Customizations
Elixir includes 4 different hitcircle styles and various other customizations. They are located in the "Customizations" folder. Most of them can be enabled by copy-pasting the files into the main folder. Each customizable element has the default element in a separate folder, so that you don't have to worry about creating backups.
Here is a list of all the customizations and instructions for enabling them.
cursor
Long trail
A long, yellow, dotted cursortrail. Enable by copy-pasting files into the main folder.
No trail (default)
No cursor trail. Enable by copy-pasting files into the main folder.
Short trail
A short, yellow cursortrail. Enable by copy-pasting files into the main folder and deleting "cursormiddle.png".
followpoint
Animated (default)
A followpoint that starts out thick and quickly becomes thin before fading out. Enable by copy-pasting files into the main folder.
No trail (default)
A basic line followpoint that doesn't change thickness. Enable by copy-pasting the files into the main folder and deleting files between "followpoint-9.png" and "followpoint-23.png". To make the followpoint thicker or thinner, you can replace files between "followpoint-3.png" and followpoint-8.png" with a different frame from the animated followpoint.

No hitbursts on perfect hits. Enable by first deleting all files starting with "hit300" except "hit300.png", "hit300g.png" and "hit300k.png" (these show up in the ranking screen). After deleting the files, copy-paste the new files into the main folder.

Scorebar nameplate
A template for a scorebar with your name and country flag. Here's what it looks like:
If you have Adobe Illustrator, you can create your own nameplate with this .ai file. The font used for the name is Lato Bold, which you can get for free here. The "Choose flag here" -layer contains every country flag in alphabetical order. Just toggle the visibility on the one that you want to use.
You should see something like this:
The "scorebar-colour" -layer includes a blue and a red scorebar.
Export both artboards as transparent .png files with filenames being the artboard names at 1x scale. For HD graphics, also export at 2x scale with "@2x" at the end of the filenames.
If you have Illustrator CC, use Export for screens with these settings:
If you don't have Adobe Illustrator, you can send me a PM with your desired name, flag, and the color of the scorebar (red or blue only) and I'll send you the .png files that you can just place into the skin folder.

Functionality

- Added mode icons from osu!new.
- Adjusted the position of "max combo" and "accuracy" texts in the ranking panel.

- Added a light drop shadow to small ranking letters and mod icons.
- Made small silver S and SS icons brighter.

- Made the combobreak sound a bit quieter.
Initial release.
Future plans
Other gamemodes
Since I myself only play osu!standard, I feel that I wouldn't be able to provide the same level of attention-to-detail if I were to skin the other gamemodes. But if there is enough interest, I will consider doing it.
New customizations
If you have an idea for a new customization that you would like to see included, feel free to leave a message and I will consider it. Just remember that I won't be adding customizations that thematically alter the skin, which means no anime girls.
