A skin is not a file. The file is a archive and you you need to extract it first. After that put the spinner image into the extracted folder and place that folder into the skin folder in the osu! directory.
Thats wat i meant! haha xD its all extracted and all. I'm currently using the skin right now but i want to modify is a little :)

There are three different sets of hitsounds: Normal, Soft, Drum
You can't alternate any of the sets because it follows the mapper's settings from the timing points.
Why don't you just use a single set by using the same file (or sound effect) on the other sets?
I found the normal and soft sound sets quite easily, but i couldn't find the drum hitsound set.
Do you (or anyone else) happen to know the drum set filenames so I can add custom drum hitsounds?

I'm asking because i think the absence of a costumized drumset is responsible for the standard (drum) hitsounds in this map.
Can anyone confirm i'm on the right track?

Thanks in advance.

Mostly if a set of hitsounds or a single hitsound isn't included it means that the mappper finds the default sounds fitting for his/her map. Same rule applies to skins.
Here's a list of the drum hitsounds:
  1. drum-hitclap
  2. drum-hitfinish
  3. drum-hitnormal
  4. drum-hitwhistle
  5. drum-sliderslide
  6. drum-slidertick

Hi, is there a way to disable the combo colors for ctb?

And, can we change the "back" button in the new options menu?

I could have guessed this, and did, with some naming errors, unfortunately. So i was nearly there. Thanks anyway :)

i'm trying to put http://puu.sh/7x0Ch.png INTO http://puu.sh/73LIa/acdcea8e41.zip <- That is thelewas latest skin which is uploaded on his youtube page ANYHOW i cannot seem to put the spinner-circle into to the skin folder :/ i've tried changing the spinner-circle to spinner-bottom and it works, however the spinner spins really slowly. Any help would be much appreciated :)

This spinner-circle is designed for old skin behaviour and it won't work well with new spinner as it works differently.

To use that spinner-circle you need to uncheck "prefered new default skin behaviour" in options and change "Version:2" into "Version:1" in skin.ini of this skin.(Yes it have this option added).

i'm quite new to all this skins and stuff.. :/ how do i change it to version 1? from the skin.ini

Open notepad, move skin.ini to notepad to open it, find "Version:2" and change value, save it and reload your skin.

Use fruit-whatever-overlay.png - it doesn't change color.

Not yet.

Could someone tell me how to make all the beats red? :o also, I think I have a file missing but I don't have any idea what it is x.x or maybe the spinner looks always like the original osu skin (I mean, inside it, where the approach circle appears).
That was all, tho xD and sorry if I said something wrong, this feels weird for me D:

Do you mean the combo colors? if so: In your skin.ini file, under the "colours" section put this

Combo1: 255,0,0
Combo2: 255,0,0
Combo3: 255,0,0
Combo4: 255,0,0
Combo5: 255,0,0

(where 255,0,0 is pure red)

this is possible in 2 ways:
1. Make your hitcircle-overlay.png red
2. Edit your skin.ini as elzapatoverde told ya:

Combo4: 255,0,0
Combo5: 255,0,0
(where 255,0,0 is pure red)
What's the difference?
It's on the lighting.png:
  1. If you're making your overlay red (and leaving your hitcircle blank or whatever), then your lighting will use your skin's or beatmap skin's combo colors when they appear
  2. If you're editing your skin.ini your whole set of hitcircle (hitcircle and the lighting) will be red
You can do both to make it whole red :D

REMEMBER: if you also want your sliders red, put SliderTrackOverride: 255,0,0 on your skin.ini, otherwise it'll following any combo color that is currently used (your skin or beatmap colors)

Same thing applies to CTB, just use the correct file and voila, just don't use them on taiko~! :p

for the scorebar-colour you have to remove 16 pixel lines at the top to have it aligned. The upper left corner of the scorebar-colour is on the position 5,16.
The same goes for the scorebar-ki images, but add pixel lines at the top of them.

OOOOooooh. i thought the pixel spacing had to be symmetrical with the background lifebar...

THANK YOU SO MUCH..

Could this be skinnable? The Mode words I mean, I know the icons (Osu Standard Icon, Taiko Standard Icon, CTB Standard Icon, and Mania Standard Icon) can be configured, but I am looking for help on the words. Additionally, I am thinking of skinning the mouse-over part too. where instead of it glowing purple, I will change that part of the mouse over.

My plan is that it will be invisible, you will see it only when you mouse over the mode.

dws123
as far as I know only this skin has those skinned, try looking through it
sorry if I'm not helping
CarinderYeah
Checked it, but it has no traces of the font being skinnable.
OsuMe65
Icon is possible; text isn't.
CarinderYeah
Oh, That's too bad. How about the Mouse Over? That is a no-no too?
OsuMe65
still no good

Heya, I've tried to skin a cursor for a skin for a long time, although I had no success, Thought I'd post it here for help :P

The cursor I'm heading for is with cursor trail of

But with these colors :
Cursor - R = 51, G = 255, B = 153
and the cursor trail something a bit lighter such as : R = 102, G = 255, B = 178

Thanks by advance if you can help :>3
Hatsune Chiyo
what part do you asked for? I honestly have no idea what you asked for.. :\
Rei Hakurei

and the red as the trail one... (sorry not by file..)

I still can't do it :C It looks like crap when I recolor and gains un intentional pixels :x

I bassically tried to recolor it to Cursor - R = 51, G = 255, B = 153 and Cursor Trail - R = 102, G = 255, B = 178 but
couldn't for some reason, nor could I recolor from the original white :/
If someone could help me with recoloring It'll be much appreciated :P

Oh, you mean recolor, huh?

Try hue shift, if you're using Photoshop, access them with ctrl-alt-U, or Image > Adjustment > Hue/Saturation
If you want them colorless, drag the saturation slider to the leftmost side.. :D

Well that's a huge request ._. making a good pippin is hard as sh*t xD I've been doing one for two days and I'm only halfway ;A; I want to see the brave who will take this request :P

PD: I could use the image you provided to make the ryuuta, if you want to.
CarinderYeah
even just the ryuuta is fine. I have Sonico as my pippin right now. Thank you so much.
