Thanks for the quick reply.

Am I able to have two section pass sounds?

I managed to enable my menu-background and menu-glow by drag&dropping the image file into Osu. But there's still one problem: My menu-snow won't work either... It just uses the default one.

What's wrong with my skin? If I wanted to send it to someone else, it would be embarrassing to say "The background won't work unless you drag&drop it into your window - oh and the menu-snow doesn't work at all"...

I can't even get one file to work, but would it be possible to use multiple menu-snow.png files?

How do I line up the scorebar-bg and scorebar-colour?

Depends on what you want to use as the indicator (ki-elements or marker).

If you use scorebar-ki/kidanger/kidanger2 the anchorpoint for the scorebar-colour is at 5,16 (width,height).
If you use scorebar-marker the anchorpoint for the scorebar-colour is at 12,12 (width,height).

For example you have a scorebar-bg with "n x 40" and your scorebar-colour starts at around 20,20.

Using ki-elements you would have to add 5 pixels at the top of the scorebar-colour and 16 pixels at the left of the colour for it to be aligned.
Using scorebar-marker you would have to add 9 pixels at the top and 9 pixels to the right of the scorebar-colour.

As you can see it depends on what kind of indicator elements you want to use.

Would they be the same if I have transparent indicators? (size of scorebar-x)
OsuMe65
that still apply with empty markers

Transparency has nothing to do with it. Of course they can be 1x1 transparent pixel, but they won't change the size of the scorebar-colour or bg. They just influence the start position of scorebar-colour.

Hey, I have a question.

When playing the beatmap "Within Temptation - The Unforgiving," the slider border color is set to black (using the map's skin), but I would like it to be white. I didn't see an .ini file or something inside the song's skin, so I am wondering, what is making the border color black (my skin's is set to white).

(Happens on other beatmaps with their own skins also, that's just a random example)

I've been fooling around with a personal skin (Creating images, sounds and such just for fun) But I ran into the problem of Sliderpoint10 and Sliderpoint30\s showing up, and I don't know how I got them on nor how to get them off. I also have no idea how to change the overall colour of objects (I want to make my hit circles and such much darker as I have a hard time with light colours). I can see where it sais it on the tutorial but how to edit the skins (Aside from pasting images and sounds into it) escapes me. Is there a program that can be used to edit skins and such?

on : Use sliderpoint10.png and sliderpoint30.png as usual
off : copy a blank *.png picture and replace those 2 images

edit Your skin.ini inside Your skin folder and edit
Combo1: R,G,B
Combo2: R,G,B

Photoshop or GIMP are pretty useful :)

Two questions. One, how do I make my skin the new skin version type? Two, how do I add hit lightning behind each of the end of a combo like this? http://youtu.be/DlQr8Oxnclk

One: Go to your skin folder and open skin.ini. It should mark Version:<number>. Replace the number by 2.2 (not sure if 2.3 is here).
Two: The file name should be hit-300g.png, hit-300k.png, hit-100k.png. You can replace those file by the image file.

Try making a particle300g.png (just guessing, I don't know if it exists).

Ahh. I just created the folder and started throwing crap into it. I hadn't had a skin.ini folder created. This makes everything MUCH less confusing. Thanks :3

Another beatmap example is Animal - Neon Trees

Seems like a simple enough question... no answer?

Use scorebar-ki, scorebar-kidanger, and scorebar-kidanger2 instead of a scorebar-marker.

Make sure you have enabled "ignore all beatmap skins" in the options and if you want to play with the songs skin untick "ignore beatmap skin" during the short period bfore the song starts playing. Seems like the only way to play with custom slidertracks and borders while using beatmap skins atm.

Also beatmaps never have ini.files. They define all color settings in the osu-files for the difficulties in the [Colours] section in the same way as on the skin.ini-file (combocolours and slidercolours).

I have this skin mash-up for some time until this major revamp on osu come and BAM. Things look wrong.
http://puu.sh/arQj8.jpg

For now, I just want to fix the overlay between the rank icon and the song title, can i do anything about it? I tried inserting some space at the right of these icons but it doesnt seem to work... http://puu.sh/arQIH.png
OsuMe65
The image size itself is big enough to cover that title. Try to resize and resize until you get it right. (I'm telling that you can use the Trial And Error method. Although this takes time, the results will be better)

I'll give a headstart if you really need it: Keep its ratio and set your width to 34
Cryphos
I knew i had to resort to this. I dont really like the result though >_<

Next thing - any guidelines for fitting the menu-button-background with the thumbnail?

Question, im trying to make a custom scorebar, but i want font to be a way, but simply i cant.
http://puu.sh/asaYW/5fb184f2e5.png I want a font that looks like that but i can't find, or even if i find. when i use it on ps simply. It's gets all the same colour.

Any advice or how do i look for this type of font.

The way I think you could do it is find a font that is similar try this site maybe: http://www.fontspace.com
Then put down the font at the size you want in in background color of whichever object you are putting the text over.
Next outline the text in the neon color of your choice.

Could give you specifics for GIMP but I am guessing that exactly how you do this changes a bit from program to program.

Hello. I've been using rrtyui's skin from his profile page for a while and it's easily one of my favorite skins to run with. The only thing I've been having to deal with is the way the difficulty stars are displayed. Rather than the regular 10-star format, it displays it with a max of 20 and it's also a little small. Is there a way I can have this switched to the regular display so it's easier to read?

Edit: Also, it doesn't have to be a complete remake since it might not be a good fit for the menus (I can deal with the size), but I would at least like to switch it back to only show a max of 10 stars instead of 20.

Here I edited it so there is only 1 star instead of 2:
Just save that picture as star.png and replace the star.png that is in his skin folder.
Hope that is what you are looking for.

Do you have any specific images or ideas you want incorporated? Specific fonts or colors? If you give me more specifics I could try and make one.

I can't figure out why the image preview for the song won't appear here

It works fine on other skins with the same menu-button-background, but not here. Skin version is set to latest. Thank you for any help.

Did you try setting to version 2.2 - 2.3 instead of latest? Also make sure in options that the box to disable it isn't checked. Sorry I can't help more but those are my best guesses as to how to fix it.

Tried both of those and no fix. I have some other older skins with this issue, I just can't figure out why it happens.
