So I have a skin I REALLY LIKE, however, it has no numbers and some maps can get really confusing how can I edit it so it does have numbers?

If you want dots you need to remove default-0 till default-9 (and the @2x versions if they exist) from your current skin and then you just drop the default- images from a skin in that has dots. Then you just need to copy the value of HitCircleOverlap from the skin.ini from the skin you took the dots from and put it into the skin.ini of the skin you're using.

If you want blank circles just go to the skin.ini of your skin and put
HitCirclePrefix: Something
under [Fonts]

Hey just got a skin but I want to tinker with it and adjust it to my liking, the thing is that I want the circles and numbers after I click to fade away quick, but for some reason one of the skins I got has a weird option set up as I click the circle will fade away faster than the number which is kinda distracting and messing up with my reading ability.

So, i have a 3440x1440 monitor and Osu works beautifully, but obviously nobody makes skins for 21:9 (at least not that i can find).

The skins i use mostly work, but there are a few that are my favorites, but some elements are off, mainly any parts of the Skin that cover the big OSU button on the Map Selection screen in the bottom right.

Is there a way to manually move this so it covers the button like its intended to?

Spoiler box as image is big.


Another question is how to remove the Boxed area on some skins, as on 21:9 its not centered and very distracting, and some skins don't come with optional elements to replace them to get rid of em.

Could be kinda hard to move it on this particular one, but it shouldn't be a problem in general. You would just need to edit selection-mode or selection-options.

You need to edit scorebar-bg

Are we allowed to copy such stuff as hitcircle.png or taikobigcircle.png?
They are literally just white colors.

No, unless the elements are too simple and can be debated if it counts as mixing or not. Though I would recommend you do not copy them regardless of their simplicity.

Yes, they are too simple. Literally white color circle.

I have a skin that I allow people to freely fork (if character images are replaced)
But given the new subforum rule that does not allow mixed skin even if having aurhor's permission (me). In this case, can I allow people to host forks of my skin in my skin thread?

Hmm, that is a good question. It should be fine, eventho no one probably would read the comments, which is why you may just wanna add a spoilerbox with versions other people made in the OP. (but please checj then if those are entirely made out of your elements and don't steal some from other skins)

Do you know if it's possible to use different textures for sliderscorepoint in different modes? taiko and standard share the same file by default, I'd rather avoid making 2 skin folders just to change that.

Sadly, no. There's no easy way to make osu! use a different slider score point file for standard/taiko.

I was wondering, i want to change something in a skin where the circle disappears but the number disappears a little bit later, how do i change this?

I don't think you can do that, since the only time the numbers expand is when skin.ini version 1.0 is used, and there's no way of doing the fast fading hitcircle trick on that version

So, I'm looking at the skins that I have currently, and with the score numbers do I need to have them within the skin folder at small resolutions like 32x54 or 40x60?

If so, does anyone have any tips on making those small numbers not look pixelated when I do it? I currently use Paint.Net (because I don't have money for CorelPainter or Photoshop) I have done some things like going from the most usable non-pixelated resolution then resizing down to those small resolutions. I have tried using "small-preferred fonts" like Tahoma (much to my chagrin) to no avail. I tried doing the largest font possible at those small resolutions and increasing the sharpness and toying with anti-aliasing to have a non-pixelated image. Helpppp.

I tried to make a cursor trail like this but using a different color and failed miserably. Any tips? I use paint.net

Think you just need to add a cursormiddle.png file. It's size doesn't matter and you can leave it blank if you want.

It might work by getting them to fade into eachother with a gradient

Hello! I just can not solve my problem, maybe someone knows the solution? I have a skin from www, in which I did everything for myself except one, this is the color of the circles. I went through several other color skins and did not understand how they were painted ... the only thing I found and tried to change the skin.ini, put the necessary colors in combo1-5, but the colors changed only in Approach Circle. how to make a colored combo skin from this ? here's the skin, if that https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g17RdcfMJ6E-qcBgph1zWjCtyULCtiOO/view


The "hitcircles" on WWW's skin are placed on the hitcircle combo numbers (default-n), instead of the usual hitcircle and hitcircleoverlay files, meaning they never get tinted.

Hi some of my skins have the image preview and some not even if thumbnails all always on. Can somone explain to me what makes it dissaper in some of them and how to edit the settings of the skin or skin itself in order have them visible.
Thanks in advance :)

skin.ini versions 1.0 to 2.1 do not have thumbnail support. All later versions do support them but I recommend using 2.5 out of all of them. Beware though, that this might break other things in the skin such as the thumbnail being positioned outside of the menu-button-background or the star indicator not working the same way.

remove the files that start with "default-" from your skin, then you take some "default-" files with dots from another skin and place them into your skin

Can someone make a newer version of this post? Some thing aren't added yet and I don't think that the creator still plays osu! because he was online 3 years ago :/

There is, in fact, a newer skinning tutorial. As of now, it's still work in progress, though.
