It IS possible to change the COLOURS of the SongSelectionActiveText and also of the SongSelectionInactiveText. Obviously, therefore are the "SongSelectionActiveText" and "SongSelectionInactiveText" settings in the skin.ini ....

Stop talking bullshit...
Sorry, when I mentioned this, I mistook the component they meant. While those two things do change colours, it only does so on the song selection button things, not the thing they were looking for.

I asked for a colour change of the text on the SELECTION-TAB. This two options only change the colour of the text on the MENU-BUTTON-BACKGROUND. ;)

the thing is i've seen content that showed someone modifying the osu!ui.dll to alter the appearance of the main menue. it was done to get the bg for free without having to buy supporter. now i am a supporter and this guy told me i can skin this if i am a supporter. but i havn't heard of this. is it true or does he just not know what he's talking about :?

That kind of editing is not allowed. What is so hard to understand about it?

You modify game internal files you are not supposed to access which is breaking community rules and licences.

Is it possible to have a separate hitsound "pack" for osu-mania? (like taiko has)

thanks for the help guys :D
I tried to pull it off and it's not possible u.u

I wish they added this on osu!lazer.... (the hitsound library i'm currently using is awesome for std.. but I hate it on o!mania)..

yeah I quoted myself...

I wanted to skin the osu!catch mode and I'm confused now. Where are the HD elements of osu!catch in the template? Or are the elements already in HD? They all are in 128x128 and their names looks like SD. So I maybe should use 256x256 for HD elements, right?
Just wondered about that there are no HD elements in the template.

Yeah it's just 256x256. The HD elements aren't included in the template fsr.

They are actually, only not for the osu!catch mode:


Thank you!

Add also "How to use .osk" :idea: oki
In short, rename a .zip skin into .osk osu! can deal with the rest

Question: Given that copying elements from other skins is a no no, does copying the hitsound in skins also count?

Not really. Pretty much everyone lost track of when and where most popular hitsounds have appeared, so this is a shortcut you can and should take unless you are very confident in your sound editing skills (familiar old hitsounds > bad original hitsounds).

A good rule of thumb would be :
If they are associated with a newly released skin and you're just dumping them off this skin in particular, ask for permission to the author first and mention it in the credits.
(You will likely receive an answer along the lines of "Go for it I got them from x skin anyway lololo")
If they are hitsounds that you can find in dozens of skins released over multiple years, and there is absolutely no way for you to accurately track their origin, pillage away. They're pretty much public domain at this point.

Who has a PSD file for Photoshop? Where can I view all sizes for each item separately?
o x
There are no PSD files, just drag the images from the default skin into photoshop it won't change the size or anything.

Does anyone know here how to remove the light behind the ranking letter? Tested out a bit, it's not the lighting file.

You can't
But you can hide it by using a full screen ranking panel

Is there any way to make the flashing notes on kiai time less obvious? I've seen some skins where the kiai time flashing is very subtle, but cannot get my skin to be any amount subtle. I'm using a mostly white skin because I find it easier to see the hitcircles, but the kiai time flashing is extremely obnoxious and way too bright.

I'm changing the font in my skin and noticed that my combo numbers are cut off by the bottom of the screen. Anyone know how to fix this?

Do you have combo elements? They have the name "combo-1, combo-2, ..., combo-x". If so, take them out of the skin folder and use "ComboPrefix: score" in the skin.ini and press ctrl+shift+alt+s in your client.
If you have no elements with these names, search for "score-1, score-2, ...". Are they in the middle? Screenshot or something? Also use "ComboPrefix: score" in your skin.ini then.

Mania help:
There is this problem I experienced while I was checking my skin.

The mania-stage-left and mania-stage-right is the exact same thing, but only flipped vertical and horizontal once each, both are 180 degree flip.

However, the right side of the stage is far more larger than the one on the left. Is it the .png's problem?

Another question in mind:
Is it okay to have both the mania-stage to have a unique design? Because a lot of people prefer to have both looking the same (or very very aimilar).
MrLinuxFish
One more question:

How do I specify a specific combo font for the mania game mode without changing the standard combo font?

I have tried putting the line : `ComboPrefix: mn` in the [Mania] specific part of the skin.ini, but it doesn't load the correct font assets. If I put the line under the [Fonts] part of the skin.ini it changes the combo font correctly in mania, but it is using the wrong combo font in standard.

I'm using the -+Seouless'+v7+16-9 Skin and was attempting to change the cursor from the default blue cursor to the pink one, however, when I attempted to, the cursor reverted back to the default skin's cursor. I can't get it back to the blue cursor, either. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: As my laptop also seems to have broken and can't access any sites that aren't secured and can't download anything either, I can't redownload the skin.

Thanks :D

Make sure you actually refresh the skin either by restarting your game, or doing "ctrl+shift+alt S". If it still doesn't work, then check the files. When trying to revert it back to the blue cursor, make sure that the files have the correct names, and are in the right place. Also, make sure you're using the right type of file. Osu probably doesn't recognize the cursor, so make sure to check it. You're probably going to want it to be a .png or a .jpg

You can't do this as far as I'm aware.

On older versions of the game the start screen had the older logo. You can change the background of the start screen if you are an Osu supporter.

I do have combo elements, I was just replacing the elements in my skin image for image, so I changed the original combo-x to my own combo-x. I ended up just moving where the number was placed in the new combo-x from centered to closer to the top.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I looked around and couldn't really find any question like this.

Pretty much the menu-button-background is being a bit annoying to me, as you can see in the following 2 pictures, i made it so it perfectly matches the top and bottom of the song picutre
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7373465
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7373475

However in multiplayer the scores on the left, it's so off. The bottom of a players score goes over the top of the next players score, picture here
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7373510
and since it does that, the top players bottom goes next to the bottom players avatar and it looks disgusting.
It also looks bad on the results screen
https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/7373520

Is there a way I can just make it universally fit everything at least somewhat decent? The leaderboards look OK with the top line only being a few pixels higher
thanks :)

EDIT: Extra side question, is making selection-mods @2x really needed? I've never seen them that large before, thanks again :D

If you fix the menu-button-background to match the multiplayer scores/players. The menu button in the music selection will be off aswell...
Either you choose to fix it or leave it, you can't match both of the button in the music selection and the multiplayer iirc...

The resolution of the SD image that you use might be the same as the HD Image resolution should be. (like if the HD Image resolution is 1500x1500, the SD Image resolution should be 750x750 and not 1500x1500). Try edit the resolution of the image to a half.

I thought I've seen it where it works out for all, but after looking around more I've seen each skin has their own way of handling it. I've decided just to remove the bottom part as that seems to fit the best for my style skin.

Thanks! :)

What is your skin version set to in skin.ini?

Changing it to latest should work, if I remember correctly. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong)

I had mine on 2.5, which is the latest. I also tried latest just in case and no difference. I changed back to 2.5 because the wiki says "Do not use this when trying to distribute skins!" for latest.

How can I change the character when I get combo?

It's the file "comboburst". If you want more characters than only one, you have to use "comboburst-0", "combobust-1", etc. ...
