Why don't I get the fancy wallpaper when my osu starts up?
You need to be a 'Supporter' to have custom wallpapers. Become one here https://osu.ppy.sh/p/support

How do I get numbers instead of stars?
Go into you osu installation folder where you will see a folder called 'skin'. Than you will see a folder with soda in the name, click on that. There will be an 'extra' folder in there. After that you will see a folder called 'numbers'. Be sure to first replace the 'skin.ini' file with the one located in that folder. Than select the number size you want and copy and replace the stars.

I don't like 'insert whatever you don't like here', How do I replace it??
I try to cater to all types of players, Be sure to check the 'extra' folder to see if there is a better option for you. If not be sure to leave feedback and i'll see what I can do.

My skin/hitsounds change when I play some beatmaps?
Go to your options. search and activate these. Make sure these are activated. 'Ignore beatmap hitsounds', 'Ignore all beatmap skins', 'Use Skin's sound samples', 'always use skin cursor'.

The hit-sounds are to quiet!
I enjoy quieter hit sounds. If it's a problem just make your 'music on 50%', 'effect on 100%', and just adjust your master to your liking.

The modes text shadow is offset?
Though I've been unable to replicate this, It's more than likely a weird resolution issue. Be sure to first try and go into your osu options and try a different resolution. I prefer and recommend 1366x768 windowed mode. Though if changing your resolution isn't an option than go into the 'extra' folder located in the main soda skin folder. Than go into the 'modes' folder and copy the files located in the 'Magic no text shadow' folder and replace the main files.

Will you skin Osu!Mania?
Yes. I don't play it so I am currently researching how to play a good skin readability wise.

Why is the skin not HD?
This skin was originally a personal skin. I played on 1366x768 windowed mode so I designed the skin around those dimensions. Though it's still completely playable on a 1080p+ full screened osu. Though it's not recommended.

Who is the artist used in the skin?
There name is 'Saru'.

What is the song that plays on the rank screen?
Title: 月の雫
Artist: 多夢(TAM)
Album: 癒し

My spinner lags
Go to your options. Make sure your 'Renderer' is set to 'DirectX'. Disable detail settings if your computer is poor spec wise.

Um pretty much make your button(left,middle,right), menu-background, and menu-button-background unique and blend well together. They are the main graphics that change the look of lobbies. Hope that helps. :)

Everybody skins the mode-buttons is not cool anymore ;w;
But Why not skinning this and making it look better looks weird

I made the hitsounds louder, I'll leave them here

hmm.. odd. I have all the slider ticks as silent audio files. I'll look into it.

Go into your options on osu > find the "open skin folder" button > this will bring up the "soda v11" folder. Inside that folder you find another folder called "numbers". Go into that folder than go into the "soda numbers" folder > There highlight all the images and copy them. Than go back into the "soda v11" folder and paste them. Just say yes when it asks you to replace. Ask me if you have any more questions :3

Cool skin, I actually started using a couple of the elements from this in my own. I have some suggestions though:

If you're planning on making more skins in the future I'd like to see you make use of x2 files for some HD goodness. I was kind of surprised to see a new skin like this with no x2 files in it. It looked really good in the screenshots and in-game, so I kind of expected it to be HD as well.

The ranking panel is not adapted after the graph, which makes it impossible - at least for me - to use the ranking-panel.png at all. I'd like to use it, but myeeeaaa, the line is overlapping the accuracy.

Then we have the girl in those "mode-[insert game mode here]-med.png" files. I personally think it feels awkward to have her in the middle; it makes it harder to read. Suggestion is to move her more to the right, but she might still be a bit in the way so whutevah.

I'd also like to see extra files, as in miss, 50 and 100 as numbers and letters (probably also 300s and just for the sake of completion, but I wouldn't make use of it). I can't play with stars as indicators, and I'd like something that matches the rest of the scorescreen. Personal request, but I'm hopefully not the only one who thinks so.

That's pretty much it, I guess. Again, cool skin. I usually don't change my skin at all, but I liked this one, so I did. Sorry for being nazi, but that's what happens with me when I want to use someone else's skin sometimes.

Thank you for the constructive criticism. My apologies for it not being hd, it was a personal skin for a long time and I never had the need to have it higher res. If I ever get around to making another skin I will definitely cater to the higher res players.

Hmm.. Yeah I never thought about people wanting to add their own graphs behind it. This would literally just need me to move a few things around and resize my numbers to fix.

Good point on that. I can think of a few solution to improve readability on the text for the modes. :)

Adding extra files wouldn't be a hassle as those are quick additions! :) I can fix all of these by tmmr or way later tonight as i'm a little busy today. Once again thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
