Ok, i need help. Since the last few updates my skin breaks more and more, now the song selection became unreadable too.
No matter of using Version 1 or 2, my song selection menu text is missalinged and nearly unreadable and the taiko elements missalinged. In version 2 my spinner dissapears and gets replaced by the default one.
EDIT; On that note, there a few unskinable ui things broken too.
That is because they changed it xD Try to put the new Default skin and look the new Song Selection Menu.
Im waiting for the new Osu Default Skin Template (p/3135653#p3135653) For try to fix my skins :l
it could be. at skin.ini, set "Version" to "Version: 2.0" then you can use the old spinner image as "spinner-top.png" and just blank the pixels of "spinner bottom.png".(as I said this already...I just wanted to do step-by-step) if you don't want the spinner appearing with double white frames, you can just erase all pixels of the "spinner-middle.png"(I DON'T mean to delete the file or it will still show up if you do) and use the old ranking screen files such as the graph, the "perfect", the score bar and anything that appears on the ranking screen. (just let me know if this answers your question or not... I may not be right sometimes :/ )Nerova Riuz GX wrote:

Now, any tips on how to fix the problems?
Im not a skinner and i know only basic image editing... any options i can change besides the version which didnt do anything but break the spinner too?
I love the lack of documentation on how spinners work on version 2
these updates make skins for some people worse :/Granger wrote:

They said that we need to edit the Skin.ini for fix it. And you can get the actual Skin.ini of the Osu Default Skin Template. (The link that I've copied)Granger wrote:

I'm having this problem too. I have six skins and changed all of them to "Version: latest." Half of them work perfectly; the other three have default spinners. I tried changing it to "Version: 2" and got the same result except the beatmap selection page doesn't display correctly. Changing it to "Version: 1" obviously fixes the spinners, but then the beatmap selection page has issues.[Kris] wrote:

I like this update though i have a problem.
After remaking a few things on my skin my ranking-replay/ranking-retry skin stopped working, this only occurs when i have "version: latest" typed in skin.ini. The skins works fine when i remove "version: latest" from skin.ini. And "my pause-retry@2x" takes the spot of "ranking-retry" http://puu.sh/9eU3f/073bd19b7a.jpg, anyone else have this problem? anyone know how to fix it?
Edit: I've tested some more, it appears that this happens when you have two different skin models for ranking screen and pause screen, When I have "version: latest" in skin.ini osu! can't find models called "ranking-retry" or "ranking-replay". It works fine if you have the same retry/replay in both pause and ranking screen but i prefer to have diffrent models in these two places.
The same happens to my other skins aswell as soon as I type "version: latest" in my skin.ini and these skin I haven't changed anything in since the last patch.
Edit 2: typing "version: 2" in skin.ini has the same effect

Try any one of this below (in your skin's skin.ini):
Version: 1
Version: 2
Version: 2 - No image preview and spinner stays standard
Version: 1 - No image preview and spinners turned back to my custom one. But the hit bursts changed into default this time

Can anyone with a buggy spinner upload their skin so I can try to find the problem?
Rename spinner-circle to spinner-top (or spinner-bottom), other things like spinner-metre and background won't work anymore on v2, unfortunately (It would be nice if there are some way to work around this matter).-[Kirito]- wrote:

Edit: Sorry for my bad english.
Oh I tried that before and it didnt work for me either :/ so I dont know....it would a huge loss if we cant make a spinner bg 
I've pushed a change that'll force the spinner back to old style if you include spinner-background.png in your skin. Keep in mind this means you won't be able to use new spinner elements if you do so (spinner-middle, spinner-top, spinner-bottom).
A work around for this is rename to spinner-top and use a transparent image to spinner-bottom (or duplicate the spinner-circle and rename one to spinner-top and other to spinner-bottom).-[Kirito]- wrote:

I'll just skin the old spinners until the issues with the new spinners are fixed
thanks a lot
What can be done about the alignment of my skin? I've tried "Version: 2" "Version: 1" and "Version: Latest" in my skin.ini but none of them fixed the slight problem I have been having. (I put them in there with out the quotes, don't worry)
This is what the skin used to look like: http://postimg.org/image/ttpv4v813/
Hollow star player rating in the upper left and very even song selection because it aligns based on font. (It seems) Which makes a nice look curve.
What it looks like now: http://postimg.org/image/l8rxzy8h3/
Stars are filled in (I didn't log in for you to see though, oops?) and each one of the songs align whichever way they feel like. It doesn't look like a nice clean curve at all, It's all jagged.
However it looks like they do align correctly when I use this skin: http://postimg.org/image/xot97fr6v/
Is there a way to get back to the older version/way the song aligned since I can't get it to work?
Do I have to deal with it or just use a different less attractive skin?

If you notice, the song alignments are jagged anyway, and the smooth curve is noticable because the panels are solid, and not partially invisible like on your other skin. The star image has also changed, so you'll have to fill them in from the old template if you want them to go back.
MilhioreF Can you give us the new skin.ini? I wanna see the new codes for edit my skins... Also can update the Osu Default Skin Template? (t/129191/start=120)MillhioreF wrote:

Thanks, and sorry for my bad english.
There are no new skin.ini codes. The only skinning change in version 2.2 is that song select will use star2.png instead of star.png.

It doesn't use star2.png anymore.
@PinkHusky this is a cosmetic bug which will be fixed soon (misalignment when ranks are present).

awesome. thank you so much. was hoping for a change like this.
Could anyone look at my skin and maybe fix it? I mean that w/ "Version: 2" I've a problems with Taiko drums and after a song with ranking-menu-background, Retry and Watch Replay buttons, but w/o any "Version: ..." I've only problems with Taiko drums. I got confused after all this what I'm trying to do to fix this.

Use Version: 2.1 to fix the drum issue
How can i center the image? D:
Ok, the recent patch fixed my spinner for version 2, and setting the version to 2.1 fixed my taiko elements. (Thanks vahn10!)
I suppose theres nothing i can do for the map selection menu short of redoing the graphics? ._.
I also have no idea how to fix the broken unskinable elements.
