PNG xD Sorry about that.
4, The thing you sent me did work the correct way; However. In the template, when set to 1, it works. In an edit I made from template, it works the other way around (it is flipped horizontally when set to 0). I didn't change the SliderBall sprites anyhow yet though, so I don't know what it might have got influenced by. (In case it's needed, I can send the theme so you can see yourself.)
5, Hmm I see, thanks~
6, Aha there's the problem. I am using OpenGL because it runs smoother and doesn't give my computer BSOD as much as the other option (more like it does not do that at all.) It is kinda irritating with a longer hold and welp how to play it (I couldn't see the exact way it went) >_> But oh well I can't do anythign about that then though. Thanks!
As for Skin.ini, yes I know, but better add it in the first post so people won't ask about it xD
Once again thanks for all the help! ^^ In case I would need any help I will come and ask. ^^
Thank you, now I can be happy with this tutorial :3
I've got another question.
What are default-[number].png used for? I've tried changing 0 but I can't see any place where it'd change. Thanks in advance!

By default they are used as "Hitcircle numbers".
But if you have edited where they are used , they won't be changed.
This is default part in skin.ini
By editing it in this way, hitcircles will use score numbers instead. (or vice versa)
That's why sometimes you should use template skin.ini instead of ini from any skin.

at first, i'm confused but i realized it as soon as i made my own osu! skin
don't worry, there may be a lot of discoveries [
[like play-unranked.png]
SPOILER
here's the picture:
@MLGnom, OsuMe65; Thank you both! I actually copied the template, renamed the copy and started editing it; I couldn't see the change because I only edited 0 xD And you don't see that one that often. I've tried editing 1 now and it works perfectly. Thanks for help again! ^^

@KingisNitro: you're welcome...
we're always here to help... 
@MLGnom: new discoveries and their image dimensions:
play-unranked.png (mentioned earlier)
Dimensions: 133x30
spinner-rpm.png (NEW!)
Dimensions: 279x56
that's all i discovered that works...
