An idea i had would be an interesting addition to skins!
so, instead of when you use the autoplay the player name is always called 'osu!' we could change that!
for example, if there is a skin like Nekonet it could be called 'Nekobot' or something similar, this option could be changed in the skin.ini file and would be a nice little addition to skins!
and in default, if this feature is added, the automod could be called 'Pippi!'

for those wondering what i mean by the autoplay mod's player name it's this

1. I'm fairly sure this would be harder to implement than it seems
2. Can you provide one reason why this would be useful?

1.Yep, expected ths point, this could be a pain in the ass to make, but, i dunno
2. It adds another piece of personalistation, but apart from that it's just a tiny thing that i'd like to see included without any real use~

lol this will surely happen

'xXnoob1978Xx' recently joined osu! and has youtube account.
'xXnoob1978Xx' changed autoplay's name from 'osu!' to 'xXnoob1978Xx'.
'xXnoob1978Xx' turn on autoplay with the new name and records the video.
'xXnoob1978Xx' submits the recently recorded video to his/her youtube channel.
Other noobs will think he is a pro while some think he hacks.

Yeah, these problems.
But for the skin purpose, it seems nice to have.

No. Auto is played by osu's! respective bot and that's how it's named. Give it some credit.

On a more serious note, it is not wise to let players change it as it may produce confusion. In mania, all you would need to do to pose as a top tier player is to rename the bot, put a black box on auto and play with HR.
