Is there still no way to do this?Saph1 wrote:
I read the FAQ but couldn't find the info I wanted. For OsuMania, is it possible to make the first four keys (left to right; not symmetrical) black, the next four keys white, and the last key black?

inputoverlay-background.png must be constructed from top to bottom because osu! rotates it by 90° to the right. Or construct it from bottom to top and rotate the image by 180°.

Still not sure what is the problem here... You removed bg? But which? BG from map? And after , that badly cropped, anime girl showed up there?
Actually it's new skin part that i just have found. But nvm, just a small change for my personal favourite.MLGnom wrote:

that must be the playfield.png
(that might be correct or not)
the arrow there, and the leaderboard BG (as i guess right 
) is the skinnable part based from the SSs(screenshots) there

You can try to add "clicktostart.png" and "dragtobrowse.png"
You should get something like this
Btw: the image clicktostart should be the same size with reserve arrow.
I don't have any idea about the image dragtobrowse size, very hard to tell exactly xD
ummm..."clicktostart.png" and "dragtobrowse.png"?
can someone tell me what is this?

osu! history page is your friend guys.
"clicktostart.png" Is most likely that button to start in very early version of osu!. It's useless now.
I'm pretty sure someone decompiled osu! files to find info about that... but I'm surprised that it's till there and working. o.O
Will try to find out what "dragtobrowse.png" is for or was for.

as expected... dragtobrowse.png appears behind the leaderboard...MLGnom wrote:

dragtobrowse is an instruction to drag something around there (but not touch the leaderboard), and browse the song selection up and down (regarding direction of your drag)
is it means : need the original pic of dragtobrowse ?

even though they exist... they're still dead elements... because in the modern side of osu! (probably ~2010-2012), these elements are now beauty spoilers.

@MLGnom: it's depend on resolution of your game.
In my example is full screen with 1024x768 resolution.
no, i didn't do anything to dragtobrowse till i touch image editor again to "move the temporary try of dragtobrowse" into dragtobrowse.MLGnom wrote:
You changed dragtobrowse file?Rei_Fan49 wrote:
where's the large transparent osu icon there? lol
Someone remember anything that was in the middle of song selection screen? Yes green square is my "dragtobrowse.png" 50x50.
well, it was different from dragtobrowse, (also, the other hint/note : smaller version can't be changed)
(dragtobrowse is centreright aligned then)
hint: it was my try to change the skin behind there before dragtobrowse.png is the true answer instead.

Well we shouldn't care much about these. If someone want to do something with them, go ahead, but remember they are dead elements that shouldn't be there.
If they aren't affected by aspect ratio they are from times before "widescreen" update.
If you say so... xD

There are probaly WAY more skin elements that we still might not know about.
Actually, i knew some other elements skin, but after all, it's so useless, so i decided just keep in my mind xDH_Hitachiin wrote:

I'm pretty sure it's that bar. I think it can be funny to edit that. ^^;
So if you have anything more just post file names here. We will test them and then tell if they are useless or not. :3c

I can change some hitsound in multiplayer (like kick, ready, start game), the nightcore mode hitsound or the tick-tick sound in editor timing...and...etou.... which word should i say about this image ?

Oh, and about hitsound in multi mode, you can try: match-leave, match-join, match-confirm.wav

Both of them is not my way.
I don't have enough programming skill to decompile a big project like osu!
I've tried to read Osu!.dll using Visual Studio 2012. But it's nothing more than a...binary file and i don't understand anything in that ... xD
Btw: I forgot the sound match-ready in multi mode. You can add it, but after that you must restart osu to take effect. I don't understand why...since the image part we only need to reload skin in option... xD

how about reloading it through entering and leaving skin menu? it could reload all possible skin elements there. (also, nightcore can't be skinned)Yuki-kun wrote:

I've tried it but...i don't know why in my pc, it only can change the image part. All hitsound parts don't change until i restart osu!Rei_Fan49 wrote:

With VS2012 (and every other VS-Release), you only can watch the hexadecimal "code" of the dll, not actually anything that's inside.Yuki-kun wrote:

Yes, and that's why i must find another way to see skin part. But not all. xD
Actually, i knew exactly how much parts that osu contains, but i can't read them all or see how those thing designed.
All i see is only a hex code and binary.

1. option-background ; announced by peppy that using menu-background
2. lobby-background ; not announced but same behaviour like current Pption BG

For osu!mania settings you must have separate files - 4k.ini, 5k.ini, 6k.ini 7k.ini and 8k.ini
don't forget that one, even i only encouter 5+1k once but woc is already added that +1 support for 5 and 7 afaik,MLGnom wrote:

Just to inform you guys, you can now skin backgrounds for widescreen resolutions, yes I mean pause, fail etc. (The safest should be 1366x768 resolution). But be careful with it, and always check how it will look in 4:3. Or as alternative if you are going to post your skin at forum, make 2 versions of it.
Like I said before, in nearest days I will start testing everything from beginning and will provide any new informations. ^.^

ranking screen too supports widescreen, but every elements there aren't widescreen support (just the 5 circles that spinning slowly around grade element that affected by widescreen)
Either I'm just not guessing the right dimensions, or ranking-panel no longer covers the entire screen.

That works! I wonder if we could be able to make playfields widescreen...
Topic Starter
Yes, now we are able to put widescreen background. (probably in beatmaps too). If you use 1024x768 playfield, it will be resized to fit any widescreen resolution.Garygoh884 wrote:

BUT if you use widescreen playfield, osu! will add black bars on upper and bottom part of screen. It depends with one resolution you are using so the bars will be larger or smaller. As I said before again the safest should be 1366x768 to have it working on every aspec ratio.
Is there a way to add characters to the side of the screen when you get enough no-misses? Or did i overlook something?

Great. I never knew hitcircle overlay could be animated.
Topic Starter
Because that background it's still in progress. The official background is only in 1024x768 and you wouldn't be able to have it on widescreen. The main problem with it, is that the numbers and texts like "Game type" "Mods" "Beatmaps" are part of background.
