thing is, it clearly looks different in several of my skins, so I'd believe that it can be modified.

Geez, Why no one is downloading new template? You have everything there... just look at pictures and see where they are in-game...

He means that the black bar behind it can't be skinned. The buttons can be skinned. They start with selection-mode, not to confuse with selection-mod.

I don't actually know the font since I didn't make this skin. But it's from Shizuru~'s skin.

Hi, I'm trying to do the taiko part for a skin, but I can't manage to align the drum "highlights" (taiko-drum-inner.png and taiko-drum-outer.png) Do you know how to do it properly? this is driving me nuts...

EDIT: I just managed to align it correctly after losing all my hair, so please ignore this post.
hehe
i remember seeing it somewhere but i can't put my finger on it. i don't eve know what terms to search for. anyone with that skin element willing to share it?

it looks pretty simple, a white health bar, but the ki is just a vertical line that is shining, thats the best way i can describe it.

Could it be from Aesthetic? or HD Neon, or from Luminance Skin? These skins are the only skins that have a health bar I know that nearly fits that description.
CarinderYeah
anyone up for helping me make a pippin out of the pic I provided?
hehe

Anyone knows where this skin elements are from? I have no response from the user and his/her skin link at userpage is outdated.

Hey, guys. I have a problem.
I need to change black sliders as here (CtB) http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/1446253 to another colour, because I dont want to play with black sliders on some maps on the black bg. What do I need to change here http://puu.sh/7GwET.png ? This is a file if someone needs - http://puu.sh/7GySw.ini .

CtB Elements:

fruit-apple.png - fruit-pear.png - fruit-orange.png - fruit-grapes.png


These are the main fruit graphics for CtB. Keep in mind that, like hit circles, they undergo colour change, so using black to white is suggested.
But something doesn't seem right? They don't have their stems!

It's also suggested to have an approximately distinguishable shape, to distinguish hyperfruits from non-hyperfruits.

fruit-apple.overlay.png - fruit-pear-overlay.png - fruit-orange-overlay.png - fruit-grapes-overlay.png


Each fruit has it's own overlay. Unlike the fruits themselves, they are not affected by combo colours. This also means you can grant a little colour tint to a fruit or slap a little happy face on all your potatoes if you want to.

There are also a few other fruits.

fruit-bananas.png - fruit-bananas-overlay.png



The bananas also determine the score gain during a spinner. Keep in mind that they spawn in a random colour close to yellow. if you want your own set colour, you'll have to nullify the actual bananas and put it in the overlay.

fruit-drop.png



Unlike the other fruits, this one has no overlay, so in essence, it will only hold to the combo colour. Keep in mind that these are used for the slider ticks AND the slider droplets, so basically all of the insides of sliders will use this graphic.

fruit-ryuuta.png



The final element of CtB, the catcher himself, Ryuuta. Try to make the catcher distinguishable from the rest of the game, and make sure the player can identify well when the fruit is to hit the plate. Having a thin line flying around may be nice for some players, but doesn't help a vast majority.

fruit-platter.png



There is also the platter itself. It's there go over the fruits once they have been caught, to make it seem like the catcher actually has the fruits in his platter. As far as i know, this is defunct, but still useful to know if you want to make sure older versions are ok.

Thanks a lot, Kitokofox! :3

I have a question. what does element hitcircleselect do again? and is there any way to fix the hit-lighting where it maintains the circular form in osu! mode and have a different type of lighting during CtB mode?.

edit

the following are the screen shots

SPOILER
this is the hitlighting in Osu! mode.



and this is the hitlighting in CtB mode.

I want it so that the hit lighting in Osu! mode remains but the one in the CtB mode becomes like this

From first post.

Hitcircleselect
Hitcircleselect is a sprite for "selected object" in beatmap editor.
It's a blue glow on the picture.

No, lighting.png is used both in CtB and standard osu!. There is no way to separate them unless you make a copy of skin and change things to fit into specific game mode.

Lighting
Lighting is part of hitcircle. It appears behind hitcircle after hitting it. You can also see it behind circle when beatmap have kiai time.
Please, try to avoid making it very large, since it's expanded after appearing. If you want it to be visible behind hitcircle in kiai time, simply make it a little larger than hitcircle.
In default skin it's just a glow :



Lighting is also visible in kiai time while playing CtB



Examples of lighting :

CarinderYeah
Thanks for the hitcircle select.

Now, the lighting part. I find it kind of wierd having a circular lighting during kiai time in CtB. And I was thinking that there might be another name for CtB's lighting since I noticed that there is a different naming for mania's lighting, lightingL-X. But, thank you very much.

edit.

Last question, I noticed there are 3 stars in the skin folder named star, star2 and star3, I know that the first star represents the stars in the difficulty, while star2 works under the comboburst and is also released by the cursor during gameplay, but where does star3 fall under?
OsuMe65
The third one is unskinnable, sad to say.

star3.png can be found on the main menu. (the sreen where the logo shows itself)
CarinderYeah
oh, those stars? I see. thanks.

  1. use Taiko skin for Taiko mode option allows to use Luigi's taiko skin ONLY for Taiko mode.
  2. no, if you're trying to place it directly. add a folder and place that stuff there.

where do people normally go when creating new custom numbers?
sorry if this sounds really stupid...
[Momo Suzuki]
The natural cursor for thee skins I have are all to big for me. They are all the size of the default skin, but I would really like a skin with a cursor that is small, but not to small, and maybe with a glow effect to it o .o Can someone give me a link or something for one? Pwease and tankies ;-;


lmao, this is my third time posting this xD Hopefully this is the right place to ask it . :?

What do you mean 'where'? em... Photoshop? I'm not sure what are you asking xD

So, if you are askin for "What are the elements that i have to change" those are the "default-N", "mania-score-0" and "score-N" where N is the number.

If you are asking about how do you do the numbers, well... photoshop has a text tool, just use the font you want.

I wonder why no one uses the search bar...
[Momo Suzuki]
I did use the search bar, and it was useless to me. But thanks anyways!

wtf is a circularmetre
OsuMe65
iirc it's unskinnable. that element appears if and only if your progress bar is a pie (top-right)
[ Zan ]
I remember the main osu button being skinnable in the test version, was there any reason it's not skinnable anymore?
Orbital
Hi, sorry for being a noob to the forums.

Is there currently a way to make combos disappear from game? More specifically CtB, if it matters.
OsuMe65
no, as long as there are score-(n).png files.
