i play with two custom skins: one reddish-pink, and the other one is a kind of blue you'd see in a rafis skin. this is primarily to affect how i play, since red scientifically enhances focus and aggression, while blue suggests a more passive and calm sensation. the skins themselves are not by any means perfect, especially the standard mode, but it is fixable.
The original skin is simply too bright to use competitively, it is very distracting but also skin downloading can be made easier. there should be a section on the top ribbon specifically for skins
My favourite games are (in ranking order) Valorant, Minecraft, Overwatch, Dead By Daylight, 7 Days To Die, Osu.
I use a skin called "DYSSODIA" for Mania in general, it helps me to read the map as clear as it is since it's hard to read with the default skin.. For me, of course.
It mainly works in 4K, any other key modes above 4K it will have a bar on one column while other columns are circles.
for a person who now only likes to play osu mania (but i'm exploring other game modes), i like this default skin. I have other friends who say i should get a skin but I think I like how this default skin looks like.
I had several issues with the default skins, and I couldn't find a skin on the website that suited my preferences, so I started working on my own. After all major issues I had with the default skin whilst playing were sorted out, I found that everything became a lot more readable. (I left the menus as-is, since they didn't affect playability.)
I use dusk's skin (cuz i like the rowlet catcher) however i decided to change some sounds to hat kid voice lines (like making my combo break become her yelling peck) I also changed the pause loop to peace and tranquility
Not a single one. Haven't seen a need to change that stance yet.
SS's are life. | 63/100 DId you know IryN is a girl? Sure surprised me, too! My Youtube(1 Osu play a day, Twitch highlights, gameplay, and anything else I do.) Currently on hold due to copyright strikes. Should resume at the end of May (certainly bug me to fix this by then if I haven't yet). My Twitch

Yes, I use Mathi's yellow cursor skin for gameplay and mapping.
Always felt the desire to "draw" my cursor movements when I first touched osu! and it translated into this skin. Also use it for mapping since transparent sliders and lightly colored combo colors, which I love using as a mapper.
I used a lot of skins but I do remember I used to play with custom skins I created online. Some skins are because they're visually appealing, some skins because I just feel like I'm gonna play better with it; whatever the reason, I had a reasonable amount of them. My top preferences are Mafham's EZ skin, MillhioreF's EZ skin, and any of GN's boom skins.
I always get a ton of skins first and review them to see which one's the most I like. I often stick to a skin for almost a year after moving on to a new one.
But yeah. I did the same thing like Stomiks did. like using a skin for a while until i get tired of it. so far i'm using the Freedom Dive skin and never changed since, because it already feels comfortable compared to other skins. I tried other skins like shige's latest skin, but i couldn't perform well.
