How does one get the difficulty stars to work more as a bar instead of getting smaller? I find the scaled version very difficult to read, but when I change the version of the skin, nothing changes about the difficulty stars.

The version of skin.ini must be 2.1 or lower.
How to change size of LightingN???
After I change the version to lastest (on skin.ini), LightingN change to big .-.

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.DD_33 wrote:

If you want blank circles just go to the skin.ini of your skin and put
HitCirclePrefix: Somethingunder [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.Matt2e2 wrote:

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

If u wanna look into it is idke's skin
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.

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.

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.
In the skining basic what do you mean by download template ?

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

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

If you want to use the new spinner format (spinner-top/bottom/middle/middle2/glow), you need to not have spinner-background present in the skin's folder (else osu! will use the old format (spinner-background/metre/circle)) and to have "Version" in skin.ini set to any version from 2.0 to 2.5.
Thx for this post!😊

This tutorial is pretty old so don't count on that. Though, there is a new tutorial in the making, you can check it out here.
Edit: Oops, I've already linked it for you in an earlier post, my bad. I generally don't pay attention to who the person I'm responding to is xd.
So i wanted to spice up my mania skin (merging skins in my case) and i saw something i wanted to implement in my skin but problems arose.
Starting off the skin showed below has 0 Mania images, their all deleted.
But the glow when hitting the key lights the blue/green color(which is the thing i want to add to my skin)
But since i have nothing to copy/paste in my folder im kinda stuck lol
If you are wondering or need to know this is BeastTrollMC's 2017 Skin would give DL if i could find it, Thanks!

Check if the height of your mode-meds is 256px HD or 128px SD. Also it's better to just put the whole overlay on mode-fruits-med and not have to worry about the height of each mode-med, like this: https://imgur-archive.ppy.sh/5fkAHUa.png.

Thank you very much! Changing it to 256 px instead of 260 px fixed it.

For that just edit the Combo1 value to your desired purple and delete the other combo colours. If you don't know what RGB values to use just type on Google "colour picker".
Also if you want more than one combo colour, add Combo2,3,4... (up to 8) to your skin.ini.

So in my skin there's a file named "scorebar-bg.png" that says "Your name here" (inside the pic). Considering its a picture, does that mean i can't really edit it into my actual username?

You usually need to have the project file to be able to easily edit your name in (like a .psd). Otherwise you have to remove and replace it by hand.
Also if your skin has a scorebar with a custom name on it, you're likely to have a .psd inside the skin's folder in a subfolder.

Hi, i recently faced a pretty interessting problem, don't know if this is explained somewhere else (i couldn't find any simular problems related to that).
So when i want to install a skin lets say i have the folder with properties, i just drop the folder in 'Skins' and should then find the name of the folder under the Skinsselection right?
For me it doesn't show up... instead i can only see 'Default' and 'User' if i click on 'Skin file' its opens the folder 'User' under '[Volume where i installed Osu!]\osu!\Skins\User' draging properties of skins there makes them possible to load via selecting the 'User' under Skins but thats just making stuff over obnoxious...
How can i fix this problem? Am i just too stupid to understand what i did wrong? I never have seen this kind of problems in years of playing osu! before and i just recently returned...

So, it doesnt import skins properly when you manually add them to your skins folder? That doesnt make too much sense, osu! should read every existing folder in the Skins folder and show them ingame, even if they dont have anything in them or are invalid. So please make sure that you installed the skins in the right directory.
Opening an .osk normally should just open it with osu, which does the extraction itself.
can somone make a book out of this
This is great! Awesome work

I want to change the 100, 50, and miss images on a skin but there's more than one of them listed under different names. Can I delete the duplicates and just replace it with one image? Or should I replace it on all of them?
there are multiple of each because it's animated. if you want to replace it, you can replace with 1 image to make it static.Soybean- wrote:

Hi guys, I have a question about ranking letters. Is it possible to have multiple files for the same ranking letter? For example, let's say I get B rank on the map, is it possible to have 3 different versions of the ranking-b file, so I can randomly get 1 of 3 different pictures of it in the game?

Hey, I want to know how to move the accuracy ingame from left to the middle on top. because I like it more
Take the element that shows the percent sign (%) and add a blank space to the right side of it. How much you need really depends on what resolution you use, but a shade under 920 should be a good start

What is the difference between hit300 and hit300k (goes for the other points as well)
Hit300 is a normal 300. Hit300k is a 300 that also gives you hp.Choc_Sama wrote:

The detailed skinnable files list from this thread is a good place to go looking for questions like this. The k and g hitbursts appear on the last object of a combo based on how your accuracy in the rest of the combo was (and yes also give more hp).Choc_Sama wrote:

I wanted to make my own skin remix and want to use Rafis Generic Dt skin as a base as I like most of the aspects. One thing I wanted to change is how the hit circles glow white around the edges. I'm new when it comes to skinning and i'm not really sure how to remove this "glow."
This will be either on the hitcircle or the hitcircleoverlay. You need to edit the images to get rid of itMoxxaa wrote:
