Another question - is it possible to reskin slider tracks?
//The border colour on slider tracks.

Ask permission from whoever made the skin. Some skinners will let you use their stuff, and some won't. In general, you should make your own stuff.Mafiamaster wrote:
Am I allowed to take different things (ex. hitcircle) that are in the skin folder or other people's folders and put them in my beatmap and upload or would I have to make my own things?

Open osume.exe (In the folder osu! is installed to, which is usually C:/Program Files/osu!)
Go to extras, then look for the skin in there. Hope this helps.
You didn't see nothing? Make sure osume.exe can connect to server! (In other words, check your firewall.)SimoneElric wrote:
i did look in there! it isn't there! do you think i downloaded wrong or something? and i looked in the extras and it is just blank! nothing in it! so don't suggest that cause i already tried!!!

The arrows can't be changed in any of those ways unfortunately.
The countdown numbers are positioned by their left (Or possibly right I can't remember) edge, so it's pretty hard to skin them with larger sizes.

The black box isn't skinnable (I think). But the numbers are. They're the same used for your combo counters.Behonkiss wrote:
Is it possible to upload the Spins Per Minute graphic yet? If so, what are the filename and dimensions?
This is part of the osu! game mechanic. The comboburst will randomly appear left or right. Unfortunately, I don't think there' s any way around this.jet_stream wrote:

osu! loves drop shadows. you must be doing it wrong :pYuiMugi wrote:
Why does Osu! hate drop-shadows....?
Just put it in another folder along with the rest skins and choose it in Options - Skins. Make sure you have a skin.ini and everything.shiroutsuki wrote:

The normal fruit image (no -overlay) gets recolored in-game according to the colors you can set either in the skin or the beatmap, while the overlay doesn't get recolored at all and appears above the other image.shiroutsuki wrote:
another question is about designing the fruits... could someone explain the functions of ie. fruits-pear and ie.fruits-pear-overlay?

You need to download a program like 7zip or something to extract the rar. Then just put the folder in your skins folder
Can you give me the link to the skin? I'll give you a ZIP download link.keegster2 wrote:
again. my jerk dad says no. im pretty much kirby osu-less now.
Most likely the skin folder has no "skin.ini" file or something similar inside. Try adding one from another skin and see if that works.hatsune_miku7 wrote:

Okay, this will be a literal "Frequently asked questions," not a full tutorial. Ask a question and I can answer it here.
How do I make a skin?
Oh boy. If you have to ask, it's going to be tricky. First off, download the "template skin for skin makers" through Osume, and read the readme.txt and all the notes in the skin.ini file. Then download one, several, or even all of the other available skins, and look at what they do, comparing what you see in the game to the files in the folder. Then make a copy of the template skin folder, edit the skin.ini to fit your skin, and start playing around with the pngs in Photoshop or a similar program (You can't make a decent skin in MS Paint, sorry. You need something that can create transparent png files). Experimentation is the best way to learn your way around, and once you think you have something worth sharing (or if you really need help) zip up the folder (right click the folder and hit send to -> compressed/zipped folder), delete any files that you haven't edited (to save space) and post it in a new thread here as an attachment, with some screenshots. The skinning community (mostly me, sigh) will be happy to lend a hand.
The background changes color! Why?
Because Peppy says so. Beatmappers can select a background color when mapping a song, so your background will be overlayed with that color. You should probably just make your playfield.png black and white, but you can add a hint of color. Just be aware that it will be recolored for gameplay. The menu-button-background works the same way.
The same rules apply to the approachcircle.png and hitcircle.png, which will change color along with the combo.
The countdown is hard to skin properly.
That's not a question, but it's true. Count1.png will be the bottom layer, so you have some leeway with that, but for 2 and 3, you should follow either the template skin or the EBO skin as closely as possible to avoid a mess. These sprites are aligned based on their left border, so variations in shape and size will mess everything up.
Why isn't anybody commenting on my skin?
There are a few possibilities:
A) It sucks
B) The topic is too obscure, so people don't bother with it
C) For the most part, only skinners browse the skinning section, so don't assume it's A or B. Sometimes nobody comments because nobody has checked it out. Be patient, ask about it in IRC, and keep improving your skin even if nobody is saying anything.
Also, make sure you post some screenshots, keep your first post updated with the most recent download, and bump your thread when you update, so people know what to expect before they download.
What do I have to do to get my skin added to the updater?
This isn't a very democratic process, as it's largely up to me and Peppy's whims. But to increase your odds of being "published" in the updater, make sure your skin is:
A) Complete. You don't need to skin every little thing, but the gameplay sprites, at the very least, should all match the theme.
2) Fun. It should be fun to play Osu using your skin. Anything too distracting, obnoxious, or ugly might ruin the experience, even if it does fit the theme, so make sure the priority is on making it enjoyable to play with.
3) Clean. I'm a stickler for this. Make sure your sprites have smooth edges, so they don't look like crap when Osu resizes them. I suggest using an outer glow or drop shadow when appropriate. Also, delete any remnants of the template skin. They waste space and make your skin look unfinished when I browse the folder.
I'll try to organize this better once I have some more questions. So ask away.

Yes you can, it's personal use, no one will know what you did to a skin. ^^;Breadly wrote:
uh is it okay if I change some parts of a skin for personal uses?
Like.. I downloaded this reaally nice skin but I don't really like the cursor or the combo burst picture![]()
Is it okay if I remove it or switch it out for something from another skin, or is that like.. taboo. I'm only asking this because I heard deleting the background for a song wasn't permitted so does the same apply to skins or what? Just wanted to make sure beforehand, thanks in advance ^__^
Hmm... I don't think there's a way to do exactly what you said. Approach circle colors match the color of the hit circle, so you could try going into skin.ini and use only one hit circle color. That way, all hit circles will be of the same color and the same should apply to the approach circles.SonicX171 wrote:
How to force approachcircle.png to a custom color? I mean all skin elements are stay neon-blue, but approach circle changes color by beatmap combo color settings.
I'm sorry if I missed it.
Wow long time. A little late, but this is Hit Lighting that has been enabled in the Options for you. Turn it off and you should be fine.Kyrgyzstan wrote:
Hi. I don't entirely remember where I got it, but I've been using the "Audiophile" skin by xsrsbsns and ever since the last patch, I've been getting circles showing up on all of my sliders that are a bit distracting. It would seem to be the hitcircleoverlay.png not resizing correctly for some reason, so a small circle shows up at the beginning and end circle of every slider, as shown in the image below. I've been using this skin for a good while now and had no problems before the last patch, so any help in fixing the problem would be appreciated!
