3. Pause-overlay must be .png like other parts of skin. (Exception are beatmap skins where you can have backgrounds as jpg).

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

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.

Personally I'm using this but you can also use this

For play-unranked.png and spinner-rpm.png simply create new file, use any size you want (larger, smaller anything that fits you) and save with correct file name. (just test it for correct size ^^)

Okay so this is exactly why I wanted them to post it online.
I've tried editing the spinner-rpm.png, by the size said, and osu! 'ate' lower half of it. That's why I rather copy the originals and see where the text/other stuff is positioned. Nevermind & thanks again for sharing the info!
My skin will be done in a while fufufu I hope

KingisNitro wrote:

Nightcore is a new mod in osu! which has a score multiplier of 1.12 [just like DT].
It modifies the pitch (+ the function of DT that doubles the song's playback speed) and adds some claps and cymbal crashes...

P.S.

I don't play this mod because it's weird... O_O

You can only change the text colour. Menu-button-background.png is coloured into white, blue, red, pink, or orange via reducing the RGB channels. Red, for example, is achieved by removing the blue and green channels. You can use this to make different colours, but many colours are just not possible.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. Has Peppy ever said he was against that part of osu! being skinnable? I'd image a lot of people would rather use their own color values, especially if they have a skin themed around a set of colors already.

[title.png]

this title.png is a forbidden part in a skin...
you need to put it in the "Data" folder of osu! (replacing the 1x1 title.png) in order to work...

[and peppy doesn't allow any skinner to do that (even most skinners disobey this)]

Is the black bar a separate skin element? Or is there a point in your background image where you need to manually cut off and make your own bar?

MLGnom wrote:

Ehh... I was hoping for someone to explain this instead of me... but I see I must do this.
So let's begin.

1. So "options-background.png" doesn't have constant size like spinner-background or anything else in gameplay. What I mean? That you must remember about people that use different aspect ratio : 16:9, 4:3, 16:10 etc.
So if you are going to add it to skin and release, remember to add different sizes of this for different people.

2. Simple example how it's look for me as I'm using 4:3 (1280x960).

Example of putting picture

3. "But the tabs looks bad!" - Don't worry, these tabs are 83px lower than top of the picture.

Example of moving picture by 83px

4. So let me show you quick example how could it look if you want edit it.

Quick example how can it look

So basically you should use size 1024x768 or 1024x600 but this is up to you.

Don't make it transparent because things will mess up!

my osu!Screen Rsolution

when it is 1024x768

when it is in the highest (1366x768)

edit2: Oh actually nevermind about the recommended size or whatever at options-background. Taking a picture you want, resising it to 1024x600 and then stretching to 1024x768 works wonderfully for me. That's probably the best actual way how to do it. However again this way will only work for people who play on 1024x600 (that would be widescreen if I am correct).

i'm playing on 1920x1080 and 1024x768 works perfectly for me too.

On a side-off-topic note yet again because I see it didn't work out the first time, do you think positioning rankings like this is okay? Could anyone provide me a screeshot with different screen resolution (I use 1024x600) if I provide the theme?

MLGnom wrote:

I did few already but forgot to write about how to do option-background correctly. ^^;

Aspect ratios :
For 4:3 you simply do picture of resolution 1024x768.
For 16:10 you need to do picture of size 1229x768. Next resize it to 1024x768. Yes, it will be narrowed but after adding to skin osu! will resize it to proper look.
For 16:9 same thing as above but the size of picture need to be 1366×768. And the same, resize it to 1024x768.

No need, it will look the same on every resolution because osu! is adding black bars on sides for widescreen resolutions.
