Does animated stuff in skins can make your frame drop a lil? cause when im using a heavy weighted skin it drops my fps and crashes.

Yes it totally can, which is why there is a few notes about that in the part about animations in the tutorial
Riae

2 things, 1. Can you have the hitcircleoverlay be hind the hitcircle? 2. If not, does the hitcircleoverlay get affected by combo color?

The whole point of the hitcircleoverlay is to have a layer that is on top (an overlay) that is not affected by the combo colour. So no, neither of those are possible

That's what I thought, but I was hoping one would work.

So, I just animated a new menu back button (in song selection), but the fps is too low. What do I name the images to make them go faster? or is that possible?

You need to change the AnimationFramerate in the skin.ini. Besure to read the part about animations in the tutorial

Oh, thank you. I didn't see anything about that in the tutorial. Thank you so much!

Simply having a lot of skins should not introduce any additional lag.

So I made a skin and skinned the song select menu but if I move my cursor anywhere the skin acts as if I was hovering over the mode select itself.
Idk if I described it correctly or anything but here's a video showing it with an old skin and the new one: https://streamable.com/0kvpms

You made selection-mode-over too big. the over images define the hitboxes

Ok, thanks for the help!

The skinning tutorial has been moved!
The character limit for forum posts and the fact that BBCode is an outdated language that doesnt have any good editors made me move the tutorial. You can find it and many other useful skinning related topics here:

https://tutorial.skinship.xyz/tutorial/introduction

skinning tutorial site is down.

I have a question. Can I set the skin so that all the circles are black and white, for example, or in shades of one color

You can change the colouring of hitcircles in any way you want basically. Just go into the skin.ini and set the Combo#: commands

What is the sound called when you click on a map?

Some skins has a sound effect where once you load up a map it says "Good luck" something like that.

I think it is select-difficulty, th oI havent touched sound skinning in quite some time and I am not 100% sure.

Its definitely on here tho if you are willing to look/test yourself https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bhnV-CQRMy3Z0npQd9XSoTdkYxz0ew5e648S00qkJZ8/edit#gid=1820685604

Hello! Not to be a bother but I have a question. How do I change the character that pops up whenever you hit a lot of notes? (Example: When you catch a lot of notes in Osu!CTB, A character appears for a second) My skin is going to be universal for all modes, If that effects anything.
Topic Starter

those are the comboburst images:
- comboburst(-#) for standard
- taiko-flower-group(-#) for taiko
- comboburst-fruits(-#) for catch
- comboburst-mania(-#) for mania

For detailed info please make sure to check the skinnable files spreadsheet

(Sorry if I get anything wrong I'm a little new to skinning myself)

So for example if "menu-back-0" and "menu-back-1" has the same image but are in different frames, you'll want to take away a frame of that duplicated image. Thus making the animation faster

(Because 2 of the same frames makes that split second longer, taking away 1 decreases the time it takes to finish)
If you don't have your animation setup up by duplicated images in different frames then try going into skin.ini, there will be "AnimationFramerate: 1". You'll want to change the number, if you know anything about FPS/Frame Per Second you should do just fine adjusting the framerate,

but just incase you don't know, there's 12 - 60 frames for a normal animation, but you can go lower than 12 and higher than 60.

-Lower = Slower
+Higher = Faster

I hope this helps!

If you're asking about for mania, https://skins.osuck.net/, this is the one of the most helpful websites for skins.
Here is a skin I used: https://skins.osuck.net/index.php?newsid=726

There are other websites that does skins for osu players to use. I recommend using YouTube aswell because they showcase skins for all modes.

You can start by watching youtube tutorials and using skin as practice. If you just want an arrow skin then here:

ok, but how to put the skins into osu!

You go to the directory where you installed osu and go to the Skins folder. Once there you can create a folder, name it, and put all the files from your skin there. If it doesn't show up in-game, try doing the skin refresh shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S).

Or you could just open the .osk file with osu.

hello everyone
I just started making my first own skins today
so can you suggest me how to put megumin pic next to the mania stage
thank you very much :3
JustABeginner
Open your current skin folder and find a file "mania-stage-right". Open an editing software and open the file that I told you to find. Create a blank canvas at the right of it and you can then paste your megumin picture there. Save changes and reload your skin.
JackHuynh
thank you very much :3

edit: so if i want to mix the mania part to the other skin
so can you teach me how to do it?
JustABeginner
Copy the skin elements from the current skins - since it's about mania part you just need to find every filename that has the word mania, and then transfer them into the other skin you like.

After that, reload the skin.

Hi, sorry for the bother after many years, i'm in the making of my first skin, and I basically figured everything out, but there's one thing that I don't seem to understand: how do I move the song select menu?
I tried to create my own menu the only way i know how, and that is to make the selection-mode.png the actual menu, like in bacon boi from cyperdark, using the normal osu song select template and using the same image dimensions that work on the already mentioned bacon boi.
The placing was completely off so I tried to just copy paste the menu from bacon boi to my skin, the placing was still off, where did i mess up?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the nuisance Alan

This sounds like you may not have set the version in the skin.ini, please make sure that its set to 2.5

Hello, how can the OSU skins that are on that computer be put on another computer?
JustABeginner
Hi! Sure.

1.) Open osu! file location and open Skin subfolder.
2.) Copy all the skins you would like to put on.
3.) Do the same thing on another computer - open file location and go to Skin subfolder, and then paste the skins.
4.) "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "Alt" + "S".
